@KatieGrace2022 @RobbieBarwick Once you dismantle these capabilities, it's extremely difficult to get them back. All the training, ships, berthing facilities etc all gone. The money often we receive for selling these assets off doesn't reflect the replacement cost.

@RobbieBarwick And what’s the ALP currently doing about it??? Harking back 30+ years ain’t gonna help….

Not so fast. It's time you & your neoliberal accomplices owned up to stripping Australia of all sovereign capability. YOU sold Australia's national shipping line in 1998; YOU boasted in 2000 we aren't a "shipper" nation. Now we're fully reliant on foreign shippers. Apologise.

@Peter_Fitz I think that's just an effect you get from using wide angle function on a smartphone.

@PelicanInMotion @TheMaineWonk Because Trump can do what he likes when it comes to Iran, the economy inflation etc as long as he clamps down on illegals and fights "woke."

@TheMaineWonk How can overall be higher than ever single sub-category? "Yeah, he sucks at all of these other categories, but overall, I think he's doing better than if you looked at the details."

Trump has lost Fox News.

@TheMaineWonk So strange the "overall" category is significantly higher than the others. that says to me people still love Trump even though they really dislike what he's doing regarding Iran, inflation etc.

@DoubleN97182470 @Osinttechnical The Ottawa Treaty bans signatories from producing and using anti personnel landmines. Moot anyway as the US isn't a signatory.

@Osinttechnical I thought land mines were illegal?

The U.S. appears to be dropping landmines around Iranian missile cities to catch ballistic missile launch vehicles, with some of the mines falling on nearby towns.

@P_Kallioniemi Russians threatening the British Army with a good time I see...

Russians are still searching for answers

@secretsqrl123 @IAPonomarenko I'm waiting for our politicians in Australia to wake up to this. We have an order for Virginia class subs that will only be delivered if the US can spare them. And the US currently isn't building fast enough to meet their own demand.

@IAPonomarenko soon no one will trust us. ever

I mean, how the hell is this even legal? Was it part of the contract that the seller is entitled to say “screw you and the money you've paid us, we're talking these weapons for ourselves”?

@IAPonomarenko I think it's standard in most procurement contracts with US defence companies. They will only send to you if the US can spare it. Australia has a massive contract for US built submarines that we may never see as they aren't even building enough to meet their own programme

@DschlopesIsBack Funny, because the numbers of guns owned in Australia are now offer 25% higher than they were at the time of the buy back/amnesty. So what's this you're saying about lack of freedom?

Reminder that THIS was the exact moment when Australia stopped being a free country. NEVER, under any circumstances, should you give up your guns to the government.

@jimserac @DschlopesIsBack Exactly what are we finding out the hard way?

@DschlopesIsBack There is a reason why Citizen ownership of guns was added in the 2d amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The people of England, Canada and Australia are finding that out now. The hard way.

@140MainStreet @NotHoodlum @HeatherThomasAF Can't see the adult diaper poking out the top of the waistband either

@NotHoodlum @HeatherThomasAF For the sake of accuracy, the topless guys waist should be twice the size and is missing two more chin’s.

@RpsAgainstTrump I like how Fox have to put the "approve" bar in for those who can't subtract - the disapprove number from 100.

NEW: 64% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of Iran, per Fox News poll.

@al3xrvdevitz @visegrad24 I heard your mum carried them on her back

@visegrad24 How ukronazi drones got to St Petersburg? Through Poland? From Sweden? From Finland?

BREAKING: Ukrainian suicide drones just struck the Russian oil refinery Kirishi in the St Petersburg region. The sky is now glowing red over Kirishi

@TheArmedSquid @ColtonHenr76585 @danrgraber @RpsAgainstTrump then why make specific reference to a "well regulated militia" then?

@MtotheShacks @ColtonHenr76585 @danrgraber @RpsAgainstTrump There’s never been a condition to be in a militia to exercise the Right.

Just when you thought the GOP couldn’t be a more embarrassing cult, Speaker Mike Johnson presented Donald Trump with the “first-ever America First Award”: “We have created a new award. We are going to do something we’ve never done before. We will honor him with a new award… That’s a beautiful gold statue, appropriate for the new Golden Era in America.”

@ColtonHenr76585 @danrgraber @RpsAgainstTrump If you want access to those things, join a well regulated militia. As per the second amendment.

@danrgraber @RpsAgainstTrump And machine guns, crew served weapons, anti aircraft, artillery etc etc everything needed to fight tyranny (aka trump) as per the founding founders intended.

@Peter_Fitz My understanding, belief is the primary thing that matters for evangelicals. You can act like a complete Sea Hunt, as long as you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. Call me weird, but I think your actions are a measure of your worth, not what deity you choose to accept.

Can you expand?

@bcg1976 @NickMcKim And what oil shall we process? We had to import oil to refine before we shut down a bunch of refineries as we don't have enough domestic resources.

@NickMcKim We should be ambivalent and build refineries. If you truly gave a shit about the environment, processing in 1st world countries is the way forward. With the added benefit of national energy security.

If Labor is worried about petrol prices they should stop cheer-leading the war that’s driving them up. Oppose the war. Stand for peace.

@CalvinMcgettig1 @grantstern Overseas, Trump endorsements are the kiss of death. Trump endorses a foreign candidate and that candidate gets smashed.

@grantstern Trump endorsements rarely matter. Every time his choice loses he & the media ignore it. Every time it works it’s framed as “he’s still got it” Almost the entire media ecosystem helped create him , justify him, excuse him, empower him…yet, we are expected to believe it’s him?

Trump endorsed the most powerful Republican legislator in North Carolina. The NC Senate leader lost anyway. In a Republican primary. Trump is OVER. newsobserver.com/news/politics-…

@Dovydas44444 Couldn't they use an ebike?

Apple recording data for its Maps app with the help of delivery-guy lookalikes. Does this look super high-tech in 2026: A) Yes; B) No?

@stokdog A wind turbine pays back the energy cost to build it in about 18 months. That's all the concrete, steel, composites and fuel used to build it. It then carries on producing energy for another 25 years.

This photo shows 180 tonnes of steel reinforcement used at the base of a wind turbine. To complete it, approximately 800 cubic meters of concrete remain to be added. It will remain in the ground. IT'S NOT GREEN. Hit ♥️ if you think renewables are a scam
