The Australian government just arrested our most decorated veteran from the Afghanistan War for alleged war crimes. Ben Roberts-Smith was awarded the Victoria Cross for Australia after singlehandedly storming two Taliban machine gun positions by himself in order to save his own SAS team. And this is how we repay him. I spoke to an Australian Afghan war veteran who told me that the Australian government literally paid for billboards in Afghanistan offering to pay random Afghans to come forward with war crime allegations. What country on Earth would do this to itself? Tell me: When does the Taliban plan on holding war crimes tribunals into their own people? When do the Taliban plan on holding themselves accountable for terrorism? Absolutely retarded to purge your own men when fighting a brutal barbaric enemy that respects no rules whatsoever. We are a cucked nation. Free Ben Roberts-Smith.




Imagine for a second the sign said, “Palestine citizens are not welcome” or “China citizens are not welcome.” See how wrong it feels? Banning an entire people for their government’s actions is not activism. It’s discrimination and racism. And it’s illegal.





I'm still confused. Why is America bombing Iran?!


No wonder some Americans say “I ran” instead of “Iran”.



This low level of civility and intelligence shown by a leader of a country is regrettable; the shameful fervor with which intentions to commit war crimes are repeated is staggering; and the fact that the Divine is invoked regardless of ill intentions clearly exposes deep fanaticism. Apologies for sharing this language.

We've lost the keys.

As the US-Israeli war disrupts the Strait of Hormuz, Pakistan is emerging as an alternative transit route. But rising costs, shrinking fuel supplies, and peak summer demand are pushing its energy system to the edge. Al Jazeera's @osamabinjavaid reports.
