@virkokka @whittomd @b24liberat0r @globalistwoke @WarMonitor3 Didn’t break any agreements, but embarrassed itself.

@whittomd @b24liberat0r @globalistwoke @WarMonitor3 you feeling betrayed does not mean you actually were betrayed. Spain didn't break any agreements.

US assessing to suspend Spain from NATO. Wow…

@FaithJordan1 @DailyIranNews with prosthetics you moron

@DailyIranNews How are the soldiers walking around with no legs? 🦵🏿 😂 Tell me you're an idiot without telling me you're an idiot. Idiot!

Trump: "When you see soldiers walking around with no legs, that was Iran that did that" 🤡Trump be like : "Our soldiers Attacked Iran, and Iran responded by attacking us back. This is unfair." Elect a clown, expect a circus.

@crikey_cam @johnjrodwyer served or fought in combat? cleaning the latrines doesn’t count.

@pterygoidd @johnjrodwyer Have you served our country? I have. BRS’s alleged conduct was unethical and unjust. It undermines the ADF and everything we fought for. His fellow SAS soldiers knew it and bravely testified against him. That took real courage to call out. They deserve our thanks and respect

This Australian SAS Soldier, Ben Roberts-Smith has done 6 Tours of Afghanistan, and has killed Insurgent Groups in Afghanistan that include Taliban & Al-Qaeda that hide in plain sight as Civilians, BRS has been Jailed in Australia for performing his duty in Afghanistan, Shame🇦🇺

@crikey_cam @johnjrodwyer Very easy for some soy boy leftist soft cock to sit and judge the acts of men who put their lives on the line for their country.

@pterygoidd @johnjrodwyer It’s almost like some people believe that if you’ve performed one heroic act, you’re suddenly incapable of committing a war crime and get absolute immunity for life. His fellow elite soldiers gave damning testimony against him too. Real heroes face the music, good and bad.

@crikey_cam @johnjrodwyer He’s also performed some incredible acts of heroism. It’s almost like humans are imperfect and are capable of both good and bad. His day in court will involve being judged for actions under extreme circumstances none of us could imagine, by a jury from suburban sydney.

@pterygoidd @johnjrodwyer Proven to a civil standard, which is no small feat. In a case he brought. He’s more than likely to have committed war crimes. Hardly a ringing endorsement but not enough to keep him at his majesty’s pleasure in Silverwater. He’ll have his time in court.

@crikey_cam @johnjrodwyer not yet proven beyond reasonable doubt. 21 testifying against him is not entirely accurate - 21 were subpoenaed to testify against him. Three were alleged eyewitnesses. This was also a defamation case with findings not to the criminal evidentiary burden.

@pterygoidd @johnjrodwyer He is a proven war criminal, who is now entering the justice system. Lost his defamation case after 21 fellow SAS soldiers testified against him under oath about executing unarmed civilians and detainees. Some soldier. He’s weakened the ADF. It’s time to set things right.

@crikey_cam @johnjrodwyer We train them to be cold blooded killers. That is their job. Normally, the general public are shielded from it. If most people knew what they are ordered to do in our name they would be shocked. But that is the nature of war and warfighters. This isn’t shocking in that context.

@johnjrodwyer A former SAS soldier, Person 16, testified in Federal Court that BRS made this comment after the killing of an Afghan youth: "I pulled out my 9mm, shot the cunt in the side of the head, blew his brains out. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”

@Waddananggu @tellmemore11234 We’ve got desalination plants now, stop being a baby.

Im already on the front lines at the moment champ. 1689 days of reoccupation of my tribal homelands living in the bush to save the Great Artesian Basin and its soaks from an Indian Billionaire's coal mine. It just hasnt turned violent because I beat them with their own laws. If they wanna decide to get violent then I'm also prepared for everything. While you fks go fight in another mans land when I fight to save your great great grandchildrens water supply. We arent the same. I bet you've done nothing honourable in your life.

Aboriginals have served at a higher rate per capita than European Australians in every major war, Yet not one Victoria cross has been awarded to an Aboriginal soldier.

@psiphi_gavagai @Mylovanov Yes NATO contributed to the GWOT but not to a degree the US couldn’t have managed solo. This is the real world - there is no court to enforce these agreements. The US holds the majority of the cards. Europe made a mistake sticking to their principles over reality.

@pterygoidd @Mylovanov If you keep guns intended for self defense at your neighbors and you say you need them to commit murder, they’d be complicit in the crime as a matter of law. You’re involving them in something they don’t want to be involved with & it goes beyond your actual agreement.

Rutte: The form of power projection for the United States was in full play over the last six weeks. And yes, it is true, not all European nations lived up to those commitments, and I totally understand that Trump is disappointed about it. 1/

@psiphi_gavagai @Mylovanov How does NATO allow the US to project power beyond its borders if the US isn’t allowed to use their bases in Europe to attack Iran? Even if Europe didn’t want to join the attack, barring use of bases and airspace negates the US benefits from the alliance.

@pterygoidd @Mylovanov Before WW2 the 🇺🇸 was just another regional power. Post-war it inherited the European colonial empires, its $ became the world reserve currency, it was able to trade & influence the world how it liked. Trump is now destroying this. 🇺🇸 isn’t hegemonic on its own, requires alliance

@psiphi_gavagai @Mylovanov Then what’s the point of the US being in NATO? They are so powerful, they don’t need Europe. But there is a convenience in using their European bases for power projection. Sure Europeans can ban use of their bases or airspace. But why would US remain in the alliance?

@Mylovanov What commitments? Israel isn’t in NATO, the US wasn’t attacked. No Article 5 issue whatsoever.

@ashok_jainaj @WarMonitor3 There’s not much point if those countries just make token efforts, and I’m Australian. We make the most insignificant token contributions to keep the Americans happy. It’s more about the illusion of an alliance than genuine effective contributions. They don’t really need us 🤷🏻‍♂️

@WarMonitor3 Now President Trump is realising strength of having allies. He must reverse his policies & bring back the allies like NATO, India, Australia, Japan & South Korea with itself then things will look quite different. Bring back the Tarrifs to normal before like in first term.

BREAKING: Trump has set a deadline for European countries to militarily open the strait of Hormuz.

@LouisWordGenius @DarrenAdams1967 @Ben_Davison1 @AshPolitik On body count, I’d say we won. Although the body count doesn’t compare to socialism’s over the last hundred years - that’s unbeatable.

@pterygoidd @DarrenAdams1967 @Ben_Davison1 @AshPolitik “Bloody good one” Sir they lost that war. They did a pretty bad job

I stand with the 21 SAS soldiers who testified to the truth of what they knew about Ben Roberts-Smith They make me proud to be Australian

@DarrenAdams1967 @Ben_Davison1 @AshPolitik The ones discharged from their unit for subpar performance under BRS. From all reports he was a task master, and a bloody good one at that. Those who didn’t shape up were shipped out. And now they are testifying against the big bad bully. Pathetic.

@Ben_Davison1 @AshPolitik Which ones? The ones that wouldn't answer questions on the grounds they would incriminate themselves; those ones?

@Hani_Iskander @DrewPavlou Yes let’s hope @DrewPavlou stops being a rare voice of reason, independent self employed journalist and activist interacting with Elon Musk, Donald Trump and some of the other most powerful me in the world, and joins KPMG as a boring af business analyst on 80k + super.

@DrewPavlou The only thing guaranteed is that Drew Pavlou will still be unemployed after the multi-year trial of BRS is completed.

Bookmark this tweet: Ben Roberts-Smith will win in court and then run for One Nation at the next election. Australian Office of Special Investigations director Ross Barnett on the Ben Roberts-Smith allegations: “We don’t have access to the crime scenes. We don’t have photographs, site plans, measurements, the recovery of projectiles, blood spatter. We don’t have access to the deceased. There’s no post-mortem report, there’s no official cause of death, there’s no recovery of projectiles to link to weapons that might have been carried by members of the ADF.” Tell me how you prove beyond reasonable doubt that he committed war crimes when that's the dog shit evidence brief. He's going to be acquitted, it's obvious.

@DrewPavlou You’re a good man

Guys, for the first time in my adult life I am completely debt free. On Christmas Day 2025 I asked ChatGPT to evaluate my personal financial situation and it told me it was disastrous. My net worth was -$30,000 thanks mostly to the $25,000 blank sign fine I received from the Australian authorities. And I only had like 4 weeks savings as runway to cover my extremely high rent. I remember being so stressed. But then I locked in. ChatGPT recommended I start a GoFundMe to pay off the Australian government torture fine for holding a blank sign. I was hoping to raise $5 to $6K. But instead I raised $25,000 in 24 hours to pay off the fine completely. I still had some credit card debt, Afterpay debt, SPER debt related to other government fines like my protest against Tucker Carlson's Brisbane show. But straight away this was a massive relief. Then my social media accounts just exploded from January 2026 to April 2026. I gained like 300,000 new followers and my ad revenue went up significantly on X and Facebook. NDIS Video went beyond my wildest expectations too and we raised enough money to cover $1000 a day security costs when filming and all our interstate trips to film in Sydney. I ended up paying off all my remaining credit card debt, Afterpay debt, SPER debt this week. I feel extremely lucky, for the first time in my life my net worth is technically positive and I have $20,000 saved away in my tax account to pay the tax man later this year. I've been working basically non-stop, 10 hours a day since Christmas to build my business as an online journalist and political activist, and it is starting to finally do well. Very very lucky. Onwards and upwards. Thank you guys for your support.

@themanofdata @cosmicjester Yes a widespread cultural and institutional problem. And a single high profile prosecution while the wider problem goes unaddressed, apart from some minor changes to special operations selection that are more superficial than anything. He’s a scapegoat to a wider spread problem.

Amazing how so many of the defenders of Ben Roberts-Smith don’t even dispute that he did what he’s being accused of. They simply disagree with concept of rules of law applying in war and the very concept of war crimes (at least for Australian soldiers)

@ramonz_c @jp_hig @DrewPavlou On the balance of probabilities.

@pterygoidd @jp_hig @DrewPavlou I rephrase The judge found that Roberts-Smith was involved in the murder of four unarmed Afghan civilians and was not an honest and reliable witness.

This is the part to the Ben Roberts-Smith story that makes my blood boil. On the night of August 29th, 2012 a Taliban sleeper agent in the Afghan National Army massacred three Australian soldiers in cold blood as they prepared to sleep on their own base. Their names were Private Robert Poate, Sapper James Martin and Lance Corporal Rick Milosevic. The rogue Afghan soldier was named Hekmatullah. It was the fourth insider, or ''green-on-blue'' attack by Taliban sleeper agents in the Afghan National Army against Australian soldiers in 15 months. Out of the 41 Australians who died in Afghanistan, 7 died by way of these insider attacks - attacks which technically constitute the war crime of perfidy. Hekmatullah's attack was a war crime under Article 37 of Additional Protocol I (1977) to the Geneva Conventions which prohibits perfidy as an act of war. By enlisting in the Afghan National Army and wearing its uniform, Hekmatullah presented himself as a co-belligerent fighting alongside Australian forces - not against them. He invited the confidence of Australian soldiers so as to lead them to believe that they were entitled to protection under international law, and then betrayed that confidence to massacre them as they prepared to sleep. Ben Roberts-Smith was one of the first on base after the attack. He was ordered to find and apprehend Hekmatullah in order to bring him to justice. Acting on intelligence, Roberts-Smith and his men were led to the village of Darwan, where Roberts-Smith is then alleged to have committed a war crime, supposedly kicking a farmer named Ali Jan off a cliff and ordering his execution. Roberts-Smith has always maintained that Ali Jan was a Taliban spotter in a village that was a Taliban stronghold. It is a matter of historical fact that there was confirmed armed Taliban presence in the village of Darwan the day of the raid. Robert Poate's father Hugh defended Ben Roberts-Smith and his actions: ''These citizens in the village could well have been a civilian one day and pulling the trigger the next, that‘s the way the Taliban operated. This perspective should have been included to provide some balance and context.'' The Taliban fought by blending into the civilian population. They pushed sleeper agents into the Afghan National Army and murdered our soldiers in moments of vulnerability. Where is Hekmatullah today? He lives in Afghanistan as a free man, feted as a hero by the Taliban. They don't give a fuck about international law or human rights or war crimes. They openly boast about the way they slaughtered our soldiers through acts of betrayal and perfidy. So my proposal is this: Australia can put Ben Roberts-Smith on trial when the Taliban hand over Hekmatullah, preferably dead, his head on a silver platter. Until that time, FREE BEN ROBERTS-SMITH.

@B63Scotty @MikeCarlton01 Ahh so war crime is only ok if a bullet is flying at that exact moment.

@pterygoidd @MikeCarlton01 Nothing mentioned about him being under fire.

A truly disgraceful intrusion by the Mad Monk. Shot through with errors, as usual. But hey, shit happens.

@ramonz_c @jp_hig @DrewPavlou Guilty verdict? It was a civil trial over defamation.

@pterygoidd @jp_hig @DrewPavlou During the court case, it was established that is was BRS who tried to coerce testimony from the soldiers - false testimony. This was a major factor in his Guilty verdict
