@Axiomaticrule @DrewPavlou I voted for trump. He’s our last hope. I hope you guys can stop your slide into the Marxist abyss

@sde729 @DrewPavlou Who gives a flying toss that it’s sad. Get up and fight back

BREAKING: Left wing Australian journalists travelled to Afghanistan in 2024 to ask the Taliban to assist war crimes investigations against Australian soldiers including Ben Roberts-Smith. Saturday Paper writer Michelle Jasmin Dimasi said the Taliban men she interviewed were very supportive. My country is going fucking insane.

@Axiomaticrule @DrewPavlou Sad but true

Stop calling this insanity. This is not insanity nor are the likes of Michelle insane. They’re engaged in a serious campaign and we’d be admitting defeat to call them crazy. This is war. It’s a war waged by the spirit of revenge, envy and resentment. This is socialism, anti-westernism, feminism and postmodernism all working hand in glove. There’s nothing insane about this. Taliban may be an enemy, but the white western straight man is the more hated enemy and therefore the enemy of their enemy is their friend. FFS Australian people understand this, stop calling this insanity and start seeing it for what it is

@davidsheppard73 @news_australian lol it’s a good band

@news_australian Division - if only there was a sign as to what someone’s agenda is and what he takes from it

BREAKING: Australia’s most respected investigative journalist, Professor Peter van Onselen, says that the Ben Roberts-Smith case will tear Australia apart. What do you say? #auspol #petervanonselen #benrobertssmith

@SaiKate108 You Australians better fix your country

It’s personal for Veteran Sam Bamford who goes ballistic over the arrest of decorated war hero Ben Roberts- Smith. He describes the horror of losing 3 mates shot by Taliban soldiers who had infiltrated the Afghan army working along side the AFD. With the first responders to make the scene safe being Ben Roberts-Smith and his team. ‘You don’t get to send us into that type of war zone and then judge us for what happened over there when we get home.’

@EricLDaugh @RichardGrenell It’s going to be so tough for me. I also really like Rubio. Good problem to have I guess.

🚨 JUST IN: JD Vance just concluded his blockbuster Hungary rally in an ELECTRIC moment, the crowd gave him a STANDING OVATION Phenomenal showing for JD! 🇺🇸🇭🇺 "Will you stand against the bureaucrats in Brussels? Will you stand for sovereignty and democracy? Will you stand for Western civilization? Will you stand for freedom, for truth, and for the God of our fathers?" *Crowd erupts* "Then my friends, go to the polls in the weekend, stand with Viktor Orban because he stands for you and he stands for all these things. God bless Hungary and God bless the United States of America!"

@LibertyCappy Demographics determines. Unless we deport all the illegals we will be outnumbered

The Left wing is cooked if we can survive as a nation for another 10-15 years Baby boomers are about to hit the mortality cliff and Right wing people are reproducing much much faster than the Left It's a battle of attrition right now Lock in

@Cygi111 @Microinteracti1 Best of luck

@sde729 @Microinteracti1 And why should I consider China an enemy when the US president kisses Putin's ass, who threatens Europe?

I am not sure the American military establishment has fully grasped what Trump has actually done here. So let me spell it out in language even a Pentagon procurement officer can understand. Europe has been buying American weapons at a staggering rate. In 2024 alone, US foreign military sales notifications to European countries hit $76 billion. Four times the European average since 2008.  F-35s, missile systems, air defence, ammunition. All of it American. All of it coming with decades of service contracts, maintenance agreements, spare parts, software updates and training programmes worth hundreds of billions more over their operational lifetimes. Between 2020 and 2024, the United States supplied 64 percent of all European weapons imports.  That is now over. Europe has an $860 billion defence plan, and American contractors are being frozen out. The goal is 80 percent of all military purchases from European factories by 2030.  Airbus. Rheinmetall. KNDS. Saab. Leonardo. BAE Systems. They are about to receive the largest order book in the history of European defence industry. Because Trump made it politically impossible for any European government to keep writing cheques to Washington. Some European governments have discussed worries that the Pentagon could remotely disable American F-35 fighters or impose restrictions on how US weapons can be used.  When your supplier is also threatening to annex your allies, that is not paranoia. That is basic procurement logic. Trump set out to make America great again. He has succeeded magnificently. For Rheinmetall. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@Jason2bartlett Love it!!!!

Since moving to America to escape the extreme violence against white people in South Africa I’ve managed to grow a nice flock of sheep to supply my family and community with quality grass fed lamb… This is what white South Africans do when you leave them alone in safety…

@VeryBrexitProbs Then it’s settled. You don’t need our troops.

Russia has spent four years failing to fully occupy 20% of Ukraine. But sure, they’ll just stroll through Europe home to the world’s second largest military power collectively, with nuclear weapons, 2 million active troops and defence budgets that dwarf Russia’s. This is your brain on MAGA media.

@ToBo_CH @TKratman Yes it’s a financial tool used to sort things out. A restart if you will. The whole world will go bankrupt. Not wishing for that but also not wishing to pay for the defense of a population that is no longer aligned with us.

@sde729 @TKratman Great optimism. You know what bankruptcy is? fortune.com/2026/03/23/us-…

I perceive a serious misunderstanding on the part of many of the costs of NATO. It is, in the first place, an area of risk and, on our part, obligation to meet and deter that risk. This means keeping forces, and training forces, to meet that risk. This costs money, a LOT of money. Absent obligations to NATO we can cut our forces, cut our deployments, and end expensive levying of troops to NATO. Now those NATO countries that have refused to either participate in our war with Iran nor even to let us use our bases on their soil; it will be unpopular for me to say so, but they’re perfectly within their rights on two grounds. One is that NATO is not an offensive alliance; nothing in the treaty requires anybody to help us attack somebody. (That said, since Iran has been at war with us for 47 years now, arguably our current response is within Article Five.) The other reason is that no one can claim neutrality who lets people use their soil as either a base or to pass troops through. If they permit it, they have opened themselves up, quite fairly, to being attacked. But legal or not, these twin refusals have been unwise, very unwise, because they have opened up American eyes to the fact that NATO really no longer fits our interests and that we ought withdraw from the treaty entirely. And one strongly suspects that we will. Without us, NATO just isn’t worth much, militarily. It is also not entirely clear to me that any amount of money future NATO, without the US, might spend will ever give them the defense they’ll have lost when the US pulls out. Why not? Because the martial spirit just isn’t there any more. The patriotism just isn’t there any more. Not that they will ever actually spend that money anyway, mind you.

@Cygi111 @Microinteracti1 Literally admitting that us funding nato is folly since you don’t consider China your enemy.

@Microinteracti1 Europe is rapidly developing its own arms industry. Europe currently has fewer arms production capabilities than the US, but Europe has one enemy: Russia. The US has many, including China. Russia's GDP is only 5% of Europe's. Europe can cope without American weapons.

@ToBo_CH @TKratman America first. We will be fine.

@sde729 @TKratman But what‘s the plan to avoid the bankruptcy? Invade more countries? Wreck the world economy?

@johnsmith3433 @TKratman We will soon unless the communist democrats win.

@TKratman Yankee go home.

@ToBo_CH @TKratman We agree. We week be fine without you.

@TKratman After the US betrayed & threatened its former Allies/vassals, nobody except Israel trusts the US anymore. As the US turned hostile towards Europe, it should leave NATO and Europe should end the deals for US bases. And stop financing the US with several hundred billions per year.

@LtTimMcMillan French are pussies

French Gen. Michel Yakovleff saying that establishing an austere airbase inside Iran was crazy and that U.S. officials needed to "stop snorting cocaine" is now a TERRIBLE look for the French military. The U.S. did exactly that, just outside of Isfahan, FFS.

@timkaine Traitor Tim

We are trying to rescue a downed American in Iran. Hegseth’s boasts about “no quarter,” “no mercy,” and axing “stupid rules of engagement” mean we have to hope that Iran follows the humanitarian laws that US leaders now dismiss. axios.com/2026/03/15/tru…

@Dennis933625175 @real_defender Unfortunately you’re spot on. They are hoping we fail so badly.

@real_defender How many Leftists are angry over this?

The missing F-15E weapons systems officer has been recovered alive from inside Iran. There was a massive firefight at the recovery site. American special operators fought their way into Iran, found their pilot, and pulled him out alive. Well done America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

@Warthogbill7528 @TKratman If dems win things will not change. If republicans keep presidency things will change.

@TKratman Unfortunately we need them. We need Europe as a base against Russia. We need Australia for the same reason against China. They know it. We know it. Nothing will change.

From Martin Iles, reposted: Having lived in the USA for nearly two years, I've realised something. The USA and the remainder of the Western world are no longer aligned. We all laugh and mock when the Americans say, "Freedom!" because we truly think we're as free as they are. Wrong. We're not. Not even close. The laws, the mindset, and the behaviour, is totally different in this regard. Most of all, the governments are totally different. The USA's convictions around core freedoms are on a scale we do not share. Meanwhile, Donald Trump wins the popular vote, the electoral college, the House, and the Senate... a man who, in every other Western country, is held in open derision, if not contempt. For these and other reasons, we are not the same. Yet the West, including Australia, fully expect to rely on the USA for our very survival. If the world turns bad (which will happen - only a question of time), then the whole West, without America, is toast. So, you may ask - if we're not very aligned ideologically, then it must be that we bring something to the party militarily? Well, no... actually... we don't matter that much militarily. The USA has about 470 ships in its navy, including 11 aircraft carriers, 69 submarines, 75 destroyers... plus 110 new ships in the pipeline. Australia has about 30, including 3 destroyers, 7 frigates and 7 outdated submarines. The UK does a little better, with about 60. Meanwhile, the US has over 14,000 military aircraft. A staggering number. Australia has 252 military aircraft. The UK has 556. The US army has just shy of 1,000,000 uniformed personnel in its military. Australia has about 45,000. The USA spends 3.4% ($968 billion) of its GDP on defence. Australia spends 2% ($36.4 billion). The US spends as much as the next 15 largest military-spending countries (including China) combined. The USA has a fighting culture. The men shoot things (a lot) and hunt things, the veterans get favoured in everything from parking spots to boarding planes. A uniformed young man is thanked in the street a dozen times a day. "Oh, the Americans and their guns!" we say, in our smug way. Yes, they have a warrior culture. We do not. We don't have to, because we're a leech on theirs. How many young British men are willing to fight for their country? Now ask the same regarding young American men. The difference is about as wide as it could be. Militarily, we don't offer squat. Meanwhile, look at the way Australia works against America's interests by loving on China. China made us rich and we stay close. This is a Marxist regime with expansionist aims. Again, you have to spend time in the USA to realise just how vast a gulf there is between us on China. Europe, too. They let China have their way everywhere from Germany to Greenland, all the while importing Islam and sending their own people to court for saying hurty words. Somehow, we have landed the deal of a lifetime with the USA that says, "when the baddies come, you'll save us ok?" Because we can't save ourselves. And we live in peace. But we keep gnawing away at freedoms, keep enabling China, and get flabby and disinterested about our military because Uncle Sam's got it. And, let's be honest, Americans are widely looked down on. To add insult to injury, we don't think that highly of our protectors. So, the USA is finally saying "enough." I am here, I can tell you what the vibe is, and that's it. Trump is doing what people want in this regard. They're over it. And we come across all shocked and hard done by. We behave like people with no self-insight at all. Yes, the global alliance system is all over the place now. From America's perspective, it's about time. And I must say, though I be a proud Australian, I am forced to agree. Something has to change.

@justjay1863 @JohnHundeslit We love trump. Best president of my lifetime and I was around for Reagan.

Do you think the rest of the world will just forgive and forget so easily? You have to remember half your warped country saw how bad he was the first time and then signed up for more. I’m afraid this will be multigenerational damage. I predict the Dollar will be removed from the word reserve and oil etc will be trading in other currencies before long.

I'm not especially convinced we need to write off the USA as an ally. Trump is 79, and only has two years and nine months left of his final term. I don't forsee Trumpism outlasting him for very long.

@Landeur I agree with you. Someone needed to wake Europe up! My fear is if democrats aka communists win the 28 elections they reverse everything good that comes out of this.

NATO was basically the American Empire, you just don't realise it yet. Yes, we got cheap security in return, but Europe has to stand on its own two feet. In fact, I think America leaving NATO is Europe's fastest route to remilitarisation and remigration.
