there is ZERO Chance War Criminal Netanyahu will send Israeli IDF soldiers to Iran that is for Stupid Americans

The #Pedoführer really believed Iran would be a 3 day cakewalk, and Americans would forget about the #EpsteinFiles and greet him with flowers. Well at least that's what Netanyahu told him.

"We need about a month to weaken the Iranians more with strikes, take the island and then get them by the balls and use it for negotiations," a source with knowledge of the White House thinking said.

I'm sorry but if -- after 2.5 years of non-stop genocide and attacks on global south nations, supported almost unanimously by USA+EU -- your main priority is still "securing our NATO and EU membership", then you're standing on the side of fascism in human history

Sentenced to 2 years in jail for putting tomato soup on glass, which took 10 seconds to wipe off. Not in Iran, in the UK.

I'm not surprised. Are you surprised? #war

Wake up sleepy Koala @albomp.bsky.social You snooze, we lose. #auspol

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are. The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war. We always find the money for war. But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

I may be wrong, but the para below, buried towards the end of the article, is perhaps the *only* reference in Australian mainstream media to the potentially unfolding genocide in Lebanon. No surprise from a media who can't even bring themselves to use the word "invasion" for Israel's actions.

The US has lost a whole bunch of aircraft in this war—around 16 at last count, including MQ-9 Reaper drones, KC-135 refueling tankers, and F-15E fighter jets, but the real headline-grabber is the fifth-generation F-35 Lightning II. www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/no-one-tol...

De Niro: It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent—no one, no one voted for new wars. No one voted for higher prices at the pump. No one voted for higher prices in grocery stores, and no one voted for government-masked thugs shooting down our citizens in the streets.

Could the media stop with this bullshit? CPI adjustments to poverty payments are not a "cash boost" and it's a disgusting insult to say so. Try listening to people forced to live below the poverty line for a change instead of regurgitating Labor spin. (Fixed it for you, btw.)

New article looking at how old left parties became right-wing parties, and what it means for new left politicians like Zack Polanski and Zohran Mamdani. Enjoy! timgoodacre.wordpress.com/2026/03/09/h...

Utterly sick of Australian politicians of any description, but particularly the Prime Minister and state Premiers, complicitly supporting Israel’s atrocity, barbarism and crimes against humanity, and then rocking up to a mosque for photo ops and brownie points. Get utterly fucked

Thoughts and prayers.

It is objectively extraordinary to see Israel literally invading Lebanon to permanently occupy it, with no complaint or even remark from the rest of the world. The pretext is as thin as Russia's for Ukraine.

I have to ask, 100s of Arab journalists were deliberately targeted and killed by Zionists for refusing to spread Hasbara Propaganda What makes white, Western journalists any safer from Zionists targets?

The fuel crisis punishes welfare recipients in ludicrous ways Work for the Dole participants only get $10.40/week, which is supposed to cover fuel & travel Many thousands of poor people are forced to use their limited income on fuel to attend useless job agency bullshit

Begs the question: what are they planning?

Want to stop worrying about petrol prices? Here you go….

Thank god for Bibi and his faithful soldier Albo

Also 'not a participant' when the defence minister has already confirmed intelligence gathered by Australia's Wedgetail aircraft can be accessed by the US.

Which is a bupkis justification because the US's own intelligence confirmed Iran was not re-builiding its nuclear capability after the strikes last year. US intelligence has already contradicted Trump's lies Iran was 'weeks' away from nuclear capability. But Australia continues to follow the line

Albanese now trying to backtrack on Australia's (ill-advised) jump to support the US/Israel bombing of Iran: “The objectives of denying Iran the opportunity to have a development of a nuclear weapon have been secured. So that was objective No. 1."

2. In terms of the exegesis of parsing multiple authors of Trump's posts, this one offers a clear Rosetta Stone template, with the "What Is South Pars?" Vox explainer that opens it clearly written by an aide with relevant knowledge; and the unhinged ranting that follows the ALL CAPS by Trump. 2/End

“I Wargamed Iran for Obama. This Is the Worst-Case Scenario” Absolute must-read on the 5 lessons from wargaming that former US official ⁦‪Ilan Goldenberg‬⁩ learned that Trump hasn’t.

Israel wants to turn Lebanon and Iran into Gaza. The world cannot allow this. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Israeli government is now doing to southern Lebanon what it has done to Gaza. Horror and death on an unimaginable scale. And still our governments supply weapons, intelligence and diplomatic support. #PartyToTheCrime

Iran has been systematically taking out every US radar site in the Middle East. So what does our genius PM do? He sends an E-7A Wedgetail early warning and control aircraft right into a free-fire zone. As the US and Israel's eyes and ears, the E-7A is Iran's highest priority target. #Auspol
