I see hope in countries starting to work together without the US - we'll see how it all goes!

This is the key right now.

You have those who are 'under the wing' of the US (australia included) but are more frequently finding themselves disagreeing with their views. But they are the big brother, so better to be on their right side.

Problem is their right side changes with the breeze as denmark (greenland) are finding out. So what is the benefit of staying aligned with them?

They bully the rest of the world into doing what they want....and we just go along with it.


I was listening to a podcast on 'appeasing Hitler' and giving into his demands (pre-war) and how the rest of the world essentially said, "Ok, lets just give him that and THEN he'll go away". But he would ask for something else.....and something else...Countries found it easier to go along with it rather than stand up to it....and eventually it was too late, and he got too powerful and then it was on.

Right now there is a lot of that going on with the US, but less obvious. Countries continue to turn a blind eye to their 'tactics' as its easier to not rock the boat. Eventually it may be too late to stand up to them. As bad as Trump is, there could always be someone worse.

The more we band against the US now, the better off the rest of the world may be later.

We’re veering away from Victorian and Australian governments 😢

What happens in the US affects us, and the rest of the world - and that’s why the Taco thread is generally buzzing.

Our governments’ actions may have negative outcomes but they won’t create another GFC or world war.  Those negative outcomes, or positive outcomes, aren’t globally significant but they’re important to us.  So let’s keep this thread for them and discuss Taco and global issues elsewhere.

The Victorian and Federal Governments appear untouchable despite fark up after fark up.
Locally I'd like to think Wilson will give it a good shake leading up to November but once Labour start with the playing the man (or woman) muck raking  tactics, the Victoria public seem just lap it up.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

I know that senior Liberals don't give Wilson much chance, but is that more about the boys' club than reality?

History is on Wilson's side, no Premier that assumed the role after an election has won the next election.
