We have been weaponised to believe war with Russia and China is inevitableWhether it's Russia's war with the West or the China-US crisis in Taiwan, there is a growing acceptance of the fact a major war is the new reality and that a nuclear war is the next possibility. Meaning the end off the world. Once nuclear Fox News deals in Kremlin propaganda. So why not freeze Rupert Murdoch’s assets? The Murdoch warmongerers are at it again 🤦‍♂️

The conversation we need to have about China, the US and AustraliaOur biggest customer is now also viewed as our biggest threat and China's muscle-flexing around Taiwan last week only strengthened the view that a war involving Taiwan is a genuine possibility. But where does that leave Australia and what does it mean to be a US ally, asks John Lyons. yes . it is about time to gather around the table and sort this out. never been more important to set the boundaries. include russia and north korea in the dialogue. it's up to our top level diplomats to achieve a solution. Absolutely. The conversation we need to have about the US and Australia. A big wake up call is needed. AUKUS is a disaster. The conversation I want is peace. War is NOT inevitable if we have the right leaders to talk. The chinese and US are both guilty of poking eachother and all that does is cause tensions.
