They have clearly already freely offered our resources.
Also clearly, their focus groups are not happy about it, so this drip feed of “considering” is the salve to make it seem like they didn’t pre-fold instantly.
Cubans are in the dark, literally. Trump’s fuel blockade has left thousands without electricity, and people are taking to the streets in protest. His response? He called it Cuba’s “last moments of life.” These are 11 million human beings, not a takeover target. 🕯️

Australians reject direct or indirect involvement in a war initiated by Israel and the US, backed by their Gulf allies.
What did they expect after striking Iran?
They started this war and now expect others to clean up the mess.

The U.S. military should be protecting their allies in the Middle East #USpol #auspol
Penny Wong deploying her considerable intellectual and political skills on #Insiders.
Unfortunately they are being put to a cause that does not promote peace common sense and our sovereignty.
We are being sucked into war and no amount of verbal gymnastics can hide this reality.
There's been a huge turnout this evening at an opposition rally - anti Orbán - in Hungary.
It's not even in Budapest. This is the city of Pécs, near the Croatian border, with a population of 140,000
Opinion polls for govt controlled media show Orbán ahead but all other polls show Tisza leading,
Damn.
The Australian government "is considering a request for military assistance from Gulf states targeted by Iranian attacks as the war in the Middle East enters its second week." ##auspol

One of the many costs in European and global security from the Iran war.
"American allies are watching in disbelief as the Pentagon reroutes weapon shipments to aid the Iran war, angry and scared that arms the U.S. demanded they buy will never reach them."

There's no way someone like John Lyons would be allowed on Insiders. Even the sniff of any criticism of Israel must be outlawed now.

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

Where has John Lyons gone?

So if the US knows Russia is supplying Iran with intelligence that helps it target the US, and the US knows that bombing Iran is increasing Russian oil sales and profits, one has to believe that someone in the US is in the pocket of Russia.
It would have to be someone pretty high up.
Here’s me in the Guardian today.
The Aukus submarine pact has dragged Australia into the Trump administration’s illegal war on Iran in all but name. This was all entirely forseeable.
KAROLIE says “it does not really matter” if Putin is helping Iran target Americans🤔
(H/T @atrupar.com )
The words of a real leader. A leader of courage and conviction. A leader who puts peace before craven compliance and subjugation of his nation to an illegal war and an autocratic warmongering US President.
Well done Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez!
President Macron is working with partners to keep the conflict from spreading.
Anthony Albanese is leaving it to his fascist friends in Washington and Tel Aviv to sort out the legal technicalities.
While refusing to tell the Australian public how far our bases and personnel are involved. #auspol
“The point is Gough Whitlam was a giant, a maverick. Albo is a political flea, an unprincipled flea at that, who represents the ‘roll back’ times begun by Reagan and Thatcher. He is a Thatcher, a Blair, a Bush, a Morrison, all in one.” - John Pilger.

This disgusting shambles is an accurate reflection of the compromised Albanese Labor Government.
I now feel the same level of revulsion & contempt for Albanese as I did for Morrison.
The damage they do - & then just 'walk away', post fuckery, to live 'happily ever after' - is unconscionable.
The arrogance of them, devoid of any compassion, empathy or grace let alone a fucking conscience.
It took two hours for Albanese to declare support for the latest US/Israeli war crimes.
How long has it taken the Labor Party to consider raising the rate? To halting fossil fuels? To seriously address the racism to First Nations and Muslims?
The ALP in your head is long dead.
as always, Laura digs deeper and asks the hard questions. Iran still has a lot of cards to play, and I suspect Trump will dump anyone at the side of the road if needed, even Netenyahu #auspol […]
These guys are in an echo chamber while drinking their own bath water. The only people they are listening to are the lobbyists in OUR HOUSE.
This @australianlabor.bsky.social is the most disappointing on record
#auspol #NotInMyName
So did the Australian Foreign Minister mislead parliament?
She said the submarine was under imminent attack.
Or was she lied to by an ally?
No war painted on the sails of the Opera House.
👇👇
Former Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull says the U.S. strike on Iran reflects “sovereign exceptionalism” the idea that international law applies to other nations but not the United States. He calls the attack a clear breach of the UN Charter and warns it erodes the rules-based order.
#InternationalLaw
The fuck kind of answer is this
The Foreign Minister @senatorwong.bsky.social lied in the senate yesterday when she claimed the Iranian vessel torpedoed by the US was "preparing to strike."
The ship that was sunk in the Indian Ocean was unarmed and full of training officers. The attack was a war crime.
Resign, Penny. #auspol
Albanese gaslighting again:
“it’s one of the big pluses behind the AUKUS arrangements, Australian personnel getting experience across a range of assets, including being onboard nuclear-powered submarines, but also the exchange that’s occurring across the board.”
Albanese has now admitted that Australians were onboard the US nuclear sub that sank an Iranian vessel and left the crew to drown, in a violation of international law. This was always an inevitability of AUKUS. End AUKUS now.
