This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Penny Wong on #Insiders so desperate not to say anything to offend the mad orange King. It's BS that Australia 'can't say' if this new war on Iran is illegal. It is both illegal according to international law and US Constitutional law, or are we working things out based on vibes now 🤯 #auspol
Urgent message to @senatorwong.bsky.social: If you host US bases from which aggression against a third party is being perpetrated or controlled, you are not a 'non-participant'. Likewise if your country has crew in a US vessel which sinks another on the high seas.
Bizarre way to go, but the pressure told.
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!
'I can confirm also though that no Australian personnel have participated in any offensive action against Iran,' says @albomp.bsky.social.
So sinking a vessel on the high seas isn't an 'offensive action'? What world is our fuckwit PM living in?
How long will the Guardian go on calling the Middle East War a 'crisis'? Was the German occupation of France a 'crisis'? Pearl Harbor? The fall of Singapore? Call it for what it is, you lily-livered editors!
Putting the record straight Mr tRump.
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
Furthermore, @albomp.bsky.social @MarkJCarney, why are you willfully ignoring this finding by the International Atomic Energy Agency?
Australia is little more than a vassal state of America, raped of its resources by a cabal of rapacious US multinationals.
We could be a democratic socialist nation, like Scandinavians, who put their domestic population ahead of unfettered capitalism…but we need new breed of politicians

Single frame. Karoline Leavitt on the press briefing lectern with a US flag and a large “chocolate wheel” with coloured panels showing: “REGIME CHANGE -YAY!; THEY’RE TERRORISTS!; THEY HAVE NUKES!; THEY DOT HAVE NUKES YET; WE WANT TO REPLACE THE LEADER; WE KILLED THE REPLACEMENTS; ARMAGEDDON!!!; PRE-EMPTIVE SELF-DEFENCE; BIBI IS OUR FRIEND; (SOME SCHOOLGIRLS MAY HAVE DIED); WHAT OIL?!; MID-TERMS - YIKES!” Leavitt says, “Next question?”
Spin.

Instead of tucking their knees under boardroom tables of wealthy Zionist lobbyists, it’d be prudent for @albomp.bsky.social
@tonyburkemp.bsky.social
@senatorwong.bsky.social to recalibrate their perspective re pariah state of Israel & its posse of propagandists

When is a war not a war? When I wage war, at will, without declaring it. Any retaliation against my aggression is unprovoked aggression. I am always innocent, honestly seeking peace, especially when I'm carpet-bombing someone else's country. Oh, and bring on Armageddon. #USwarmongering
Is Trump’s war on Iran legal? That’s up to the US and Israel to decide and they have a great track record on these things

Cut-price Costello Tim Wilson on Sky just now: "It’s very clear to me that when there’s an increase in petrol prices, Jim Chalmers collects more excise revenue."
Excise is not based on price changes. It's indexed twice a year in line with inflation.
Look - Canberra is more expensive in general than other jurisdictions, but choosing to have your 'cost of living crisis press conference' in one of the most expensive suburbs in Canberra,where the median house price is $2.1m and luxury cars are parked all around you is maybe not the greatest optics
"No one appears to have asked the critical question whether the criticism and outpouring of protest over what Israel has wrought in Gaza might be directly related to what Israel has been doing. It hasn’t been antisemitic, but anti-Israel."

Except that Albanese was spouting that ludicrous line last night as well. 'All the Way with LBJ' has become 'Into the Sump with Donald Trump'.
Only the United States could bomb a country, kill its leader, massacre its children, declare the intention to destroy its military and topple its government, and then call that country’s retaliation against US military bases “unprovoked”.

And Kirk is the Horst Wessel of the Trump Nazi regime.
Single frame. Trump and Netanyahu side by side with nuclear bombs strapped to them. Trump says, “We can’t afford to let Iran have nuclear weapons.”
Nukes.
My @smh @theage cartoon.
The first time I visited Washington I was reminded of Republican Rome. Now it's like Berlin in 1938.
Now he has the extra gall to criticize Iran for indiscriminately targeting civilians. Seriously. For a ‘historian’ he has a funny way of acknowledging very very recent history. Namely Israeli mass murder in Gaza and the West Bank. Lack of self awareness seems to be a necessary trait here. #ABC730
Remember this, @albomp.bsky.social

And of course, for the ICC it's all about the markets. Never mind the cricket, feel the markets.
I've flown over them mountains. They are seriously impressive. We're talking a Vietnam-scale morass here.
