All the way with Donald J. Albo supporting mass murder

Australia is killing people and threatening democracy. This is the reality of Anthony Albanese kissing Donald Trump’s ring this week, he writes Michael Pascoe.

Let’s be clear about this. If you support a criminal gang, supply it with weapons, keep silent about its crimes, either pay bribes or accept extortion, you are complicit in everything the thugs and hitmen do.

We are the ones represented by our government bowing down to Donald Trump.

When Trump puts massive economic pressure on Brazil because the judiciary of democracy (unlike the US) dealt with a coup attempt as it should, we support him.

When Trump threatens Brazilians with more unspecified suffering if they don’t vote for his preferred right-wing candidate, we support him.

We stand by Donald J, the mafia of the US administration, until the end.

When Trump orders the immediate execution of suspected smugglers in international waters on zero legal basis, we are on his side. When he leans on corporations for part of his actions, we approve. Heck, we join the conga line by offering a slice.

As a Trump client state, we have moved beyond simply being America’s Proxy Dawg in the South Pacific and become active supporters of Trump’s global shake-up.

The “rules-based international order” was always a mask for self-interest. Now this is a pathetic joke, a high absurdity, a dark irony. Just as Trump’s Supreme Court declared itself above the law, Trump declared the United States a pirate state beyond all law, able to exploit, extort, betray, turn, and kill at will.

Trump attacked the UN, countries are going to ‘hell’

I’m ready to kiss the ring

Local media, which have been demanding for months that the Australian Prime Minister have the opportunity to play the fool in the White House, were granted this week.

Shamefully, our major newspapers are reporting it as a good thing that Albanese will either bribe or willingly be blackmailed by Trump to curry favor with the lawless mafia, depending on your point of view.

Instead of supporting free trade and the rules-based international order, we are expected to act like sycophantic American corporations and “give” Trump a huge gift. Another billion dollars for America’s military capacity is just an appetizer.

More frustratingly, the reported main purpose of compromising whatever moral standing Australia may have once had was to keep the AUKUS nuclear-powered submarine treaty alive. By fixating on the American military’s strategic objectives, we are compromising ourselves to further compromise our military sovereignty. “Integration,” as the American cheerleaders in the domestic security and military game call it.

And it all fits with Paul Keating’s criticism that our governments continue to seek security from Asia when we should be seeking security from Asia.

Prime Minister prepares for critical talks with ‘unpredictable’ Trump

As mentioned earlier, contrary to the view of almost all Australian media, most of the world is not in the Trump or China camp. Most countries accept the failures of these two powers and try to move forward on an independent path.

Not Albanese’s ALP or whoever’s LNP. Having already surrendered our sovereignty by inviting and hosting American military and espionage bases, we are doubling down by financing the American military machine on a bipartisan basis and quietly endorsing Trump’s international abuses.

There’s no pride in it, just a stigma. By acting dishonestly, supporting a bullying criminal

Accessories for everything the unreliable, self-aggrandizing joke of a US president does.

This is Australia, us, you and me.

Albo and Donald’s meeting chaos. Why all the fuss?
