Australia's security abandoned to the folly of declining US empire - Michael West

Trump’s policy is to accommodate China and interfere in Western countries. Australia’s US shills are strangely silent.

How can #AUKUS be viable in this climate?

Is AUKUS the biggest cover-up in Australian history?
Both British and American officials are saying there are huge problems around their submarine construction programs. But Richard Marles refuses to even talk about AUKUS.

Walter Sofronoff took his fight to the Federal Court. The judgment was painstaking, and the outcome decisive: the finding of serious corrupt conduct stands, writes Andrew Fraser.

Federal Court dispatches Sofronoff empty-handed
The Federal Court has again shown itself to be a brutal arena for rebuilding reputations. In Justice Walter Sofronoff’s case, the court has backed the Integrity Commission’s conclusion of serious corrupt conduct.

Can someone please explain how #AUKUS works now that the TRUMP security strategy aligns the USA more with Russia than Europe ?

What I find hardest to believe about the last 10 years in the US is how an entire country of 350 million people has just stood there & allowed this utter madman to run amok, destroying its institutions, its civility, its global reputation. Has America no self-respect at all? 😲

The hydrogen bubble has burst.

Nearly 60 major low-carbon H₂ projects have been cancelled or paused — far more capacity than the world has actually built. The reason? Fundamentals still don’t add up:

• Demand isn’t there
• Costs remain high
• Infrastructure is missing

Even more US military assets coming to Australia. More US bases. More US weapons. Celebrating a dominant foreign government sending its military into our harbours and cities and taking multiple footholds here … it’s cringeworthy, tragic and wrong.

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.

We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.
