America wonders WHY even allies will never trust them?

Climate Catastrophe Yes it is - I wonder what took this farmer by surprise? This is only the beginning of the end game of course Options like building reservoirs, adopting regenerative farming practices, and using more drought-tolerant crop varieties - they're not going to save the day anymore

It's turning out that merely being the globe's farmer and miner isn't going to do Australia or Australians much good This country has never invested a lot in value-adding our raw products or diversifying our economy What happened to all the good intentions after COVID to develop self-reliance?

American military dominance and technology is not enough now to win wars - or support global dominance The world order is changing and we can already see economic shifts at play That should start making allies re-think alliances and defence strategies www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

How your party vote is hijacked before you even vote! Hijacked by factions and ideology IT NEARLY DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU WANT Vote for independent community representatives who value your vote and listen to you - and are directly accountable, to you open.substack.com/pub/suebarre...

The Economist: War is good apparently .. very, very good for business! While the world burns, tens of thousands of people dying of heat stress, drought, you'd think governments across the world would be announcing war on climate catastrophe Or voters would be out on the streets with pitchforks ..

You can go onto YouTube and find those clips that have random interviews asking Americans where different countries are in the world and get a cheap laugh at the stupid answers ... BUT this is another level entirely!

The illegal war in Iran is widening Iran is choking off the Strait of Hormuz, allies in Yemen choking off the Bab al-Mandab Strait and now it looks like Egypt is under duress by Iran which is a likely attempt to choke off the Suez Canal Is Albanese yet convinced to urgently accelerate renewables?

When it comes to national security, where does the threat REALLY come from? Here's a clue! The threat isn't IRAN or CHINA - it's the government's own corporate agenda / policy A policy that is NOT focused on an urgent economy-wide, accelerated transition to renewables 𝐎𝐈𝐋/𝐆𝐀𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐒 .. 𝐖𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄

It drags on because no-one in the global community is confronting America over its illegal war in Iran, even "allies" like Australia AND .. our own governments hold us hostage here by NOT urgently mandating an accelerated transition to a renewables economy Our national security's our own fault
