A layman’s view of reality

By Tim Dixon

Is anybody else frustrated? I am. Allow me to vent mine, in a rambling sort of way:

Yeah, OK… we are here… somehow, a US president of a right-wing variety has convinced his right-wing base that a communist Russian dictator is the way to go. Every president since the beginning of the Cold War who is no longer with us must be turning in their graves. And those who are with us; Bush, Clinton, Obama and a Biden – are they complicit due to incredibly weakness in allowing the Russian bear to roar. And roar. And keep roaring?

Back home, changing the subject for a while, Paul Keating pokes his head up every now and then, and says that Albanese is a dunce for staying in bed with the US, ie. AUKUS (a Morrison balls up) … is he somehow the only “man of steel” left on the geopolitical stage? The original “man of steel” – little Johnny Howard – HATED the communist state of Russia and Putin in particular… not a whisper, not a word from him.

I need to say this, as I feel it hasn’t been articulated enough… how can a complete moron (yep, I’m talking about Trump) front up to a press conference and be swooned upon from the attending press as a “leader” of men going into this next geopolitical landscape – that he has HIMSELF created – how is the US allowing this, how can people who must have shown some kind of political acumen to be even ELECTED allow this rubbish to continue?

Trump has no redeeming features, his MAGA cult have no redeeming features, unless hate, racism, sexism is your ilk. But here we are, and even in Australia we have an insipid Labor government, who can’t even go to the toilet without looking at the polls, supporting (evidenced by their lack of condemnation) the IDF ‘genocide’ in Gaza… AUKUS is somehow a wonderful way forward. A US government that is threatening almost all of its historical allies (beieve me, they’ll get to us eventually), and destroying hundreds of years of democratic parliamentary and constitutional and judicial practice.

It makes me laugh to read supposedly decent news sites, who every now and then MAY post something like “are we approaching a constitutional crisis” … for god sake … that ship sailed a month ago… so they then get all entangled about oh dear, “Trump has done this”, or “Trump threatens to do this”. What a load of bollocks. He’s already done it, and the US as we used to know it has gone. Not thinking of being gone, or “waiting” to see what Trump will do next. Forget it. It’s gone.

And the sad thing is that every media, every democrat in the house, still thinks it can be saved by using the same means that Trump has already burnt to the ground. The courts have been compromised, the Congress is owned by Trump and the GOP no longer exists.

If you are worried about what could happen going forward… it’s already too late… it’s already happening, and we’ve done nothing to stop it.
