And we wake up to news that Albo ‘failed’ to secure a meeting with Trump . Albo hasn’t ‘failed’ - he’s right in there with Canada, France , UK at the UN
The meeting was never set in stone - it was mostly driven by media who think there should be a meeting. Trump not meeting Albanese actually saves Albanese from humiliation. There is nothing to be gained at that meeting, absolutely nothing. We are never getting the submarines, Aukus is a terrible deal for Australia (although great for the US who are getting money and resources from us to build their own submarines) and it is beyond time Australia started considering what self-directed sovereignty actually looks like Ax
I agree. Albanese knows there isn’t anything to gain by wasting time with the orange one.
It’s so sad, the world today.
Sadness links with the mood of people who are under 35 years of age. Recently I’ve been confronted by the anxiety of young men who helped me. I’m more than twice their age. I was part of the 70s where we made love, not war. We believed in traveling the world, the counter culture, breaking away from the thin lipped middle class of suburban Australia.
These young men are frightened by the lack of certainty in their futures. One was visually fearful of Trump’s mania. Was there another president like him? Is he an aberration? No, replied I. Previous American presidents have been grifters, like Trump, especially a nineteenth century one called McKinney or McKinley. He was reassured by that piece of news until I said, “But the world is global now. Trump’s measure of damage reaches further. “
The other was able to address the spiritual problem of despair. There he is with a big hecs debt for research he ought to be paid for, a scholar and a philosopher who is concerned about Australia’s struggling foreign policy agenda.
Albanese doesn’t need to have a cup of tea with Trump.
The Emperors New Clothes seems to fit this situation well the vain emperor, working out who all the con-men are that orchestrated suppling him with the magnificent clothes should not be that hard. Hans Christian Andersen would be so happy to see his fairy tail come true many times over.
