Far more right wing than Trump. Man of the Billionaire class. Who has now shunned the so called progressive left to crawl back under their rocks.
The man who is in the pockets of OIL, Defence Industry, and the multi national corporates. A globalist that Trump of course wasn't.
And the funniest thing of all, Biden will re-engage with the world. In particular, with Syria, Iran, and Libya and maybe a couple of others. And I am not talking about have tea parties either.
Back to the same old.
Biden was never, and will never be the champion of the working class. Only Trump proved to be and the only other who could have been was Bernie sanders.
So just accept you are all a bunch of goofballs!
Oh and you know what else? Turkey is getting its F-35s. What fuck ups you all are because with those F-35s, they are gonna be tipping the balance drastically to their favour. Idiots!
4 RAAF F-35s were doing laps over Canberra today. Low level over Parliament and the War memorial. You guys won't know what hit you.
please
Trump had erdo on speed dial...if it wasn't for Bolton and Pompeo he would've given erdo Ivanka by now let alone f35's.
Biden despises erdo.
Wrong! A complete misconception and Trump is to blame for giving you that misconception.
Trump said many times he admires leaders like Erdogan and Pootin. The radical left took that to mean that he was best pals with both and they went further to accuse him of colluding with Pootin.
When he said he admired them, he meant he admired the fact that they were good tough leaders for their country.
It may be true that he had Pootin and Erdo on speed dial. Doesn't mean he was getting along with either. And it was clear he wasn't getting along with either. Remember the F-35 embargo? Well you can kiss that good bye soon.
The leaders he had on speed dial as real friends were the leaders of UK, France, India, Japan, South Korea, and Australia.
He even had a run in with Australia in the early days which pissed off McCain who was the Leader of the US Senator Friends of Australia. Our PM and Trump were basically swearing at each other over the phone because Trump does not have good capable diplomacy skills. If he sees red, he goes right off. So shit escalated but it was quelled very quickly.
And along with the countries mentioned, it also had Israel on speed dial. The Isarelis do not like Erdo. And Trump listens.
Don't flatter yourself. When Trump starting yelling at the Australian pm your guy didn't say a word. He behaved like a lapdog and was waiting for someone from the US admin that was on the phone to save his ass. Australia is an insignificant country on these matters and wouldn't get away with yelling at a US prez. As for the rest of his buddies you listed he publicly stated he hated Theresa May, Hated Macron, and felt South Korea and Japan were nuisances that held his Northern Korean "love fest" back. Read Bolton's book for some clarity on the discussions had. As for Australia I doubt he was on speed dial....who needs Australia for anything??
He said plenty. But our guy is a seasoned politician and diplomat. He knows how to keep his head.
And he also won the argument because our guy had massive support from McCain.
The argument was over an agreement between our guy and Obama. The US was suppose to take all our illegal immigrants in detention centers. Australia has a policy that it will never allow illegals who have broken Australian Law.
So no he didn’t behave like a lapdog. When Trump won the election, I think our guy called to congratulate him and said btw, we have a bilateral agreement that IS is to take our illegals. Trump said “like hell” went on a massive rant and the hung up and it was all over the media.
Then Australia cancelled the Global Hawk contracts.
McCain lost it as did most GOP officials. Then, Trump calls and tells our guy they will abide by the agreement.
Then our guy gets knifed by Morrison who takes over and wins the election in a landslide.
Nee Zealand offered to step in and take them but our guy refused because NZ would not offer guarantees that they couldn’t come to Australia from the back door. The illegals are on a permanent ban list. Can’t ever come to Australia in their lifetimes. The US agreed with the conditions.
Australia isn’t insignificant but Trump did put his mouth in it and we really couldn’t care less. We were just worried about the agreement we had with the US which Trump threatened to tear up. We found that to be insulting and a problem for us because the illegals faced long term detention or even permanent detention unless they opted to return home. So it was a headache.
In the end, enough pressure was applied through our partners to get Trump to backtrack. McCain, a true friend of Australia was a key player. He was getting up in Congress and making a lot of noise - Australia is a 5 eyes partner. You know what that means don’t you? It’s the biggest surveillance and defence network in the world with a base in Cyprus at Agusi Nikolao, your very back yard and is spying on you and all the countries around you and linked to many facilities all over the world including Pine Gap.
McCain was a brilliant US Senator. Probably should have been POTUS.I guess that is the admin you are referring too. McCain was our ambassador. He had the support from the Bush family as well. Probably the support of the establishment GOP officials. He was outraged at the entire incident and our guy was invited to Washington to address Congress. Which he did and the red carpet was rolled out. It was a standing ovation.
When Morrison took over, he was invited by Trump to the WH for a State visit. It was a massive event, only 3 like it in the last 10 years. The previous being for Japan’s Shinzo Abe. A former work colleague who moved to Washington with their family was on the front lawns in front of the Rotunda because the Australian Embassy invited all citizens to the event. His son lost his tooth on those very lawns. There was a 21 gun salute.
OK... that's the final straw Paphitis!
