In this context the Australian people voted for an administration that would no longer "co-operate" with the USA's geopolitical aims, they "bucked"/rejected the agenda. The USA responded by pressing those in power to create a constitutional crisis and replace the administration.

I guess my point is that America doesn't engage in the same tactics as China does in regards to Taiwan, or that hemisphere, probably because of distance. The USA favors regime change over making a new colony.

That would be dumb. Taiwan is a better asset if they have an independent government that's on the same page geopolitically. Australia bucked the USA's geopolitical agenda, and they got couped.

Wild how these protests erodes support for Palestine while also hurting Kamala because it garners support for Palestine.

Why do you think their protest is actually changing hearts and minds?

Why do we separate the two? Who does that serve?

Not for men? If they could figure out how to sell them discretely at his rallies they would be the largest market!
