The involvement of the Anglo intelligence community is of much more crucial interest to the 3 letter agencies in the US, and hence their need to nearly completely submit Australia to the will of the US state to allow such facilities and operations to take place on their soil. Japan, while certainly a puppet regime, is not that far integrated into the western bloc's intelligence network as Australia is, and despite slow rollbacks to it, Japan was for a long time technically not allowed to field a large military itself, unlike Australia, which has historically been part of Five Eyes for 8 decades, and more recently AUKAS and Quad.

It's because they're the main "Western" country in the pacific that they can use as their frontline in a confrontation with China. This plus being part of the anglo intelligence community and it's no surprise that they're so much more of a puppet than most other western countries.
I feel the same sometimes, with everything shitty that life can throw your way. The way I see it, a lot of the time there is not much that I can really do about these things apart from occasionally finding time to distract myself with things I care about. Although it's less and less often these days.
They offer free food and beverages to the IDF, for one.
Well said. I'd leave issues regarding such values to be discussed by those actually living in that society, rather than impose my own differing ones on them and judge them that way. Chauvinist liberals love calling out Iran as "Islamist fundamentalists" or whatever when all that does is distract the fact that they do broadly represent the values of the people they lead and their actions are primarily weakening the empire, it's sort of the same thing but going the other way.
Listening to what Galloway has been saying in regards to pretty much every single imperialist aggression over the past few decades you cannot disagree that he's been consistently anti-imperialist throughout. If anything his more conservative cultural views are largely irrelevant as someone in the global south, since first and foremost what matters to us out here when looking at a politician in the core is their foreign policy, and so far Galloway has not missed. I feel here we are being too quick to discard someone purely for their cultural views, when anti-imperialism is supposed to be a unifier across all cultural lines.
Thank you, friend ❤️
Finally managed to find a home after having to precariously couch surf for nearly 3 weeks. Feels good to have proper internet again. How have things been going meanwhile?
Thank you comrade, its tough out here
Guess who just got an eviction notice. Death to landlords.
American moms have plenty worse to be worried about for their children.
