Delusion is a helluva drug...until it gets you killed.

Found the AUKUS commercials during the NCAA Tournament broadcasts quite odd. Neither a Navy recruitment spot (as we've seen with prior ads showing subs) nor a pitch for defense-contractor equities (the commercial's sponsor is a non-profit), perhaps, the idea was to socialize the alliance's name to an American public who'll soon be hearing more about it in the news. Who knows?

Speaking of "meddling" the Philippines gov't is getting a dose of this now with the Chinese over territorial disputes that are escalating.

Further, as suggested "social decline" in the US has caused others' to challenge our place in the world order.

Last, I'm sure the planned sale of these nuclear submarines was with the intent described in the blog as a counter to China aggression. Further, I'm sure the Australian gov't leaders who were in place at the time knew of this too. The "saying out loud now" part shared now by Campbell opens the door further to view AUS and NZ as hostile.

Now get some rest Mark. too much pivoting.

Crazy! And then don't forget, they forced Pine Gap, I think, on Australia. I think they got rid of a Prime Minister that objected to that base.
