[Food for Thoth]

[bambu.]

I love nukes.
They're so intimidating, great for self defence.
Through sheer stupidity, Australia doesn't have any.
Australia's letting Britain test atomic bombs in the Outback in the 1950s without securing nuclear weapons for itself in return was totally dumb.
Even dumber was going around signing nuclear non proliferation treaties believing that would be wise for future self defence.
The rest of the world moved so fast... built nuke powered subs and warships bristling with latest weaponry...while Australia believed that "every one in the world is a lovely person", "and every country loves us and is our friend"...and virtually saw no reason to adequately arm itself.
Crazy thinking, given history.
Australia has...one...working submarine.
Ships incapable of fighting a war against anyone.

US election today...experts predicted on my tv news tonite that "Kamala is expected to disengage from our (Australia) region if she becomes President".

Donald also, probably, after what Albo said in 2017 he thinks of him.

Things were great when the Trump White House held a State Dinner for ScoMo, his lovely wife 'nurse Jenny', and Australia.
The band played, and the choir sang "Waltzing Matilda".

I was so happy.
Next minute my happiness turned to horror...as Americans voted Trump out of office, foolish Australians voted ScoMo out of office, and State Dinner love turned sour.

Guy Fawkes yourselves!

I have a billabong picked out to jump into when the invasion comes.
"You'll never take me alive, said he".
Until then it's eat, drink and be merry.

First election I have missed, due to outside issues. I hope Kamala does not lose by one vote.

Do not risk it. Jump now.

It will be fine, Luee.

Incidentally, you have lost your right to bitch about the government for the next two years however things turn out.

[luee]

Just the facts. Guess she cant say had to go along with my senile boss right or wrong?

You had weeks to do a mail in vote.  If you were disabled and couldn't go to the polls, mail was your best option.  Since you found an excuse to not bother, you can shut up for the next 4 years.  You weren't part of the most fundamental process of democracy, so you don't get to gripe about any results.

You are a good Influencer on the World Wide Web, Bambu. And you represent Australia well on the Web.

When I was a child in Oregon in Elementary School our Teachers had classrooms with only 30 students, and they spent 9 months per year teaching 30 students. Now we can reach way more than 30 people on the Web, and we can influence people.

Marli Buccola, and Mahlagha Jaberi, influence millions of people, and Electra Mustaine, and others.

And if you can change how people think and feel then you can change how they behave. Education, and Films and Television Shows, and Poetry, and Influencers on the Web, etc, all change how people behave. I bet I have reached a lot of people on the World Wide Web over the years.

The world is a pretty good place right now, we have the problems in Russia, and we have problems in the Middle East, but we have made a lot of progress. We can send Latin Prisoners to Lebanon and to Ukraine to help, etc, and we have Claudia Sheinbaum to help, etc, and we have President Petro of Colombia, etc.

We will see how the Election turns out. I hope Trump does not try to start a Civil War.

Peace.

Salute,

Tony V.

Tied in Dixville Notch.  Once again, an insignificant village with a porn name manages to draw international attention!

[bambu.]

Trump wins.
Western civilisation really does need a tough guy in the White House at this time.
Thank you Americans.
Taiwan, Australia, Japan, Ukraine, Israel etc now have a better chance of survival.

USA, it was fun while it lasted.
