Overseas News

A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules
  1. Follow the aussie.zone rules
  2. We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
  3. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  4. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

Of course they do. Just in time for Trump to be able to say he had a hand in making it happen.

It's an interesting point. Trump has campaigned on a peace platform and I'm seeing evidence of that even here among some niche Aussies, claiming Tromp'll stop the wars in 30 days.

But the truth is, even if Trump sincerely believed it, they're also ultimately a Zionist who supports the Zionist Regime's position in the Middle East and really has no interest in the Palestinian's wellbeing, let alone enough interest to compel the CIA into 'protecting national securuty'. Their platform contradicts their own values and their party position. The (probably few but real) pro-Palestine Muslim Trump backers who believed it will soon be disappointed.
