Singapore AirshowOnce again there have been shocking developments regarding US support for Ukraine as it fights the Russian invasion. President Trump has given Ukraine an ultimatum that amounts to a surrender or lose his support. In the so-called peace proposal, Russia does not have to make any concessions. It is now obvious that President $Trump is for sale to the highest bidder – and it’s time Australian policy makers realised that. The first thing we should do is to provide more aid to Ukraine because despite talking about the rules based order in the last 12 months nothing has been donated to Kiev.

  1. Certainly doesn’t seem to be a lot of good news happening on Defence scene domestically. Looking for some positives in there.

    The seeming disdain for any Australian made equipment is incomprehensible to me.

    Any news on the return to service of the AOR’S at all? That all seems to be under the Defence cone of silence. Have seen some main stream news articles suggesting weapons upgrades to the Arafura class are on offer (someone has put some thought into it) but unlikely to be taken up.

    Trump – President for hire.

    Situation normal!
