OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[hindy111]

And yet USA citizens have managed to vote for this egotistical, self appraised, pussy grabbing, convicted felon and likely pedophile twice now. And while I totally agree that the Iranian government is a fanatical religiously based, cruel and unjust regime, that needs to be destroyed, I also can see that Trump is doing this for all the wrong reasons. The Epstein files being the main issue. Will USA citizens forget all his misdemeanors because of this one thing? IMVHO, just as the Canadian PM has stood up to this bully, so to should the rest of the world, unite against this tyrant. His motto is of course might equals right. The world's middle powers can show him otherwise.

That's more just a personal choice and has nothing to do with ones intellectual capacity.

Donald to the rescue

We have gone from yesterday the Australian Government saying no special treatment for the Iran soccer team.

To Donald basically calling for Albo to save them.

If you read actual sources (rather than social media) you'll see that the moves toward asylum for the five who wanted it were already underway and approved (just not announced) before f**kwit Donald took his phone to the toilet and started his random posting...

Nonsense & complete rubbish i have followed this story for 48 hours and was going to post before i went to bed last night but didn't get around to it.

Wish i did now

As of yesterday 10pm last night the government had made no statement or intended to grant anyone from the team asylum.

The fact the Australian Government had a full 24-48 hours to get on the front foot and the only the commentary was from Matt Thistlewaite & Penny Wong both talking about no Prefenential treatment to any of the Irani soccer players.

Which then gave Donald the opportunity to go on twitter to demand action last night just shows how reactive this current government is.

Poor Albo would have needed a electric shock to get into action at 2am this morning to get on the phone to Trump and assure him everything was under control.

Some things aren't political, Libs v Labour....the situation with the Iranian ladies side is pretty sensitive.

It's not as simple as Albo announcing his position in the media. It's an extremely complex situation! There are potential internal security risks that need assessment. And also a life and death situation, with the players families at risk of execution back in Iran. It's got to be handle carefully to ensure a positive/safe outcome.

Trump didn't have to get involved, there were always plans in place by the government:

"Revealing that the government had been in secret talks with the players for days."

‘Aussie, Aussie, Aussie’: Cheers after five Iranian players granted asylum after escape

News of the escape prompted US President Donald Trump to intervene overnight, first by demanding on social media that Australia give the women asylum, and then by speaking with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

www.smh.com.au

Burke in his press conference this morning even thanked the opposition shadow minister and the media, for keeping things quiet...

while here is the response from the shadow minister:

Duniam said he spoke to his counterpart, Tony Burke, a couple of times over the weekend and downplayed the role Donald Trump's phone call this morning had.

"I do know that the government were actively working on this for a number of days in relation to the pressures that these women were probably facing and what we as a country would think is right," he says.

"So I don’t think [Trump's] driven it. I think that despite the radio silence and the minister outlined why there wasn’t a running commentary on this, and I think it is reasonable."

No worries, you keep on believing Trump's Truth Social posts as the only source of your truth...

Exactly, and even Trump's later posts that Albo has it under control allude to the fact that things were in progress before Trump even bothered.

Real leaders don't do things live via social media.

And people with intelligence don't make the type of forum posts like the one we've been quoting and responding too.

Yet previously, asylum seekers were just annoying "illegals" and not worth his attention. Amazing how things change when merkins think they can gain some political purchase.

Except by the time he'd tweeted that, the government had already made arrangements for the five and implemented them.

Maybe it wasn't considered a good Idea to give their minders a heads up before securing them.

How a daring escape by Iranian soccer players secured their asylum in Australia

Australian officials waited on the sidelines of the Iranian football team's final game in the Gold Coast on Sunday, signalling to players help was available if they wanted to talk. The government has granted asylum to five athletes who escaped from their hotel with assistance from Australian...

But fortunately smart enough not to advertise anything that might have put them in danger.

That's more just a personal choice and has nothing to do with ones intellectual capacity.

If someone makes a "personal choice" to jump off the gap, imho it certainly does reflect on his mentality.
