Two big explanations: on AUKUSmadness and woke

 This paper by Richard Tanter is the most important paper in a generation on Australia’s strategic dilemma, in its presentation of facts about Australia’s embedment in US defence systems for war. Recommend it to your offsprung. But keep in mind the deeply flawed American inspired blindness, in castigating Putin going to war, to the illegal, horrendous and wicked war conduct of Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden in the Middle East … and Australian participation in all that. Also, he’s over the top on Russia and Ukraine, fed on a Washington diet

Second, the word woke crept up on me like a cliché from the deepest crevices down the page in the Guardian app.  Caitlin sorts it out.

And one more important link, from sensible Laura Tingle: The future is now, and dire predictions are coming true
