The USA is so broken it will never be repaired. And a reminder, Richard Marles believes we need to have even stronger defence ties with the USA because of our "shared values"

History didn’t begin on October 7! Years of crimes. Years of plunder. Years of captivity. All done by Israel. Operation Al Aqsa Flood brought the dream of Palestine back to life, and exposed you to the world for what you are... Free Palestine 🇵🇸✊
