When Luxon says we’ve improved our standing — he means amongst the reactionary ruling class he is a part of. Everyone else thinks it sucks but Luxon intentionally isn’t talking about them.

I believe that he’s right AND wrong. Luxon doesn’t care what ordinary people — those he calls “bottom feeders” — think. In their eyes nz is trending worse, 100%. But in the eyes of the ruling capitalist class: they love the far right MAGA idpol swerve of the Luxon govt. It makes them money.

New Zealand here is suffering under the old tired lacking leadership of Winston Peters, who is a Vassal of Trump and MAGA in nz, willing to compketely sell us out to the very worst of American imperialist interests: an invasion and war of aggression. Only reason this war exists is due to racism.

Iran has a right to defend itself. That absolutely includes any military outpost anywhere in the world that hosts the attacking USA. This “statement” is raw imperialism, pure and simple. The US is clearly in the wrong and should withdraw from the war if they don’t like Iran’s defense.

The NACTNZF coalition govt (especially the three leaders themselves) have expended considerable effort to align NZ with Trump’s foreign policy. Winston basically worships Trump. I wouldn’t expect anything from them.

This is one of those horrors where I would really like to see Aotearoa and other countries stepping up to condemn this. Livestreaming military executions is so far outside the bounds of acceptable conduct for countries in shared military alliances. It warrants public comment from Peters or Luxon.

Fort Hood shooter’s execution will be live-streamed, Defense Dept. says
“We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday about the firing squad execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan.

It’s mostly climate resilience funding tbh. Biggest threat we face by far, that our military will have to deal with, is rapidly increasing climate disasters. So… these do look like they’d do well in a storm / flood? Do we need that many? 🤔

Interesting policy from a party that’s apparently pretty comfortable doing nothing on climate change. So my taxes will go to subsidising the group that creates 53% of our emissions? Really? #nzpol

I mean, why stop at just one type of crime? If there’s no jobs (there isn’t) then what choice does it leave you, if your benefit is cancelled? Cynically, I think National know this, and want more people in prison — where they can’t vote — due to this govt’s vote suppression. #nzpol

Like any kingmaker they would absolutely consider either party, but have you seen the bottom lines they’ve set out? Not exactly compatible with National… That said, this National govt has behaved like an empty vessel for their coalition partners to fill. Could see this happen with TOP too.

A UN-backed fact-finding mission found reasonable grounds to believe the United States committed war crimes in strikes in Iran, including the attack on the elementary school in Minab. That is a grave investigative finding, although it is not a criminal conviction.
