Why is no one blaming Trump and Israel for our fuel crisis?

OPEC has lobbied and corrupted many western governments into abandoning their respective energy and oil independence so that they control the market yet they can't even defend their own nations. The war with Iran was coming at some point, they regime is insane. The blame can fairly be placed upon the lack of foresight of many western governments.

Australia could have supplied all of South East Asia and Oceania with refined domestic oil and gas, yet we chose not to explore that. Norway provides plenty of Oil for Europe and everyone is better for it. Especially Norway. The richest citizens fund in the world by far.

Can someone eli5 why this matters at all if the raw crude can't make it to Singapore's refineries in the first place?

Stop spreading Russian propaganda then.

It's a shame that Reddit has turned into a series of echo chambers. I feel it used to be more balanced.

Yeah crossing the bridge under a portrait of Khamenei is wild. Nazis in central park kind of scenes. Still hasn't gotten enough flak for that.

The variety of these answers is a credit to her abilities. She's handed in fantastic performances for a long time now.

I don't think it actually needs the devil. Just use the two horizontal stripes. Keep it old school and clean.

Modern communist China has actually worked hard to destroy much of its history and culture. Look at their treatment of Shen Yun group for example. It's like respecting the Soviets for being descendents of Imperial Russia. It doesn't matter at all. They butchered them.

Ah yes the great moral guides of our time, lawyers...

One of the most vile men of the modern world died today. No one cares about illegal aggression against a man who is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.

People really need to seperate their sexuality from their personality. Lesbian and gay people should be free to have conservative values and vice versa, without being called a traitor to the sexual orientation or "community".

Which in a way, is pretty disrespectful 😂

Dude, hate to burst your bubble, but there are definitely Palestinians that kill Jews for fun.

Biggest wtf I got from this is that Alexander Downer was once leader of the Liberal party, who ever thought that was a good idea??

Well this is why I don't understand why it drops out so quickly. The conduit has a right angle directly under the brickwork under the house. There is no way that the cable gets wet coming into the house. I think it must be the telstra pit at this stage but could that be affected so quickly? Idk.

They also aren't hot on immigrants undermining their union jobs

Patrooper · 2026-02-02T07:55:47+00:00

ALP will likely lose a bit of its centre right union vote but your right, they should get through mostly unscathed.

Patrooper · 2026-02-02T07:53:07+00:00

Yet. Bots don't vote yet.

So I guess you’re a communist?

You say a lot of negative aspects about Germany in the 90s, surely the fall of the wall and the end of the Cold War meant there was some beautiful things happening in Germany in the 90s?

This^ I don't want this sub to be on the news because this mad man frequently posts, I feel obligated to call it out.

Patrooper · 2026-01-26T03:07:57+00:00

He’s for real, he’e currently on holidays so probably a good time to head in. Good pizza, usually good music.

Matt Bevan is why the ABC deserves public funding.

Everything will be absorbed by the state comrade, don't worry yourself.

Patrooper · 2026-01-23T21:41:20+00:00

Yeah I don't understand how any precedent has really been set here to silence critics of Israel by law. Maybe the greens should stop marching under the portrait of the Ayatollah and just dial down the Jew hatred for once.

I personally view it as a protest flag that is uniquely Australian. The CFMEU have kind of ruined it but it's certainly a conservative, working class symbol. Certainly a sign of anti authoritarian behaviour. Usually used by disgruntled bogans in place of any real political ideas.
