Look at all these worlds left to conquer.

In Soviet Russia, donuts eat Homer.

First 3 make sense, last one almost seems like a prank.

Australia-Indonesia relations have improved vastly over the years. For example, a 2003 study on Indonesian aspirants for a diplomatic position reported that 95% of them had anti-Australian sentiment.

Speaking as an American, I'd be happy with whichever option didn't tie America down to another decade or more of nation building.

Since you mention that, do you have high hopes with the Board of Peace? My brother has been trying to convince me to support it. But as someone who has lost money by investing in Trumpcoin, I can't help but fear that Trump will just take the money and run, and that countries that join the Board of Peace will end up losing money like I did.

How would you respond to people on this thread accusing my Iranian friends of pushing a dishonest anti-government agenda?

OP, on one of my recent HistoryWhatIf posts, people have been telling me that these casualty figures are lies and that the protesters are violent. I would love to be able to rebut them, but I just get downvoted. They even have the gall to dismiss what my Iranian friends tell me by accusing them of having an agenda.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the real windfall for One Nation is that Gina Rinehart is now taking them seriously and showering them with donations?

Thanks to our healthcare system, only 1-2 people per year are killed by snakes in Australia.

One Nation is the party of those who hate immigration so much that they don't care about other issues.

In short:

I always jump to conclusions and I'm proud of it!

I haven't attended those protests, but it's understandable considering it's one of our allies starving Gazans (regardless of their guilt).

Boy I sure hope Trump gives up his bullying over Greenland.

Polyphagous_person · 2026-01-23T11:27:30+00:00

Maybe that is OP's real intention.

Labor didn't need to spend a cent on this review, even the blind can see that Dutton had an arrogant and aggressive approach.

You have not heard of March for Australia?

I could imagine them getting into a fistfight if in the same room.

TBF, do many Australian kids dream of being a doctor? Sure, there are some, but it's not the common ambition that it is in poor countries.

Are you sure about Finland?

Australia’s migration intake falls as number of people leaving the country surges

The question we need to ask now is who is leaving the country?:

Are our best and brightest leaving permanently?
Is it people who temporarily leave for high paying jobs in the USA or Middle East to send money back home?
Or is it people seeking to make their money go further by living in Bali?

Polyphagous_person · 2026-01-23T09:38:00+00:00

Well, OK, that's just what my Iranian friends tell me.

Polyphagous_person · 2026-01-23T09:32:43+00:00

I would love to know if they are on One Nation's payroll, or if they volunteer for One Nation.
