Bro wtf is your display photo 😂

Ali where do you get your info from? Which news sources, YouTube, authors do you follow/read? I want to be learned
Dob WoLF
Update, abit rich calling Taiwan a shitty country, Ali.
Dob WoLF
Ali, you should not have prefaced that people would be unhappy with your opinion on Ukraine. I get your point, you were right that Ukraine had an out but they didn't take it. I would say you were right that given the potential of having Trump gets in, Ukraine exhausted their luck. However, as a person who have families in Taiwan, you are asking an impossible task for Ukraine given the war crimes documented. It is way more sobering with the notion that Trump is just this disgusting with his self serving interests that they would let their allies be in such dire state.

Great pod 👌 always love a good shawarma

Ali sounds like an aspiring newscorp intern when it comes to auspol these days
Dean
How many F-35s do we actually have?
Dean
Look - listening to The Rest Is Politics podcast just today, I am hopeful that Europe will stand up and, unlike Ali (who thinks that Europe will never stand up in defiance of America) I think they will be come the bulwark for the Western World. Personally, I think America is fucked. If they unleash a trade war, they will lose and they will hurt American industries that rely on exports to flourish and stay profitable. Trump will isolate America for a generation.
Bryan
That's a bit depressing to hear (coming from someone a bit younger). I hold onto the tiny hope that in the chaos of the near future there will be enough sense to change direction long term, not to simply return to status quo.

Ali, I would also add that if china and america had it out in the south China sea. China coming to subjugate with their military would depend on their naval loses. We still have decent capabilities for small population. Our fleet of F-35s equiped with LRASM could potentially thwart any invasion of the main land. Amphibious assaults are a hard thing to accomplish.

I'm 51. I don't think I can think of a time where I've had such a feeling of dread about the state of the world. I came of age during Gulf War 1 and watched the geopolitical bullshit that rolled on throughout the 90's, culminating in 9/11. Even then, while it was history making, you had the sense that the West would rally and things would balance out (Gulf War - The Sequel notwithstanding). I feel for the first time that the established order is collapsing. The world is spinning of its axis and the unknowns far outweigh the knowns. Trump is a fucking psychopath.

This week's topic: "We're all screwed"

I don't completely agree with your thoughts on this Ali but because there's already some negative comments on it I'll leave a nice one instead You're incredibly well read and whenever you get a lot of uninterrupted time on the pod like this it shows. I disagree with some aspects of things but as always your commentary is extremely insightful.
FledglingErection
I guess the same concept applies to Indigenous Australians, then? Ali being the Grim Man of History here EDIT: Sorry Ali, you're not at all wrong, just some heavy truths. Thanks for paying attention and sorting the wheat from the chaff, you really distil the events into coherent narratives.

The next phase of the war is occupation and then Ukraine just does want the Taliban did in Afghanistan for 20 years.
Andrew Stanley
Trump only cares about himself he doesn't care about ending the war other then he can claim victory.
Andrew Stanley
Weak suffer when everyone else does nothing. So lets not do nothing. Such a defeatist attitude bro. Is that a commie all or nothing view of the world or what ?
Andrew Stanley
Ukraine gets to decide to join the Western camp because it's a Sovereign Nation. Every other Country be damed. Sphere of influence isn't a straight translation of we own you, it can be but it isn't. Case in point Canada and USA with the tariffs, USA sphere of influence but Canada still said fuck you.
Andrew Stanley
Biden backed Ukraine; it was Republicans in Congress being Russian assets that prevented Military aid from going to Ukraine.
Andrew Stanley
Trump was wrong, you're crazy. His cards are Ukraine is a sovereign Nation and shouldn't have been invaded by Russia. The military Aid from the USA has been blocked by Republicans via Congress. SO it;s survived on sweet fuck all for 7 months. Ali your view is just Anti USA and is coloured by that. Yes USA has let Ukraine down but not in a catfishing sort of way. Ukraine didn't sign the peace deal 1 year in because they wanted Russia out of Ukraine and Russia wouldn't do that.

It's one thing to false flag during a war but once the war is over...its like falling into a wolves den, only to be saved by a bear, but when you get out and stand at the entrance throwing rocks at the wolves
Darien M
They're like that by design, make no mistake the Germans are still the best engineers on earth, they learnt their lesson from the early days of VW when the Kombi and Beatle nearly sent them bankrupt by creating products they out lasted and were cheaper than their competitors but weren't as exciting/innovative...I like to call it the Toshiba effect
Mick
Covid in 2025? Grow up cunt
Darien M
Honestly we pay the man's wage the least he could do is take our shit 😂
Bryan
When Mislav doesn't upload the audio at all because he is arguing with nerds about how unjustifiably smug they are 😑. (I'm sorry for being smug Mislav)
Andrew Stanley
Bro, it wasn't an economist that told the Australian Government we were only good at digging and shipping; that was set up by the British that did that when they set up colonies to suck out wealth.
Andrew Stanley
But Ali Labor is trying to change the Australian economy, with Future made in Australia. You know this!
Hill Billy
Mislav talking about US politics feels like Yilmaz writing an essay on why 9/11 happened
Hedgethechu
Do you really think that America wouldn't protect its financial interest? So many wars over oil in the Middle East during this century protecting the financial interests of American companies but somehow this time it's different?
Patrick
You really think Ukraine would be the ones to reignite this war not Russia????
Big Daddy
Ali I love you so much I’ve been going insane watching everyone play into the military industrial complex, Thankyou for not being retarded. @everyone drinking the koolaid, this is the same machine that killed Gaddafi, the same machine that sent OUR AUSTRALIAN troops into Iraq to get WMD’s that never existed.
Big Daddy
We’re gunna trust the guys who blew up nordstream (Ukraine) not to false flag when trump gives a security guarantee? You guys would have all been screaming to invade Iraq to get the WMD’s
Viktor Pradley
I’ll go to Rockhampton for you mislav 👌
Darien M
It's probably Putin telling Trump he cant give them a security guarantee...I think Trump has this irrational fear of china and wants to pull the US out of all these other wars and conflicts to focus solely on china
Jack
Mercedes and the rest of the German brands have been making crap since the early 2000s. They are good cars until the warranty expires and then you start to see some alarming quality issues.
Patrick
I don't get Ali's point. It seems like at this stage Ukraine would give up land to Russia and minerals to the US for peace but WITH a security guarantee which Trump didn't seem willing to give (cause his a traitorous retard)
Darien M
Mislav, where do you ride from and where is the pod? What's the distance
Darien M
When Ali doesn't upload the video pod at the same time 😑
