Comment on you are the democratically elected leader of a liberal democratic country which so far has had a good relationship with the US, how do you and your country survive 4 years of trump?

I’m actually very hopeful about his actions on Ukraine. He has paused new aid but has not pulled back already allocated aid they he very much could of. He has made multiple direct threats to Putin to come to the negotiation table or face sanctions and increased funding to Ukraine. He also got a very funny jab in by saying that the soviets helped america win ww2 (they spin it the other way and where very pissed about this).

He wants to drill baby drill which causes a problem of he wants low oil prices fur the purpose of appeasing the populous but expensive oil prices for the purpose of profit. He can have his cake and eat it to by sanctioning Russia drilling more oil domestically and in turn taking up a larger percentage of the global oil market.

I’m hopeful he will apply significant pressure to Putin and bring the war to an end. Even Putin said that he wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine if trump was president (he’s trying to suck up to trump lol).

Also as an Aussie we are pretty chill with our situation. Us and China hold a monopoly on rare earth minerals and u need em for ur tech and military. Hopefully trump tariffs China more than us so we can then sell our shit to u at a higher price than we where previously.

We do most of our trade with China (not good but its making our elites rich so what can u do) so economically USA won’t have that much impact. We survived 2008 pretty much unharmed and that’s far worse than anything trump can do.

We are probably gonna have the right wing party back in power at the next election so let’s hope they don’t follow in trumps footsteps.
