Other people would say Milley was brave by calling out trump's rhetoric in order to reduce tensions. trump often treads a very fine wire putting the US at risk. In any case I'm sure they would take legal action if they really though Milley is a traitor, but as usual with MAGA just nasty personal attacks based upon political differences. IMO it's trump who is the bullying coward.

I have posted in the Country Australia topic a number of occasions and from time to time in Thai related issues. . Regards my interest in USA, it's currently the most powerful country in the world. Unfortunately has influence globally including supporting a number of right of centre "leaders" by trump & co. Some politicians in Oz support him. Personally I loath MAGA supporters & the trump influence as very negative for Oz and globally. However, to be brief it's none of your business why i post anti trump content, don't like it, ignore.

What happens at Presidential level often influences Australian politics and business as it does with other countries around the world. trump ideology source is paleo conservatism, whether he personally understands I doubt, but look it up for some insight.

Obama earned millions from his book.

Read the forum rules. BTW article originated in the US.

Not so sure ex military officers are paid well enough for 24 security. However, trump is most definitely wealthy enough to pay for his and family security. Never did when family were on business trips during first Administration or in the US, nor will he do do this time around. Also trump begs MAGA world to pay for this legal costs - has trump ever dipped into his own funds for legal costs incurred due to his actions whilst President or ex President?

More likely his parents will pay compo, negotiated by police, to the family - no jail time.

Since when do you get current security briefings from US intelligence agencies?

Yet more ugly spiteful action by trump world with plenty more coming to make "MAGA" meaningless. Political observers from both sides of the aisle didn’t hold back unloading on President Donald Trump’s decision to revoke former Gen. Mark Milley’s government-funded security detail, which newly minted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was poised to announce he is “immediately pulling,” according to media reports. ‘Wake up America:’ Trump slammed over ‘shameful’ decision to revoke top general’s security

Best to wait and see how many attempted changes survive legal and diplomatic challenges before boasting.

Why do you think personal wealth equates to a "quality" person?

It's now been clarified in the media, as posted above, that two deportee flights a week were agreed between the US and Colombia. The issue which created the upset was trump coming into power and the deportees then being handcuffed. The Colombian President took offence to the change in process which has now been resolved. One assumes that deportees are no longer hand cuffed so a "win" for Colombia, not for the US.

The Columbian President complained about the way the deportees were treated. In addition the US had not asked permission to return the people, nor for landing rights for the deportees no surprise whatsoever landing was denied. The Columbian President actually made the Presidential plane available for the deportees which I assume would have won her political points. If trump asked any favours from Columbia in the future he wouldn't get much of a welcome mat; bullies are disliked, except in the one way street of MAGA world.

Guess you would be, but not particularly co0nstructive to build relationships.

It would of been better to have an agreement in place before unauthorised flight. When did the Dems enacted an "open door" / mass migration policy - facts, not propaganda. Practically since his first week in office, President Joe Biden has faced repeated criticisms from Republicans and some Democrats that his border policy amounts to “open borders.” This criticism is not simply inaccurate: it is unhinged from reality in a way that distinguishes itself from normal political hyperbole. Indeed, U.S. immigration policy is effectively closed borders, and Biden’s immigration policies and goals are largely the same as those of President Donald Trump. https://www.cato.org/blog/bidens-border-policy-not-open-borders

Greenland is already under US protection by way of NATO's article 5.

Fair enough, but there must be a prior government to government agreement in place to accept deportees, not just load them onto a flight and demand landing rights - that would be violation of sovereign country rights. Simply put trump is a bully and if not careful will trigger more conflict.

Under NATO agreement, China grabbing Greenland will trigger war. Personally I cannot see any advantage to PRC to trigger such destablisation. Also highly unlikely Denmark will cede Greenland to USA. for what purpose would Denmark give up future wealth from Greenland's resources?

Especially firing by email which is a very low act.

It's the top rate, basic rate is 12%, plus there are various deductibles and so on. However, the tax rate does not define a government as socialist. In any case why do Americans insist a country is socialist due to welfare policies, surely one of the roles of government is to support the less fortunate and general health. Most of the world would view going into debt / bankruptcy as in the US for health care as unacceptable

Denmark is not Socialist, it's a market economy

Has Milley been charged with treason? NO. Trump wasn't in power when Milley look the action he did, he was endeavouring to ensure their was no misunderstanding between the US and PRC based on trump's unauthorised communication. So far as I know until the president elect is confirmed on Jan 20th he is actually acting unlawfully by trying to influence a foreign power The actions by trump in communication with PRC were treasonous and spiteful regards Milley.

trump hired many of those fired. What he is doing is replacing appointees with those who will swear loyalty to him. A component of his overall attempt to be "king". trump has taken the first steps to destroy democracy in the USA and government institutions. It's very sad to see US citizens applauding these efforts.

Unfortunately MAGA is covered in Australia's only national paper in depth every day as it's owned by Murdoch. Yes to both questions, except one parent must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident. I assume you're fully conversant with paleo conservatism the core ideology of MAGA world though i would guess the vast majority of MAGA are not. EDIT: In Australia, a child born within the country does not automatically gain citizenship by birth if neither parent is a permanent resident or citizen; to acquire citizenship in this situation, the child must be "ordinarily resident" in Australia for the first 10 years of their life, meaning they must live primarily in Australia throughout that period.

It's a cruel attempt to revert rights and not according to the Constitution. Just like trump cancelling all asylum seeking assessments who already have appointments. I assume driven by his white supremacist Stephen Miller who's the the White House deputy chief of staff for policy and United States Homeland Security Adviser. No doubt pleasing many MAGA types, but will nave to go through appeals etc. trump will break his promises not to reduce Medicare and other welfare programs. In fact it's already started... https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-scrapped-a-proposed-2-drug-program-for-seniors-but-why-181219100.html https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2025/politics/trump-presidency-vs-us-constitution-dg/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Miller_(political_advisor)
