Overseas News

A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules
  1. Follow the aussie.zone rules
  2. We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
  3. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  4. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

Musk was soon on the phone with President Joe Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan

I would line up to spit in musks mouth as quickly as the next man but come on. Treason?

He directly chose to influence the outcome of a war. A war that his government is peripherally involved in.

He is playing in a league he has no business in, "fuck around and find out" hits different when the CIA are probably in on the conference call.

He contacted the presidents national security adviser, for advice.

My distain for musk is greater than you know, but saying he is choosing to influence the outcome of a war and framing it in a way that he did it without his governments knowledge? Come on bro.
