Ugh…
PM, deputy congratulate Trump, Vance; keen to deepen ties with US
The prime minister has congratulated the new president of the United States, Donald Trump.
Christopher Luxon said the relationship between New Zealand and the US has strong foundations and was bound by history and shared values.
Luxon said he looked forward to working together to make the most of the opportunities that exist between them.
…sucking up to America after it enabled Israel’s genocide was problematic enough, sucking up to Trump’s America is belittling to the mana of our nation.
We have an independent foreign policy because of leaders like Trump.
We do not want to be sucked into whatever inane vortex this orange fascist brings with him.
Trump just pulled out of WHO, just pulled out of the Paris Climate agreement and just pardoned 1600 rioters who attempted an insurrection that he induced FFS!
This is not a leader we want anything to do with!
He’s a Criminal President who has won by playing to the worst angels of America’s nature.
Trump is a Pied Piper for armed redneck fuckwits, he is an orange fascism, he is the American Midnight and our Prime Minister can’t wait to hump his leg!
Ugh.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
The irony here is Luxon talking of “ shared values” when he has few, if any values himself. No-one will forget he describing himself as “ sorted”, just because he’s rich. Nor his referring to other New Zealanders as “ bottom-feeders”.
This mightn’t matter that much if he didn’t claim Christian connections when basically he’s a Golden Calf sort of fellow, sans Moses leadership abilities.
Luxon leading the dispossessed to a promised land, or even caring about them? Not likely. His vision, IMO, extends to popping along for a photo op at Bunnings silly enough to think that this’ll make him look like a regular normal sort of man. Nope.
This is a mad mad world when persons issue photos of themselves speaking on a telephone. And with that lascivious smile on his face, Chris could be talking to himself for all we know.
Luxon could argue that it is normal protocol to congratulate a newly inaugurated foreign leader (the fact is while not abnormal, it is certainly not obligatory) and we must not forget that Christopher Hipkins also congratulated Trump and wished him success on behalf of the New Zealand Labour Party.
The “independent foreign policy” people still talk about was still-born in the nineteen eighties. It failed its first big test, the forced release from prison of the Rainbow Warrior bombers under pressure from France, the UK, US and EU, and things have gone inexorably downhill since then. The simple fact is that while the Realm of New Zealand remains a colonialist state it cannot have an independent foreign policy. If Satan himself had been inducted into the White House, Luxon and Hipkins would have sent congratulatory messages.
Well put .A small country like NZ cannot pick and choose who we are friends with . Even or closest ally Australia does thinks that do not fit with our values.
While I find it hard to accept Trumps victory it was the will of millions of Americans just as million of British voted in Boris . The British came to regret their choice and Americans may do the same .
Trumps winning margin was 49.9% to 48.4% which shows a very closely divided electorate. Just accepting that is the “will” of the people is naive as just as in the UK (and NZ) it is the easily swayed politically uneducated voter that can screw up an election and head a country down the wrong track. Democracy is fast sinking into a radicalised partisan era that feeds on an illiterate and childlike electorate akin to taking a democratic vote in a kindergarten class for more lollies and bugger the tooth decay.
being manipulated by social media doesn’t help – I’ve basically ditched it and so have a lot of my friends, on both sides of the aisle.
We have all the independent foreign policy that the people of NZ are prepared to pay for.
As in none
As the real journalist in the quote writes, Luxon is sucking up to USA, not America.
Next you’ll be telling us that a Kiwi is a flightless bird.
Yeah oh yeah OMG of course I wanna suck your dick can’t believe you asked, I’ll like literally do ANYTHING for you…
Watch our anti nuke policy go out the window first.
GO TRUMPY FROM THE STUDENT PREZ
