Marles behaves with all of the characteristics of a cultivated American asset. That such a mediocre hollow man has aspirations to the Foreign Ministry during this turbulence is nothing short of alarming.

He’s far from alone in his vassal status. The gravy train of US-funded ‘Think Tanks’ and various ‘consultancy’ positions has been the pay off to Australian ‘elites’ prepared to offer blind obedience for generations.

Things may only change and shake us loose from the wreckage of the collapsing US Imperial apparatus once this gormless cast of grifters and opportunists realise that the circus is leaving town.

Of course, having a corporate media ecosystem dominated by an American-owned propagandist and ubiquitous tech platforms now in subservience to MAGA is not helping things, to say the least.

But at the end of the day, the more thoughtful and progressive amongst us (currently a minority, I acknowledge) must look at this as an opportunity to recalibrate and promote a decisive movement away from the wanton destruction at-scale of imperial capitalism.
