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

Follow the aussie.zone rules
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)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

Bannon explained how he saw this equation during the president's first term, when he described the media as "dumb", "lazy" and incapable of having multiple focuses.

"All we have to do is flood the zone," he told PBS in 2019. "Every day we hit them with three things. They'll bite on one, and we'll get all of our stuff done. Bang, bang, bang."

I loathe to post about America but this does seem to line up, the attack on Iran almost feels like it was thought up overnight, he’s done it in the dumbest way possible

it's post-structuralism: there are no rules, just power and might, and if you're president, you can do whatever you want.
