I’ve usually defended the ABC from all the crazies, but leading its TV news by following up The Australian’s Albo-bashing “melons” beat-up is a low point.

Trump tries to get himself into the Spanish team’s trophy celebration! Has to be dragged away by Infantino. How typical!

Fascinating to watch Americans who suddenly thought they knew more about football than the rest of the world, and with over-inflated expectations, come back to earth with a thud. It’s not pretty.

Oh god, the heads of all the American “I don’t know much about soccer but. ..the rules suck” critics are going to explode with this Portugal win. But..,the drama!

After a couple of the most gloriously exciting days at the World Cup, social media is still full of Americans whining about the rules and why they don’t like the sport. Enough, FFS. The world doesn’t care what you think.
OK I know zip about submarines but this really doesn’t sound good, does it. The impression will grow that we’re being dudded.
Defence Minister Richard Marles says shifting to buy three secondhand Virginia-class submarines (instead of a mix of old and new) from the US makes sense: "we need to place a premium on simplicity." He also says it will deliver "useful" savings to the program

David Speers asked David Pocock a question about govt gas ownership about six times! Determined to get his gotcha but Pocock wasn’t biting. #ABCInsiders

Why is Angus Taylor not appearing on #ABC730 to defend his immigration policy? Worried about tough questions?

A reminder of the US media’s problems covering Trump, and where it has failed. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcas…

Trump revives the line about bombing a country back to the Stone Age, last used seriously in Vietnam. How’d that go, Don?

Trump translated: We don’t need the oil and so don’t need to reopen the Hormuz strait (which we closed) so you’all go get it yourself. See ya.

A neat and accurate summary of the sh*tshow that is Trump and Netanyahu’s “excursion”.
Former president of Romania, Traian Basescu: "Donald Trump is reaping exactly what he has sown. He showed contempt for Europeans, he demeaned us, questioned the very existence of NATO and wanted to invade and annex Greenland, a territory that belongs to the European Union. The rejection shown today by European leaders is aimed not at the United States, but straight at Donald Trump.
He comes out of this conflict humiliated, the Hormuz strait is now blocked, he failed to achieve regime change, failed to secure the uranium and proved himself incapable of defending his own allies in the Middle East. All the US allies in the Gulf that saw themselves as protected by the US were struck by Iran almost at will, whenever Iran wanted, with the US being either unwilling or unable to defend them. So Mr. Trump comes out of this with a terrible record.
He started this war having absolutely no idea what he was doing, and even now, I don’t think this man is aware of or understands what he has done. Yes, Iran cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons, but the way Trump thought he could solve that problem is one that only a child could come up with. This man still doesn’t understand what he has done and continues to be arrogant when asking us for help instead of admitting his mistake."

Penny starting to drop for pro-Trump idiot Greg Sheridan on #Insiders that the Middle East could be in a worse position than before the US/Israel attack on Iran. Brilliant, Greg!
Let’s see if the Australian media continues to dance around the truth.
The @AP is now calling Israel’s military actions in southern Lebanon an invasion. Here's why we made that decision:

Anyone still doubt the world is being led into a damaging war by deluded fools led by a crazed narcissist?
