In short:

Donald Trump has claimed victory in the US presidential election, saying his political movement is the greatest the world has ever seen.

The Republican candidate swamped his Democratic rival Kamala Harris in critical swing states.

What’s next?

The Republicans were on track to win both chambers of congress, too, paving the way for Trump’s agenda to be enacted in full.

Welp, I said I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened but damn; how disappointing. Dark times ahead for the US and likely the rest of us I think. Would absolutely love to be wrong though.

Yeah just off the top of my head that’s probably it for Gaza and Ukraine. Unless Europe and the rest of us grow some serious spine soon.

Honestly, as one of the most pro-Palestinian people around here, nope. Trump, unlike Biden/Harris, feels no need to pretend to be doing anything to stop Israel, and in fact would be representing his voters by giving Israel more money and support. Things probably can’t get much worse for Gaza, but Lebanon has dark days ahead of it.

Overseas News

!worldnews@aussie.zone

Create post

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.
