@MAstronomers Asteroid mining and lunar mining will generate profit for companies using the resources to sustain space exploration, to build large structures in space (space-based solar power, for example) and to support a permanent human presence in space. Its not about gold digging. /1

@RALee85 @L1_5EarthMoonMN Great thread @RALee85 but the reason #Ukraine is hostile today is because #Russia invaded and annexed #Crimea in 2014 and then directly engaged in war against Ukraine in the Donbas! I think Kyiv has every right to be hostile. The ultimate blame must lay with #Putin .

My very rough EEZ map of Wang Yi's Pacific Islands (PI) tour. The only fully independent PIs he's skipping are ones that recognize Taiwan or have Compacts with US. Even without them, pieces are in place to try to build a 'first island chain' to hem in/interdict Australia & NZ.

@berlin_bridge I think France and Britain could have stepped in in 1933 and removed the Nazis but counterfactual history is always a bit abstract. But, you are spot on re the parallels between 1939 and 2023.

Another moment of clarity with @djrothkopf on why #Biden calling for #Putin 's removal isn't the wrong thing to say. The @WhiteHouse was wrong to walkback @POTUS 's comment in the first place, and especially in the way they did it.

Brief, cool-headed, foreign policy analysis on why the President saying Putin has got to go is not a problem. 1.) It's true. So long as Putin is at the helm in Russia, the country will be isolated and its people will needlessly suffer.

@AVindman Alex, hope you are right about these being 'empty threats' but we are talking nukes. Seems to me you don't make nuclear threats without being willing to follow through. We can't assume this won't escalate from here.

Debate on high speed rail in Australia is always interesting, but I cannot, for the life of me, understand why the US has not introduced high speed rail, given the often appalling US air travel experience. High speed rail in the US would dramatically reduce air travel congestion

@CChivvis @TheEconomist “their maximalist war aims are unrealistic.” You mean recovering their territory, including Crimea, and freeing Ukrainian people currently being brutalised under Russian occupation in that territory? (Remember Bucha) You mean stopping further Russian attacks on Ukraine?

To be honest, whether we upset Beijing or not, is not the main issue. What matters is building important defence diplomacy that strengthens regional cooperation to ensure a secure and stable Indo-Pacific region.

Australia to rejoin 'quad' naval exercises in move certain to infuriate Beijing

Diplomatic tensions with China are set to be reignited after Australia is formally invited to take part in large scale military exercises next month involving the United States, Japan and India.

@yun_aus I don’t have any problems with the Chinese people or China per se. I DO have a problem with the policies of the #CCP . So it shouldn’t be about ‘good or bad Chinese’ - it should be about the ‘Chinese state’s’ foreign and defence policies and its geopolitical ambitions.
