The federal government must push back on the Trump administration's blatant foreign interference in our independent research in the strongest possible terms.

The absolute double think in this quote. How is it foreign interference in your research, if it's our money in the first place? It's only foreign interference when we STOP funding you? So you're entitled to our funding without us having a say in it?

Get absolutely fucked.

if you cant survive without funding from a foreign country then you deserve to be destroyed.

Or stripped of sovereignty. Let's make them a vassal state and force them to adhere to American legal standards and stop being censorious authoritarian despots.

Oh you were talking about the universities weren't you?

The libtards scream about how Trump has "SPOOPY SCARY PLANS FOR THE WORLD", but I figure a lot of people around the world owe the american taxpayer a lotta money.

As an Aussie, good. I'm sick of America being the nanny for the rest of the world. America should be focusing on America and Australia should be able to be independent instead of relying on others.

I'm sick and tired of this entitlement every nation seems to have towards America, as if building up their own nation isn't feasible.

As Americans we only have two viable long term paths, either stop the funding, or say "fuck you it's mine" and just take over everywhere we are funding. No more handouts, especially to other wealthy nations who hate us.

just take over everywhere we are funding

i get the sentiment but you need to start finding the irony in the "freedom-loving anti-globalists" like yourself advocating for a global hegemony led by a man who kisses a wall for whiny people in the middle east while managing to deport fewer foreigners than a senile old man (who also kisses the wall)

Fuck off with that. Either we stop the funding, preferred, or we get a return on our investment. This utter nonsense of getting nothing but hate from our generosity has to end one way or another.

No dumbass, funding the defense of every NATO member and footing the bill for most of the UN. At least we get veto power out of the deal with the UN, what do we get for funding NATO or anything else? Hatred and resentment.

How do you miss the point this fucking hard? Either we stop sending money for anything, subversive or otherwise, or we get a return on our investment.

You're not funding any NATO members' defense, that's just the cover story. If it was true, European cities wouldn't all look like fucking Beirut. US taxpayers are just funding obscene profits for the military-industrial complex.

What a nonsensical statement. Funding NATO's defense has no bearing on member's immigration policies are you buffoon. That shit is 100% on their politicians being in pocket of that asshole Soros

is it? it would go together very well with trump saying he loves h1b people, as well as musk saying he will go to war with the american people for his right to import super-smart indians and replace the retarded Whites.

I agree. I've held that position for a while in fact, though I admit I heavily lean on the former rather than the latter since I support sovereignty. But I definitely agree that this halfway bullshit is fucking awful. Either run the show, or don't. None of this halfway crap because it clearly doesn't work.

Finally, video games quotes have become real life. Specifically Sim City 2000

"You can't cut back on funding! You will regret this!"

Australia does some of the highest quality university research in the world, and for cheap.

The USA can (and does) fund specific research and they get to say what happens to that research after it is finished. It unusually goes into the public domain.

For example, the USA could fund a series of projects on mechanically compounded super-alloys. They would benefit from the shitty Australian dollar, and then get full use of the information.

In principle it is a good idea.

The devil is in the details.

Probably to generate bullshit research studies that the elites can point to when they want to trick the masses into supporting something harmful.

The headline here perfectly encapsulates the rot eating society. One of the shining examples of western civilization... has an emergency when a foreign nation cuts funding to their higher education centres.
