New Zealand sacks diplomat who questioned Trump’s understanding of WWII
Ambassador to the UK recalled after comparing Trump’s bid to end the war in Ukraine to the appeasement of Nazi Germany.
Silencing those who talked about concerns publicly was also a thing back then.
That ambassador is a former high-ranking politician from a party that is not currently in power. This may be more to do with opportunistic score settling than alignment with Trump.
regardless of internal politics, the censure of such comments seems like NZ is happy make an appearance as an american lap dog in this light 🙁

It might, but given that the guy doing the firing is the founder and still leader of the ultranationalist hive of bigots known as New Zealand First, I think it's beyond safe to assume that he's aligned with Trump on at least one issue..
The guy who did the firing put out this press release about how New Zealand supports Ukraine so it's safe to say they are not following the Trump playbook.
Ultranationalism in New Zealand seems to have its own flavour, rather than blindly following US Conservatives. That politician is Indigenous, supports Ukraine, and spoke at the UN against the genocide in Gaza.
when trump watches ww2 movies, he's cheering for the germans.
The Hugo Boss uniforms do make them look much better than the opposing armies.
New Zealand gov only cares about Billionaire recluses now.
Gaben's threatened them with VAC bans.
Prime minster Luton is such a fucken spanner.
Worst is the ACT party - like the Germans AfD
You’re not able to free-think. You are the face of New Zealand
Like many of the things ultranationalist scumbags like Winston Peters say, that speaks volumes about why jingoism is ruinous for the countries it purports to lionize..
Are you talking about the same Al Jazeera that Arab Islamist countries despotic leaders hate so much that Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, Libya, Bahrain and others added 'immediate and permanent closure of Al Jazeera' to their shortlist of primary demands during the Qatari diplomatic crisis from 2017-2021?
The same Al Jazeera English that's won multiple Peabody awards, the New York Festival TV & Film broadcaster of the year in 2022 & 2023 and the Royal Television Society Award in 2021 & 2022?

P.s. its OK I know they're trolling, I just like to spread education for others who may glance over OP's post and take it at face value.
save some adjectives for the rest of us
