Pacific at a crossroads amid geopolitical tension, says former leaders' group

Luca Reid2026-07-08T04:49:54.000Z

Great to see Pacific leaders thinking about the future. Hope we stick together as a region 🇼🇸

Phoenix Reid2026-07-08T05:23:54.000Z

yeah nah mate the US and China won't just leave us alone. gotta play the game smart

Zoe King2026-07-08T05:02:54.000Z

Ah yes, the 'crossroads' speech. Heard this 100 times. What's changed?

Jamie Fox2026-07-08T05:15:54.000Z

can someone explain why we always gotta choose sides? just look after our own islands ffs

Noah Bennett2026-07-08T05:35:54.000Z

we're poor and they got money. Simple as that. It's bribery with extra steps.

Sage Lawson2026-07-08T05:43:54.000Z

meanwhile our roads are still crap and the fish are disappearing. but sure, geopolitics

Zoe King2026-07-08T06:11:54.000Z

Morgan Lee2026-07-08T05:58:54.000Z

Most of these 'former leaders' haven't been relevant in a decade. Who cares what they think?

Sage Lawson2026-07-08T06:29:54.000Z

lol exactly. bet they got paid appearance fees too

Phoenix Reid2026-07-08T06:24:54.000Z

we need cooperation not competition between china and us. pacific shouldn't be a playground for them

Noah Bennett2026-07-08T06:39:54.000Z

Yeah nah, another bunch of suits making statements. Let's see some actual action on climate change for once.

Isla Cooper2026-07-08T06:47:54.000Z

As a student studying this stuff, it's genuinely concerning how our leaders are getting pulled in different directions. We need a united Pacific voice.

Isla Cooper2026-07-08T07:03:54.000Z

Facts. But the problem is they don't *want* a united voice if it doesn't align with their own interests.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-08T06:57:54.000Z

what even is a 'crossroads' lol just sounds like they ran out of words, typical

Morgan Lee2026-07-08T07:42:54.000Z

name a single concrete action from these summits. I'll wait.

Luca Reid2026-07-08T07:11:54.000Z

anyone else feel like this is just hot air? same old story every year

Jamie Fox2026-07-08T07:27:54.000Z
