Trump warns ‘a whole civilisation will die’ + The truth behind war memes

Wednesday Headlines:

  • Trump warns a 'whole civilisation will die' if Iran doesn't make deal
  • Ben Roberts Smith to appear before court today
  • Record number of scam websites taken down by Australia's financial regulator
  • Kanye West blocked from entering the UK
  • EV sales hit record highs in Australia

Deep Dive: War used to be reported. Now it’s being packaged.

Footage shared by the White House showing strikes on Iran is being edited like gameplay - complete with stylised overlays, dramatic pacing and even ‘killstreak’-style visuals, pulling in millions of views.

But this isn’t a one-off. From ICE raid clips set to the Pokémon theme to military operations branded like blockbuster titles, conflict is being reframed through the language and aesthetics of entertainment.

In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith speaks with Daniel Baldino from the University of Notre Dame Australia about how war is being gamified - and what that shift does to public perception, accountability, and reality itself.
