Luxon wanted in on Trump’s war\n\nBryce Edwards\n\n  * 📧 The release of the Luxon–Peters emails has clarified **Christopher Luxon’s foreign policy instincts** , ending months of uncertainty and mixed messaging\n  * 🇺🇸 The emails reveal Luxon initially wanted New Zealand to **publicly align with the United States after strikes on Iran** , but was dissuaded by advisers and ministers\n  * 🧭 This disclosure is likely to **reshape perceptions of the Government’s foreign policy** for the rest of the year\n  * 📰 Josie Pagani argues Luxon is **unfit to lead in dangerous times** , citing lack of conviction and poor judgment\n  * ⚖️ Pagani claims Luxon **favoured the wrong decision despite clear expert advice** , not just a misstep under uncertainty\n  * 🌍 She condemns the war itself as reckless and destabilising, blaming **Donald Trump’s leadership and its global consequences**\n  * 🚨 Her conclusion warns National that **Luxon may be an electoral liability as leader**\n  * 🇺🇸 Anneke Smith attributes Luxon’s stance to his **strong personal and professional ties to the United States** , shaping his instincts\n  * 🔍 Smith suggests either a **breakdown in leadership relationships or serious misjudgment** , possibly both\n  * 🇳🇿 Critics argue Luxon’s approach lacked **independent New Zealand decision-making** , instead deferring to US-aligned thinking\n  * 🗣️ The defence that Luxon was merely “challenging advice” is undermined by the fact that **official policy had already been agreed and communicated**\n  * 📉 Matthew Hooton argues any late shift would have **damaged New Zealand’s credibility and made the Government appear inconsistent**\n  * 🤡 Hooton dismisses the PM’s actions as unnecessary and politically harmful after decisions were already finalised\n  * 🔐 The article ends by noting further analysis is **behind a paywall** , covering polling, internal dynamics, and future implications\n\n\n\nRead More\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
