Just spotted this on the news
Three points based on the above
1. The rise of China in the Indo Pacific region is unstoppable. 2. Australia should not rely on the ANZUS treaty while Donald Trump is president. He does not honour such agreements made by previous administrations. 3. Defending Australia will be require much bigger spending on military assets.
I personally do not think we can afford to support US in any new military expeditions in the Middle East, or anywhere else for that matter, but we probably will because we've never seen a war we didn't want to be part of.

Australia has always been USED by the US during administrations conducting questionable expeditions in various foreign countries.
I guess Australia participates to show solidarity(albeit misguided)with the U.S., thanks are in order for the sacrifice of Aussie soldiers, they did what their country asked of them.
I've met Aussie soldiers, some are still living, some left their life in Vietnam. I feel sad.

Dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid, in the future man will be wiped out by man. If not careful not so far into the future if the orange one stays in office. My deepest sympathies for the dilemma that is happening to the people of Australia. So very sad.
