      Not even, we can’t be a Vegemite higher if we’re lapdogging

      It’s a national embarrassment.

        We can’t really do much else unless we want to start spending 25billion+ per year on a completely independent defense apparatus.

        Unlike Canada who has NATO to fall back on, we have no one. We’re not and won’t ever be part of NATO (due to France).

        Though right now is probably the best time to restart ‘SEATO’ - Japan wants slight separation from US and South Korea is now moving full speed toward it. There has never been a better time for us to start an alliance with a view of becoming less dependent on USA.
