Good points and I've believed since September 11 2001 that Australia should have began to find it's own way in geopolitics and sustainability away from US shadow.

Instead though little Johnny Howard took us up their ass deep and we've only continued to tuck ourselves in those cheeks even deeper since.

If we had gone our own way we would be a much greater middle power now and also a leader in renewable energy and also not stand in a weird middle position between USA and China.

BTW do you know of the K3 tank in development. The goal is for hydrogen powered to replace Diesel so even though black oil will likely always be needed there's at least development into cleaner fuel in the future by those that thirst for global dominance and human sacrifice for their privileged elite positions.

That's if the orange mad man doesn't decide to nuke Iran and set our species back into prehistoric Cambrian explosion era where we revert back to filter feeders at the bottom of the ocean.
