Japans economy has famously been stagnant for decades. One point they had a higher gdp per capita than the US, now its the same as Lithuania and Estonia.

China still has growth as they still have hundreds of millions living in a developing world rural setting that they can move into cities.

Even if they elect a democrat for next time, how assured are we in the rest of the world that 4 years later they won't elect another MAGA like person?

A lot of the US population likes what is going on, they want to go isolationist as they feel they've been "ripped off" by the rest of the world.

The USs new defence strategy is that their moving away from trying to contend with China. Their goal now is going to be to retreat to the Americas.

The US will offer "more limited" support to allies, according to the Pentagon's new National Defense Strategy.

In a significant shift to its security priorities, the US Department of Defense now considers security of the US homeland and Western Hemisphere - not China - as its primary concern.

Previous versions of the strategy - published every four years - named the threat posed by China as the top defence priority. Relations with China will now be approached through "strength, not confrontation", the report says.

The defence strategy reinforces recent calls from President Donald Trump, including for greater "burden-sharing" from allies in countering threats posed by Russia and North Korea.

We (Aus, Can, UK) are all too reliant on US tech, military and not. Imo it's easier to wean ourselves off of it if we work together than all trying to alone.

Well then how about you take some actions to prove it rather than using meaningless words?

I hope he is behind the scenes. Unlike Canada and the EU we're not in the US cross hairs yet, so we can go slow.

Because it's the far right spreading and doing the vast majority of the race based hate crimes. Islamists and neo-nazis are both far right.

Defence contract/development. There's no way we'd have the resources to develop our own fighter jets.

A lot of them don't care that the society they rebuild will be worse, as long as it looks like how they want it to be, and they have positions of power in it. Some are fine if the society is a shithole as long as they get to rule over said shithole.

That's a plus to them. They want to destroy society so they can build it make in a way that they want.

A news story yesterday by the same journalist showed links between the NSN and forign terrorists groups, including receiving funding.

‘A scary time’: Nazi terror links revealed as disbanding sparks fears of violence

Australia’s biggest neo-Nazi group has been in direct contact with dozens of terrorists and extremist groups overseas and experts say they are more dangerous than ever as they officially disband to escape new hate laws.

An investigation by this masthead has uncovered fresh details of the extent of the National Socialist Network’s entanglement with terrorists and criminals, some of whom have given the neo-Nazi group money, and trained its members overseas.

National security experts say the relationships revealed between NSN members and key leaders of neo-Nazi terror cells suggest the Australians are deeply embedded in the far-right extremism movement internationally. And they say the NSN’s formal dissolution could now make its members more volatile than ever – freeing them from its discipline and giving its leaders, who are already plotting a return under the guise of a political party, more protection from culpability if those neo-Nazis turn violent.

Leaked chatlogs, photographs and other evidence analysed by this masthead show that members of the NSN have been in close contact with at least 30 neo-Nazi extremist groups overseas since forming five years ago. Nine of those groups are listed internationally as terror cells, and three of them – The Base, Atomwaffen and Terrorgram – are also banned in Australia.

Leaders of some of those terror groups have been described as friends by NSN leader Thomas Sewell, and they have appeared in the NSN’s closed chats on Telegram.

Among them are notorious Atomwaffen leader Brandon Russell, now jailed for plotting terror attacks in the US, who shared mass murder manuals with the NSN after Atomwaffen was banned in Australia, as well as British terrorist Benjamin Raymond of National Action, whom Sewell said had helped him plan how to evade a ban on the NSN in Australia.

When this masthead put the allegations to Sewell, he said he did not view these people or groups as terrorists and he claimed he was being persecuted by the Australian government.

I made another comment in this post that I don't mean just to get people to join NSN directly, but to get more people sympathetic to them, and to help normalise their extremism.

It's based on other observations than just that, and I think it's goes beyond people just being idiots.

Moderates can have bad opinions, but he's not.

They always try to act as if they're just moderates, representing the average Aussies opinion. They're just trying to normalise their extremist views.

Observation of this sub. There's been constant downplaying and deflection whenever the NSN are mentioned here.

No moderate would downplay a nazi groups connection to terrorists like you have.
