good idea Pintohoo. It’s about time Australians asked for a cost benefit analysis of ANZUS because the answers might surprise.
under the treaty, the US isn’t obligated to come the aid of Australia if in the remote possibility we’re attacked.
yet for some reason Australia ends up being a willing participant in every daft genocide the US commits anywhere it wants.
so Australian blood is spilled in the middle of nowhere in places like Afghanistan simply to support America’s blood lust to murder people and destroy the country after 9/11.
and then we go about helping America murder civilians and others in the illegal invasion and occupation of Syria, in which we have a hand in wrecking. When no Syrian ever did us any harm.
the list goes on, Iraq, Vietnam.
None of it bringing anything positive or uplifting for Australia. How can there be joy in helping boost production, revenue and profits of the vast US military/industrial complex.
Australia would be better served looking after our own national interest rather than trying to be a minor cog in a failing empire’s war machine.
