Consider, overall domestic hostility to migrants and refugees in USA. USA trade policies, influenced by affairs in China and need for Pacific dominance, brought about a war against Japan.
Paradoxical that they are now involving Australia and, for some strange reason NATO, in risking a world war on behalf of migrants and refugees to a Chinese island formerly occupied by Japan.
USA has a minimum of seven bases in Australia - built to keep USA safe and distanced from both economic frontier and actual wars, not to protect Oz. Now US nuclear subs are based 60km from the centre of once peaceful but now targeted Perth.
A further paradox that, as with ASM's REEs, hafnium and niobium, the very materials they neglected to retain, they now put in the harm's way.
Our lives shouldn't be in a Hollywood macho 'Western Movie' or caught up in Boris Johnson's absurdly expensive AUKUS one-upmanship with Emmanuel Macron.
Post the farewell royal tour let us confine ourselves to being positively and profitably 'Good Neighbours' to all.
