IMO - American politics at federal level affects Australia more than Australian politics does

Aus reacts to America --------- so many huge waves come from ripples that begin in America and end up tidal waves in Eastern Australia

war, inflation, interest rates, tariffs, sanctions, trade wars, military strategy of the USA ------------- all have a profound effect on Australia

Australia is a nuclear target --------- for one reason - America has military bases on Australian soil

it just doesn't get any bigger than that.

AUKUS - what will be the biggest spend in Australian history most likely - due - to America.

If Trump wins and they impose the tariffs he is promising - more than likely the US inflation will go strongly north - which would mean if the fed is in charge as it is atm - that interest rates will head north strongly

if Trump ditches the fed and takes over and does not raise interest rates - inflation will reach petrol on fire levels

Aussie home owners could well be facing catastrophic conditions - the worst since probably 1930's

geesus - if that doesn't deserve discussion on an Australian political forum -

what does?
