My position has always been that as long as China is the global sweat shop, ALL western front will bang on about the Globalisation and its perceived win-win and cultural exchanges. The minute US hegemony is threatened, she will by crook or hook, gather the so called "research", human rights and injustice to subtly ramp up the propaganda. This is the Oxymoron, so called democracies banging on about the other side including Russia is somehow truth telling. When you have the bastion of so called Democracy invaded by their citizen culminating to mortality (Capitol Hill), it is democracy at work. I won't comment on it conflict to cheer leaders but is actually war to anyone else and the latest Afghanistan fiasco.
Domestically, Scomo is painting his tearing up of the French Sub deal as changed political conditions, in the interest of the nation and all those warm fuzzy justifications. The trade sanctions by China is illigetimate and we are taking them to WTO for penalties and all those paybacks. Isn't it in China's interest to make sure Oz doesn't try to punch above the weight when brawling with a super heavyweight?
As Keating said, we have lost our independent decision making with foreign policy. We relocated MoD to Washington, not it seems DFAT has also set up the HQ there too. What we get his a relocation of American forces in Darwin eventually to their new colony. Now start preparing for another tearing sound, Darwin ports. Not quite yet, ASPI needs to pump out those "factual research" to strength the public resolve.
Oh, IOP top had formed, this is the bull trap. Start preparing for a 2015 IO crash. Now over to T and G to beat down the hurdle to their large pile of $.
