Ulike the USA we dont have a "nuclear umbrella" just a few fighter
jets and a few SAMS that are useless against an ICBM loaded with
a dozen Nuke warheads.

As with the Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan & Vietnam wars , the US
chooses to fight wars O/S and not on US territory since WW1 and IMO
in the event of WW3, one could add Aus to that OS list.

If we really want to rely on the US to protect us from Russia or China,
then we should put the hard word on Uncle Sam to provide Aus (free of charge in lieu
of our contribution to US wars since Korea) with an anti ICBM shield similar to that
of its own....otherwise our best defence is to be neutral...ie: have no enemies.
