australia has our head so far up the US’s ass that we’ll probably take some non functional mock ups of F-35s, pay full price, and thank them for also not delivering the submarines we agreed on and paid for and call it a day
I guess I know what you mean, though I wouldn’t quite put it like that.
Australia is a giant island with a tiny navy, so you almost completely rely on the US for deterrence and protection of your sovereign water. That gives the US a lot of leverage on arms-deals. It’s also pretty much the reason Australia has joined every single US incursion into the middle east with boots on the ground.
It’s more like the US has you by the balls instead of your head being up their ass.
