I’m not gonna be happy if Albo makes us join the ‘Board of Peace’. But I honestly wonder if he has the ticker to turn Trump down. I’ve typically been a Labor voter, but Albanese’s been a thundering disappointment.
If he does, though, it’d be the perfect opportunity to start moving our trade away from the US. There’s always the Pine Gap carrot to dangle in front of the orange moron, too. Doesn’t wanna treat us with respect? No more 5 Eyes for Donny.
Let’s face it: There hasn’t been a war or ‘peacekeeping’ action we haven’t been dragged into by the US since we stopped getting dragged into them by England. With the exception of Bougainville, I suppose. China’s not interested in starting a war with a country that is happy to have trade with them. It’d ultimately be in our favour to distance ourselves from Trump.
I despise Trump, and whole our relationship with the US could be reconfigured, and id like a stronger relationship with EU, our alliance with the US will outlive Trump.
But even when decent government returns, can we ever truly trust the US again, when they’re four years away from potentially electing another Trump (or someone even worse?)

I somewhat disagree.

Is Trump an aberration or a new trajectory? We will find out I guess. My point is, this new strategy in isolation is not very meaningful.
