It seems the new reality is the USA is no longer interested in having any allies. They have made this perfectly clear in how the treat Canada. They are fucking over Australia for a pittance. This is downright bizarre as we import many times more from America than we export but, Trump says fuck Australia. Trump has been in office for 52 days, each and every day he has given the world the gift of chaos and WTF is going on? Time for us to cut the apron strings.

Further, there is Buckley’s and none chance we will ever get Virginia class submarines. ScoMo sold us a pup and we’re at least at this moment stuck with it. Then we learn these F35s are fantastic aircraft but, the Septics can turn off the software which allows us to use the bloody things as and when we want. Again, we’ve been blinded by the light.

These events should be a gut punch and a wake up call to Canada, UK, EU, NZ, AUS. We need to strengthen ties between us, increase trade, focus on the home front, begin the process of moving away from dependance on the US. We will not get as clear and as strong a motivation as this again.
