It's amazing how the dodgy Submarine deal done by Scomo has exposed the partisan nature of US Politics, we basically have two groups, one that is all for AUKUS sharing global power, policing and responsibility, and the other that is all for hoarding the resources.
Whether you are for or against AUKUS, one side of that debate is clearly untenable on a global scale!
Personally, I think Australia has no choice but to configure itself for it's own defence. Can you imagine relying on someone like Trump to come to your aid if he was positioned as the meat in a China / Australia sandwich? He'd sell you out faster than he could emit a COVID riddled sneeze. Australia being dependant on someone like Trump is not outside the realms of possibility!
