Yeah, but I know that the whole white Australia thing is still quite strong and that anything that challenges this notion is something they don't want to accept but however, this year is going to seriously test whether Australia can bear the fact that in the future, the west is not only on a decline, but it is one that has once been a solid foundation to the point where now it is a house of cards that can be pulled apart should something bad enough occur (i.e. gamestop is just the start). It is going to take a lot of time to get used to the fact that Australia is essentially alone against a super power that should they push the right buttons and if China's kindness as been extended to its limits and if the USA has been brought down via earthquakes, civil war or even an EMP however unlikely that is to occur, well China has so many ways to bringing down a nation without resorting to a DF missile that I can safely say that there is no defense against (not the USA nor Australia have ever been hit by one nor are either willing to try that path out right now) that it is not funny and since Australia's misfortune benefits the rest of the world, well, no one will help Australia until Australia finally grows a brain, something that will rapidly happen when all of there protectors will make it clear that no one will waste a cent to defend them. There media can cry all they want but sooner or later, if the government has to sacrifice something to avoid a super sonic missile to Canberra (after everything that Australia has done so far, they honestly don't sound very brave now that the world knows of Australia's racism problems), well Rupert Murdoch might unfortunately be in a lot of trouble unless he dies from old age first.I also think that Scomo’s days are numbered... but the general political landscape of Australia probably won’t change their stance anytime soon, the media is still going on a ‘Australia is winning the trade war campaign’ and the politicians are kind of stuck... plus by all indications India and Australia is very intent to continue their Quad alliance BS, but it’s not just faith in US, India without question is having delusions of being an economic superpower while Australia is more survival with defiance and staking on India, no matter how misguided that might be... I agree that should Biden fail then it going to be a bad time for both India and Australia, so we will have to see how Biden will play the game... the only major concern that I see is that the democrats always use more insidious methods, not just the usual CIA/intelligence BS and much harder to read than the republican’s straight forward actions and rhetoric of human rights blah, blah...
Also to note that most of the world would also benefit from the fall of the USA hence I don't see many nations offering to help the USA right now, if anything they will become more of a laughing stock
