For some in Australia’s media, the tall poppy syndrome never seems to ease, driven by an underlying insecurity rooted in their own fear of failure and false sense of greatness.George’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.
Keating is unarguably correct about Australia and China. As he says: Australia will equip itself with extravagantly expensive naval vessels to intercept shipping going to China from … Australia. China is not inclined to attack anyone. It expanded its domains by diplomacy not force of arms. The two times it tried foreign adventurism by attacking Vietnam and Japan was when it was controlled by the Mongols and then it came badly unstuck. As Keating says: the Chinese play a long game Taiwan will eventually be reunified probably more in form than substance.
The majority of whom are living in a “simulation” of democracy. It’s hardly surprising…the media here are just echo chambers for the duopoly of political control.
As George Galloway commented regarding US politics…two cheeks on the same arse.
Anyone who calls out Pelosi is OK with me! Especially when she's ramping up tensions in an already dangerous world that her party of government is largely and very recklessly responsible for, and on Keating's "patch". I wonder if Australian lawmakers who bow down (and bend over) to American power ever consider that they are only endangering their country and are in fact traitors.
They need to get more than that Jenny. They need guts & a dose of realism. I'm so sick of these 'journalists' & their obsession with themselves & their life styles. Inform, educate yourselves. And as for Chris Ulham ....who cares what he thinks?

Because this only affects Australians.

well said
I really can't understand why there are SO few comments on here!
Exactly what do all these politicians in the world NOT see when they decide to slavishly follow the USA?
Even know when NATO is running a war from Ukraine against Russia why are they not tuning away?
The whole lot of them need to get some good education and diplomacy skills.
