  • I didn't know the extent to which Australia is an American vassal state.

    • They overthrew Whitlam in 75’ for trying to nationalize the mining sector, it is to be expected

    • It's because they're the main "Western" country in the pacific that they can use as their frontline in a confrontation with China. This plus being part of the anglo intelligence community and it's no surprise that they're so much more of a puppet than most other western countries.

      • Doesn’t that distinction go more to Japan? Australia is very disconnected from Asia, and Japan or the Philippines would make a much better staging area.

        • That being said, the Philippines still has a growing New Democratic movement a la Mao (in fact, one of the more largest) and is promising in its anti-imperialist stance against the U.S.A and connection to the Global South....

          (Though you might disagree with its stance on South China Sea)

          Unless that movement were to go the way of Indonesia, I don't think the Philippines would make the staging area (South Korea more likely as well)... due to its possible large resistance (it's unprecedented at least)

          I should note however, it has U.S military bases...

        • The involvement of the Anglo intelligence community is of much more crucial interest to the 3 letter agencies in the US, and hence their need to nearly completely submit Australia to the will of the US state to allow such facilities and operations to take place on their soil. Japan, while certainly a puppet regime, is not that far integrated into the western bloc's intelligence network as Australia is, and despite slow rollbacks to it, Japan was for a long time technically not allowed to field a large military itself, unlike Australia, which has historically been part of Five Eyes for 8 decades, and more recently AUKAS and Quad.

    • Sibling have you seen the submarine drama lmao, that's was sign number 1.

      The US-CA-UK-AUS-NZ bourgeoisie is essentially unified. The Canadians and Aussies mine, the Brits finance, the Americans fix the markets, and they'll all move to Kiwi-Occupied Aotearoa when WW3 starts.

    • They were colonized by the same people so I can’t say I’m super surprised.

    • It's fucking awful. Most Australians don't know either and think we're a "free" country that chooses to torpedo trade agreements and fuck over our economy by buying stupidly expensive and barely functional American subs entirely by choice.
