With respect, Australia us a side show and whatever the election result matters nothing in the overall world scheme of things, including AUKUS.

The malign entity that infests the White House is an altogether different thing all together. It's willingness to destroy domestic and international relations will (not might), result in anti-American sentiment world wide and China and Russia will exploit that sentiment. Look at Wall Street today, with Tesla shares taking by 15% in a single days trading. Well done Ronald MacDonald, America is well on the way to being the next member state of the USSR.

Lol how so we gave it all in world war 1 and 2 and even wars we should not have gone two like iran afgan. Oz and NZ defence forces are world renowned for there fighting skills. You say insignificant as you have 68 k defence for to ours 59 k and you have 3 times the population aren't you the ones mor insignificant?
