I remember driving around Victoria on a visit in 2018, and thinking how nice most people in Australia have it compared to the US (aboriginal peoples excluded), and then on the radio comes Malcom Turnbull talking about how the best way to create new Australian jobs is to start building weapons. Then I thought "All this, you're going to lose it,".
It also worried me given how the CBDs of most of Australia's large cities seemed heavily populated by Chinese immigrants that there was some kind of hysteria about Chinese people being spies, students being spies etc. It seemed obviously manufactured in the warm up for what is now unfolding, and I really worry about what is happening, and what will happen to all those people.
Unless the slightly dark horse of US incompetence thwarts war, and the very dark horse of Australia pulling itself out of this madness, pull ahead, I can't help but think of what a waste it will be, how much Australia had and throws away. I guess not too dissimilar to European countries giving up their quality of life and welfare state to fuel and an unnecessary and easily avoided war.
These people will become cannon fodder for the US War Machine. All the while this filth sits back and once again uses the people and resources of another country to make a huge profit. Since the US won't have any dirt in the fight the people here will chug along business as usual. Horrifying to say the least.
