United States is a joke. What values does Australia share with it?

An element of interpretation about Australian-China relations is that no matter how useful our economic relationship with China is, there is a basic value and culture obstacle that cannot be bridged.

And enough: China is a really wide country with an enormous economy and growing technological capabilities; We are 27 million people who want to dig something and lie on our beaches. China is a terrible dictatorship controlled by a party; We are a democracy controlled by two parties. We value human rights (depending on whether these rights have a strong or weak by the powerless). We value a free press and free speech and the superiority of law (type). We do not lock the opponents or punish “separatists .. We do not share a language or culture. Our wonderful China-Avustralya diasspor, which has been part of the texture of Australian life since billions and white invasions in export revenue, cannot close this gap.

This has always been contradictory in our extensive shared values made with our old security guarantee, the US guarantee. However, if the “shared values” are always exaggerated by the Australians more than the Americans, and always expressed in the desire to participate in Australia in the US wars of imperialism (and continuous integration into the US military machine), the argument of the “common values” argument seems to be losing reliability.

Take two stories from the United States overnight. Nine Newspapers Michael Koziol He took a great story In the opinion of a Jerry Hendrix, an assistant director (defense) at Donald Trump’s Management and Budget Office. Hendrix complained long time About how the United States Navy has the same number of ships that the Navy has during the Cold War and how the US needs Build much more submarines To fight China.

Koziol reported that Hendrix was afraid of AUKUS – not only because of the tension in the US submarine production, but “Given the political parties in Australia, I am not sure that the next administration will provide a similar support to AUKUS as the current government does… Because Australians are remarkable.” This statement was made a year ago.

This is an expert in a power position that seems to be misunderstood that the coalition will not support AUKUS under Trump administration. I wish it was true – and if only the Australians were really undecided about Aukus. In fact, even when we registered for tens of billions of dollars in the short term and in the long term, there was a two -party silence conspiracy to protect Aukus from studying. Peter Dutton could have had a very different fate if he had gone to the election that promised to collapse Aukus. Hendrix has no bloody clue.

Meanwhile, the depths of the Epstein scandal of the Republican Controlled Representatives House in the depths of Throes decided Pedophil Jeffrey Epstein, a Republican -led, Donald Trump (a supplier of conspiracy theories about Epstein’s connections with the democrats for a long time) to publish more information around him to publish more information around his colleagues. Trump blames Barack Obama of betrayal as well as other distracting elements to help him get away from Epstein.

The US democracy stops the motor room to prevent the possibility of revelation about Trump’s behavior. sexual predation and allegedly rape Rooted and does not care about supporters) In the garbage of the US political norms in maga republicism and the steady drift of the United States to authoritarianism. However, it shows that those in the United States are not only related to Trump or his greedy family or caries administration, but covering the entire US political system.

What kind of common values have Australia’s common values with a political system managed by a thief Carny Barker, who has an increasing Horors House version of democracy and has a criminal record? There is no common commitment to democracy – Trump tried to make a coup in 2021, and the Republicans have protected him since then. There is no common commitment to the superiority of law in a country where the Supreme Court was stacked by Trump and acts as the judiciary Praetorian guards. Considering the continuous pressure of women, African Americans and immigrants, there is no common commitment to human rights. There is no common commitment to more uncertain ideas such as providing a security network for their citizens or meeting the agreements made in good faith or not interfering with the work of other countries or not all of us benefit from a stable global trade system.

How many values can you share with a Mafioso -style figure like Trump?

The argument of the crowd of “shared values” is that political personalities come and go, but values are eternal and a common date is never forgotten. However, values may change and change on their own, rapidly. Even the fiery pro -American defense Shill admits that the US has changed. And he keeps doing this. It is no longer a serious country where Australia shares the basic values and can rely on trade, security or something else. The values are not something known for ordinary Australians, but the more and more of the extreme right trolls.

At one point, we will have to apply the claim that we resorted to China to the United States – we may have a relationship with you, but we have nothing in common.
