China getting pushy, and Russia in a hot war with the West, things need securing, and just ..... letting it all slide because the spectre of war in bothersome, is simply irresponsible. Here's to the Free world, long may it reign.

War is irresponsible, but a multipolar world is not. This is the US securing Australian alignment with the West, nothing more, nothing less.

What do Australians get out of it? Fuck if I know. Their largest trading partner is China. They're rather isolated from US support in the event of a hot war. They really benefit the most from peace and non-alignment tbh.
