By Daniel Steedman, published 23/4/2018

A distracted president has the potential to leave power vacuums which will be filled by others. This is not in Australia's interest.

"Trump may seek to bolster his position, and electoral chances, by pursuing foreign policy successes." (from the article)

Well it would certainly be a new approach to look for foreign policy successes. The impression is that the previous incumbent had priorities other than success as his aim.

There is no evidence that the DJT is 'distracted' by the domestic efforts to overturn the election. His foreign policy successes to date are impressive and should he pull off a North Korean peace treaty, his place in the pantheon of diplomats will be cemented.

Australia has a problem due to our reliance on China. Governments since Keating have been pushing us in this direction. It will not end well. Pivoting to India ought to be a high priority.

Dear Ttbn,

«Australia does not have all the resources it needs to sustain itself indefinitely. We don't even have the recommended storage of fuel; and our military is more interested in...»

I was referring to the continent of Australia, rather than to the state called "Australia".

The continent of Australia has everything necessary to sustain its inhabitants indefinitely on a nice, decent and wholesome lifestyle, without any corrupting outside influences from this crazy world.
