Perhaps all the "experts" on defence should get a go at it; because the politicians, the public servants and the military brass don't seem to have a clue. Particularly Defence Minister Marles.

Or, how about Defence announcing a “ best essay" competition on the matter to get a few clues

There are no Australian defence experts, show me one.

It is just as well President Trump has named Australia as one of the countries that the US doesn't 'need help from anymore'.

We can't even help,ourselves; and Trump might not want to help us when trouble inevitably comes knocking on our door - unless it is in America's interests.

And, why would he? The "experts" spreading BS here and elsewhere have been banging on about the US no longer being "reliable" ally.

"It is just as well President Trump has named Australia as one of the countries that the US doesn't 'need help from anymore'."

Trump is working for his Zionist masters. AND name one country which is helping the mad dog in the White House with the illegal war he started. There are no clear objectives, other than to kill as many innocent men, women and children as you can, and the bastards are betting on it. HOW DISGUSTING!
