The world's a little bit rooted at the moment and it kind of has a feeling of inevitability that it's going to blow somewhere.
It's not a simple situation, as treaties and alliances seem to be intertwined and in some cases conflicting.
How any Australian Government can limit our exposure to threats, and at the same time fulfill our obligations under such treaties is not an easy task.
Also, with a population of 26M and our geographic location, we are a pimple on the worlds ass. We have zero buying power when it comes to supply of things like cars, medical supplies, building materials etc. I have mates that work for Toyota, they have told me many time how low we are on the pecking order in terms of getting cars. People crapcan companies like big bad CSL, if they weren't here in Australia manufacturing the speciliast drugs they do, we'd be forked.
