As for Australia's idea of being the deputy dawg for the anti-China US military in Asia, with the object of cutting China's trade routes whenever necessary...whilst having good trade relationships with China...with our politicians simply 'outsmarting' the Chinese (hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha) well, that was never a good idea. You can't have a leg on both horses when they are running in different directions. That will really really hurt you. Idiots.
