I think this commentary is mostly baloney. Yes the USA is a big problem in many ways and I do not believe we can trust it to act rationally and morally. Still the salient point is that its interests align with ours. It is a natural ally now as it was in the 1940s when Japan was a threat to both the USA and Australia.
The USA has certainly never been unfriendly to Australia. We really do not want to find out what it might mean to "find our security in Asia" as some people keep saying if the USA gave up the west Pacific to China's sphere of interest. The fact that the USA invests in defence assets in Australia is the best assurance that they need us just as we need them - probably the best basis for an alliance that there could be.
I suspect Albanese's aims included making America more dependant on us for essential resources, attracting investment for processing minerals here, while avoiding a current diplomatic stoush.
In other words, it was crisis management, based on the truth that Trump will only be around for 3 more years, and there will be life after Trump.
The Australian Labor Party's continued support for AUKUS and the Force Posture Agreement are echoed in their continued gutless support for the Israel settler colonial G3n0c1d3 in another year of semitic Arab slaughter by Israelis, and US imperialism. The ALP is established now as the team that prioritizes Germanic (Yiddish, German, Polish, English) Imperialism over Universal Human Rights. PM Albo (& the other Zioni elitists) support public funding for US troops annexing our land ('on rotation here'), while Aussies cannot get enough Public housing. ALP (PM Albo & the Zionist Envoy & Premier Minns) give extraordinary powers (de-prioritizing our existing Universal Human Rights laws) to Zionis to decide who can and who cannot legally criticize their Israel settler colonial G3n0c1d3. The ALP bends over backwards for the oligarchs of the worst foreign G3n0c1d3 regime, and the worst Imperialist empire, while Aussies get Authoritarianism, Austerity, Privatization, and Deregulation. And RWNJs think the ALP is left wing?! More like center right liberal Democrat on most things, and hard right on Foreign, Defense, Immigration, and Trade. Remember, this is the Party opposing the High Court to send residents to offshore detention at huge cost, just because it couldn't legally send them back to their original Nations. I'd say the ALP is 2/3 the way to becoming Another Liberla Party. I hope voters recognize all the sacrifices Aussies are being forced by the ALP to make for the US Empire, and its Forward Operating Base Israel, by the ALP pouring money and laws into prioritizing US and Israel dominance over Australian necessities. I hope readers pro-actively message, campaign, and vote to support a return to the peace and egalitarianism once ours, and ours again, if we campaign for it.
