This was, as usual with Jack, a forensic disquisition on Australia’s continued infantile need for maternal or paternal approval. Whilst I disagree with some of Jack’s contentions the overall direction and conclusions remain valid.
The long standing assumption by the venal and corrupt US elites that they are somehow the “indispensable nation” continues to create massive suffering and pain to much if the world’s population. The self-serving assumption that whatever they decide about how the world should be run, must by its nature be good and wholesome fits poorly with their record of invasion, subversion, plunder and uncontrolled greed.
They continue to believe that it is for them to determine how the people of every country on the planet should be governed and little toddler Australia meekly goes along with the fraudulent assumption. The truth is that the US has never believed in national sovereignty and territorial integrity that are the founding principles of the UN Charter, excpt where they relate to the US itself.
That national conceit has rendered the US as an uncontrolled beast that has caused world-wide havoc and disaster. Its many military failures since 1945 simply presage its empire’s decline. Thank god for that!!
