Congratulations on reaching this milestone, I have a lot of catching up to do !!
I am impressed by the noise to signal ratio as well as the diversity and quality of discourse that I have witnessed on this site and hope that I can contribute meaningfully as I explore politics and myself here.
A big thank you to everyone who has contributed to this community. Especially those handling all the difficult, time consuming and tedious behind the scenes operations.

With AUSTRALIA (amongst others). Australia has collaborated/ supported every US led war since it switched its allegiance from the previous global hegemonic power Great Britain. This is due to its dependence on international trade, which requires access to sea lanes. Mutual dependency/ cooperation is preferable to "pure" dependency (terminology?).
Sorry for wandering off topic but this negligence/ ignorance vexes me.
