“Australia puts itself in front line of US tussle with China” | Imran Khalid

I don't know Dr Imran Khalid freelance contributor from Karachi, but there will be many in Australia who agree with his analysis above, that Australia risks becoming — or at least being seen — as nothing but an American stalking horse. Worse than what we used to be called, "America's Deputy Sheriff". 

Now an actual fully paid-up member of America's military-industrial supply chain, complete with nuclear subs and home-made missiles. All to contain China. Which risks Australian involvement in conflicts not of its making. 

Meantime America shows its distain for its lapdog by refusing our reasonable request to allow our investigative journalist Julian Assange brought back to Australia. That was Anthony Blinken just recently: "yeah, but nah".
