Seriously, our two big-boy best friends have always been China and the US. Now tensions are really coming to a head we're going to side with the failed state of the US? I don't understand anything about foreign policy.

Australia as a 5 eye's member is an imperial vassal state, it doesn't have an independent foreign policy, it is completely subservient to the American empire and the will of Washington.
This btw is also the case for all NATO members.
Australia will always be stuck being very dependent on whatever regional naval power there is due to island logistics. Right now, it's the United States. However, China makes up 69.7% of Australia's entire export market. There has been speculation that China would be Australia's number 1 ally as soon as China forms enough of a navy to be regionally dominant in Oceania.
and that's happening, I've heard China has started using the sea to hide their submarines

hey, that's cheating!
yeah it's foolish to assume China will try to be the new world police after thwarting American hegemony, but it's still up in the air if they'll decide to play god in Oceania
they're definitely building their navy, I didn't mean to be sarcastic about that. I guess I just couldn't help mentioning that article it always makes me laugh
Australia bailed on the Brits once the empire crumbled, we will do the same to the Yanks
yay :3
Fairweather friends smdh my darn smh
Remember when we tried to not be and got a Very Aussie Coup out of it.
