The alliance between the US and Australia has fostered a distinctive form of dependence. But what if we no longer rely on the US for assistance?

One thought on “The US-Australia alliance has created a unique kind of subservience. What if we don’t need the US to come to our rescue?”

  1. The US-Australia alliance has indeed shaped much of Australia’s defense and foreign policy. However, it’s worth considering the implications of becoming more self-reliant. Strengthening our own defense capabilities would not only empower Australia to respond to regional challenges independently, but also allow us to pursue a more nuanced approach to diplomacy that isn’t solely reliant on US interests.

    By investing in our own military and strategic initiatives, we can enhance our sovereignty and contribute to regional stability on our terms. Additionally, fostering partnerships with other nations in the Indo-Pacific could create a more balanced power dynamic, reducing our over-reliance on any single ally.

    What are some specific steps we could take to build this self-reliance while still maintaining a cooperative stance with the US and other allies?
