    Looks like China got their “World Power #1” badge early.

    US just threw it all away. Even Peter Dutton (right wing opposition leader) has been alluding to Australia building its own nukes since we can no longer trust the USA for anything.

      Every country should have their own nukes unless they want to become another Ukraine or any other country the US invaded.

          Voting wise, yes-ish, but the disenfranchised people tend to hold opinions from one side or the another anyway, and just don’t bother to vote (which is another completely different problem), plus there’s a few with third-party ideas and fewer still with a ‘let it all burn down they’re both aholes’ mindset in there as well.

          The OP was judging based on the voting results (which these days are very 48-50%/48-50% splits), but condeming the whole population, voters or not.

            Yes. Voting splits can only be considered for the voter turnout and not for general statements of the rest.
