Just rip that bandaid off, we're going into an economic crisis anyways, at least let's get rid of our dependence on American products and influence so we can start being our own country.

Depending on the US for anything is bad policy these days. I'd love to see the entire rest of the world collectively exclude them from the global economy. But of course the oligarchs won't allow that.

We have a federal election next month, with candidates that have a lot of similarities with the US situation last November. It's going to be a good indicator of what kind of country Australians want.
