The real question is: why is Australian political decisions about deployment to the US' war determined by Trump's paranoia?
No, that's not the real question. The real question is, why is this in “Australian Politics”?
The article doesn't even mention Australia in passing. We're well aware that our politics is linked to the USA but that doesn't make all USA foreign policy worth posting in this community. This is a federated platform, most of us see posts from other communities where this post should be made.
The post isn't merely about the article or US foreign policy though... It's about Australian foreign policy and our politicians' decision to be Trump's lapdog.
Since people in this community are so well aware of the link, they may be inclined to discuss this major foreign policy decision from our politicians in this community dedicated to australian politics.
