Episode 38 with Dr Alex Waters discusses if Australia has killed any path to non-alignment while our neighbours pile into BRICS+, if we’re becoming the southern anchor of a new U.S.
Thank you, Joel & Dr Alex Waters, for a good interview. I support and expect better multilateral democracy, better war de-escalation, and better human rights for Aussies than our current cooked US alliance allows. US alliance keeps dragging host nations into facilitating US war crimes.
'Are we the bad guys now?' Yes, so long as we remain in a imperialist US alliance.

Let's instead have the courage for a clean US alliance break, escaping its salami tactics annexation of Australia and the Pacific (via troop deployments/'rotations' on our sovereign soil, and our budget wasted on them), and throw our National efforts behind better democracy, peace, and human rights opportunities. Perhaps join The Hague Group, perhaps just remain neutral with the frankly superior (to the Axis of US imperialism) BRICS. Let's free ourselves from paying (far too much) for the liability of being dragged into the US annexation of our region, by aligning with peaceful, independent nations. This might also aid us in mitigating our apparent slide into authoritarianism and racism https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/these-rates-are-astonishing-victoria-police-s-profiling-problem-laid-bare-in-new-report-20251123-p5nhoe.html This could mitigate European racism & imperialism https://theconversation.com/denmarks-uprooting-of-settled-residents-from-ghettos-forms-part-of-aggressive-plan-to-assimilate-nonwhite-inhabitants-243424 and https://substack.com/home/post/p-179456243. But it needs to be substantive and effective, not just performative tokenism to look good ('talking shop' as Alex said) https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-23/g20-defies-trump-with-leaders-jointly-signing-statement/106041342
