Australian Foreign Policy Incompetence

"US anger at Britain joining Chinese-led investment bank AIIB" are the headlines of a Guardian report of 13 March 2015. "Cabinet split over Asian bank' after UK's shock support" are the headlines of a Melbourne Age report of the same date.

They highlight a British resolve in the face of a world undergoing rapid transformation, especially in financial power and in respect of Chinese influence. They also reflect the disarray of an Australian government preoccupied with personal ambitions amongst its leaders and led astray by the mono-cultural character of its foreign affairs minister and establishment. Of course, the British decision on the AIIB would have been driven by the City of London, which is much more knowing and experienced in these matters than is likely to be the case with an Australian government.

Nevertheless, this is perilous for Australia at a time when previously dominant English speaking maritime powers are in danger of being marginalized by the multi-cultural transformation of more than 4 billion people likely to make up a dynamic, emerging Eurasia, (or Eurasafrican), continental trade zone networked by very fast train and other technologically advanced overland connections.

Imagine how well placed we'd be if the US sheep dogs hadn't carried out orders to eliminate our Chinese speaking PM for US interests? But no. We put our money on yesterday's man.
