I never heard such crap, Americans are optimistic for the first time since Trump's last term. Trump wasn't unprepared before, he was obstructed in his first time and he is slightly so in this one. He will MAGA and it will be at the expense of those sleeping…like Australia. We will see the continued growth of the BRICS nations while we will have to wait for many western nations to wake up. Turnbull was your PM?..well I am not surprised.😁😁😁😁
Don't remember this PM.
Defend Australia from Chinese warships? No such thing. All China has to do is to buy iron ore and other things from you.
Another out of touch politician with fixed woke bubble narratives.
Let me guess, the people think if you rip of USA then your are an Ally right ?
"Trump's Chaos Is a Gift to China, Former Australian Prime Minister Says" the irony is this was Malcolm Turnbull wanted china relationships, has Chinese daughter in law, who always advocates china favor is upset or elated that Trump policy will gift china ? does not explain how but here is the china spy at this game. With his comments, he made sure Australia does not get waiver for Steel and Aluminum, yeah taking this opportunity to please his master in china and tools in the comments.
Australia must prioritize our own interests and ensure self-defense capabilities. Foreign military bases should not be permitted on our soil. To effectively defend ourselves, fostering strong relationships with neighboring countries is essential.
When a Neibour parks there car in you drive the Aussie way & nz way is mate get that crap outa my drive or I will stop mowing your lawn & serving your wife so she leaves you alone your call chan !!
Australia is bending over and spreading for the Yanks. Just wait and see about the AUSKUS deal. The money could have been used wisely instead of purchasing submarines to fill the museum.
You want to piss trumpet off order some subs from them we’ll have them next week cheers chan
Well said sir ! Excellent explanation!!! Donald Trump's American reminds me of Mao's China , a big tyrant looming over the American people, all the best for everyone who voted for Donald MAO Trump!!!
MAGA=MAKE AMERICA GO AWAY.
I wouldn't label it "Trump's Chaos" it belongs 100% to the Democrat party. Both times President Trump was in office the Democrats do anything they can think of to put obstacles in his way. They protest, they pay groups to protest all over the country, they try like heck to keep every illegal criminal in the U.S. they don't want them deported. They don't want any taxpayer money saved in any way shape or form. They want money wasted whenever possible because then portions go right into their pockets. Is that the chaos the PM was talking about?
中国并不希望澳大利亚来依靠中国。中国只希望澳大利亚能依靠自己，自己做决定。像一个正常国家一样，而不是美国的殖民地。
The Liberal New World order Have had the their table kicked over.
From President Xi's determined look and expression (8:40–9:12), I can certainly see his undefeatable strength inside……Thanks to Bloomberg TV for presenting these pictures, let me know a man that can be such handsome.
Good on ya Malcolm. Stand up for democracy and freedom.
I've already started learning mandarin, I'm ready for a post-American world. Couldn't be any worse to be fair.
emphasise 'former'.
Turnbull 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Time to love China…
why would anyone listen to this clown!
Wake up fellow vassal states and time to go it alone.
Now when you are not invoker go away
Think positive. CN navy sails to Autralia give Autralia a chance to test their relationship or alliance with Uncle Sam. Obviously Uncle Sam failed Autralia 😂 Besides, I don't think Australia is the main target for CN. They just exercising what Uncle Sam called freedom of navigation.
Australia, just decouple your economy, buying of US debts and imports from USA! There's no benefits but reliance if you don't!
Turnbull the big sook. Go away
He may be Australia's former PM but his approval ranking was about as low as it can get. Grossly unpopular – and still the case.
