Retired US Admiral confirms Australian subservience

In relation to our article A subservient defence policy undermines Albanese’s successful first year

Mike Williss, Adelaide, Jun 23, 2023

Many thanks to Margaret Reynolds for such a forthright criticism of Australian subservience to the US in matters of foreign policy and defence. That the United States takes this subservience for granted and has the capacity to compel subservience if ever it was questioned has been made clear in the comments of an (unnamed) retired US Admiral to the editor of the Australia Pacific Defence Reporter, Kym Bergmann. Kym quotes the Admiral’s words in his most recent 20-minute podcast, which should be listened to in full. It is a chilling account of our subservience, and adds to the thrust of Margaret’s observations. It can be heard here.
