So is there a case for a bit more straight-talking from Australia when Trump disparages his allies and embarks on poorly considered military frolics? “No,” he says firmly. “The Australian government is not paid by the taxpayer to let fly and give them five seconds of warm inner glow by saying things that wreck the relationship with the US … The idea they should be calling Trump out is just rubbish.”

While Trump’s America may be increasingly erratic and self-interested, Richardson says China’s rise means we need to hug Washington as close as possible and keep it engaged in our region. The key, he says, is to “not allow emotion to get in the way of it”.

oh bullshit! crap & donkey-doos, mr richardson!

what you call "emotion" i call "morality".

i deplore all who regard morality as a tradeable commodity. fuck orf.
