Australia and the World around her
•
by calibur
There has been some question as to what will happen to Australia when the CP elections come around the Indonesians will either be ruled by either an Indonesian or a Romanian. This has spurred many discussions across all boards of communications and will most likely be the focus of discussion amongst politicians for quite some time, but I am not here to discuss this topic alone. I am here to discuss with you Australia and foreign relations.
For the longest time there have been thoughts that Australia is in the middle of “rebuilding” and that there is “still work to be done”. Well, I’ve been observing the current political situation and I believe this to be completely false. We are an established nation and the time for policy making is quite over, it is time for Australia to enter into the greater world. We have led lives of isolationism towards the world for several reasons. I believe that the time has come for us to stop this way of thinking and to finally say that we are more than ready to become active globally. We live in a world that is constantly changing, and should the Romanians take control of Indonesia this world will be an extremely different one. Should the Romanians take control, then the playing field will be leveled and more powers will come up around the world. I say that we, as Australians, should try our very best to ride this wave and become one of the most influential nations in the eWorld. Many of you will doubt that we could ever become that powerful, to which I say to you “Ye of little faith, know that it is through the people that countries achieve strength and power”. (Yeah, I just made up that quote) It is up to you, the citizen, to take Australia to that next step, it is up to you. The power of the people, if united and strengthened in one voice, can do anything that is imaginable.
The time has come for us to stop being under the influence of Indonesia, which in no way means to be enemies with them. We have had an interesting relationship with Indonesia to say in the least, from them being our conquerors to them becoming our friends. But, we need to stop dictating our foreign policy according to whether or not Indonesia will like it or not. If they are truly our friends then they will allow us to be what we are, a free nation. We are a free nation my fellow Australians, a sovereign nation in which we are able to make our own decisions. We must make our own foreign policy decisions, for the good of our nation. Now, this is not to say that we should hate Indonesia, they have been good friends to us and I feel that we should officially sign a non-aggression pact with them. This would allow us to go out into the world and spread our wings.
So this leaves us with one final question. And that question is what do we do if we enter the world? Do we join alliances? Do we go to war with everyone? My personal thoughts, and I hope yours as well, is that we should enter into an alliance. I feel that this alliance should consist of Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada. And, should there be some sort of miracle and they get organized, the United States should enter into an alliance as well. These nations have all been unofficial friends, some of them (the UK and Canada) are famous for harboring Australians during the Indonesian occupation of Australia. This alliance would be a strong friendship which has lasted for quite some time, an alliance in which we would become active all around the world. This alliance would benefit Australia by leaps and bounds, creating for us an opportunity to become one of the most influential countries in the world.
Australia, the train of opportunity has come for our great nation. The time has come for us to step out into the world and start becoming involved with world politics. Australia, the time is now and we can’t pass up this opportunity ever again. If you feel that the time has come for us to step out into the world, vote this article up! And never forget, through thick and thin, no matter what happens. We are Australians, some of the proudest and nicest people I have ever known! Always remember!
LONG LIVE AUSTRALIA!

Voted.
I still don't trust you, but voted.
Good idea, I like this concept.
What WL said
eUK & eCanada are pathetic eNations.
"The power of the people, if united and strengthened in one voice, can do anything that is imaginable."
But whose 'one voice' would that be ?
It's hard to see anyone with the leadership qualities required from the current mass of bickering politicians that currently represent the eNation.
So who would step forward and lead eAustralia into the global spotlight ?
*Fully agree with your sentiments, the time is right for a new eAus to emerge.
I read this and think here is a person that has a head on their shoulders that can think for themselves other than what the "Old Boys club" would like us to think..
Voted, though I believe we should be more careful about who (and how quickly) we ally ourselves with. True the eUK and eCanada have helped us in the past, but is forming an alliance with them truly the best for eAustralia?
Note, I say all this as a mere citizen, I am only basing this off of what I have heard of those eCountries.
an anglo alliance? how imaginative :/

Although this sounds good on paper, the problem is with alliances, is you have to backup your friends.
Oh, you say, thats the whole point of an alliance, well, if you look at the track records of the countries you say in terms of conflicts,international matters and the like...I'd rather not want to get involved with them, until they sort themselves out first.
IMO its not a question whether we are ready or not, its a question if the other anglo nations are ready or not.
It's too bad Cal cannot be trusted with such power and has such a horrible history of mistrust. AGREED with WL.

"It's hard to see anyone with the leadership qualities required from the current mass of bickering politicians that currently represent the eNation."
I could not agree more. I truly believe you will see a major revolution on the horizon with a massive change in our countries leadership over the next couple months. It has begun already and the new people are putting MANY new innovative ideas and programs in place. The old government that demands total control and conformity to their beliefs will be steamrolled out of power. These new leaders are quietly working in the background as support is gathered by our citizens.
VOTED as I vote on every article I comment. 🙂

Nice - Good luck guys!
LONG LIVE AUSTRALIA! 😁
Ha-ha. The alliance reminded me of the British Empire. 😉
I agree, long live Australia!
Another course could be starting with the Anglo and adding some Asian spice...Phillipines, Malaysia, Singapore...and any non-aligned smaller countrie around the globe.
LONG LIVE AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, cal. Cristi Badea commented on your article. You are a demi-god.
It's a great idea.
Voted
Who will be the one voice....not Calibur thats for sure.
Voted. But full of mistrust.
I'd be more comfortable with this if the USA and UK governments were competent.

Well I came here to read this because the admin suggested it, but I immediately read posts calling eCanada and eUK pathetic. At least we have all our territory and haven't been slapped around by a bigger country! Hmph!
*Storms out*
Hey, how about some anti-USA alliance? 😃
Good article,
nice article 🙂
The faster we move from under the thumb of eIndonesia, the better.
We should actively help the new South American nations. The eUSA alliance with eBrazil does not bode well for the newbies, especially since eIndonesia and eBrazil tango so well already - ask poor eSouth Africa... oops you can't, they swallowed it.
i like the idea 😃
eAustralia has been a nation of can'ts too scared to get involved.
good thinking i must say. but still, i think you cant really go without getting involved with eIndonesia right now. if i remember it correctly, the agreement between eAustralia and eIndonesia says that there're some alliances you should not get into, that is if you want eIndonesia keep on honoring their part of the agreement, which is returning of your regions.
so, i think if you really want to act freely without any worries about what eIndonesia think, then at least you do it after you got all your "promised to be returned" regions or maybe you choose to let eIndonesia keep the regions that havent been returned yet just for the sake of your total political freedom? well, ask yourself if its really worth it.
an eAllies,interesting to see how this one develops itself.
Wonderful article!
Voted, subscribed, agreed.
The US has become much more organized in our military, economy, and diplomacy, since Scrabman has been President for a few months.
He is very cautious, though.
Speaking the same language, we have a natural affinity with Australia, and US public support is definitely on your side.
The problem is how to extricate yourselves from your Indonesian "friends".
The US won't engage in a war it can't win, no matter how moral.
But I would love to see an Australia free and unified, and I will push for that as a US citizen to the extent I can.
