As ANZAC Day approaches, many Australians have once again watched on, shaking their collective heads, as their political leaders display the constitution of a wet lettuce when it comes to resisting their American political overlords.

Australia’s Foreign Minister, Julia Bishop, spoke tough when asked about Australia’s position on Nth Korea’s missile tests.

Indeed, she could be mistaken for any American Warhawk Politician, except for her refined Australian accent.

But, accent aside, Bishop parrots the US Foreign Policy well and, projects it with a kind of refined, constipated belligerence.

The way she threatened Nth Korea would’ve delighted her US counterparts, once they’d been reminded of who she was and, in what hemisphere Australia was located.

In a world desperately needing rational debate and diplomatic endeavour, we watch our politicians serve their ego’s instead of their country’s interests.

She may later earn an Oscar for her role as, ‘ best supporting actress in a World War Three Drama’ but, for real people, she failed her call miserably and once again, spoke like a marionette controlled by an American foreign policy God.

She said, “Pyongyang has a clear ambition to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear payload as far as the US.”

That may well be the case but, as soon as she said this, her Australian constituent’s quickly acquired a world map to measure if that meant Nth Korea’s missiles could reach Australia too?

The next question Aussies asked themselves was, if her aggressive rhetoric may make Australia a legitimate Nth Korean target?

Because, it wasn’t before she spoke.

And it didn’t take very long to realise that the answer to both those questions was, Yes!

In a direct response to Bishop, a Nth Korean spokesman was quoted in the official Nth Korean News Agency, KCNA saying, 

“The present government of Australia is blindly and zealously toeing the US line. If Australia persists in following the US moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK and remains a shock brigade of the US master, this will be a suicidal act of coming within the range of the nuclear strike of the strategic force of the DPRK.”

Julia Bishop talks tough for a minister of a country where the majority of its people have never held a rifle, let alone fired one.

Australians get fined just for possessing a sling-shot!  Australians have surrendered their fire weapons in a Government program initiated after the Port Arthur Massacre in 1996.

Considering Australia’s non aggressive history and, its population being comprised of people from most nations of the earth, Australia could play a major role in mediation and advocating peace in this world rather than acting as an American attack dog.

Australia possesses a small military for the size of the country and Australian’s famous laconic attitude expresses itself with a general acceptance of other countries and their cultures.

Australians are not an aggressive people.

However, Australia has watched its politicians voice an aggression and verbosity which is unequal to the force Australia can project.

In 2014 for instance, the world watched the then Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, promise to “Shirtfront” Russian President Vladimir Putin, in an embarrassing display of the lack of statesmanship.

The absence of Diplomacy is evident and now, we again watch Julia Bishop, keep step with this aggressive, yet empty policy.

We in the west have consistently been told that the Nth Korean Leader Kim Jong-Un and, his cadre in power are insane.

However, it seems obvious that if Iraq, Libya, or Yemen possessed nuclear weapons their history may not include being bombed or invaded by US/NATO, or, their allied forces.

This seems to be the thinking behind those ‘insane’ Nth Korean leaders and, based on recent histo
