How many shared values do Australians have with Donald Trump and MAGA Republicanism? Virtually none — despite what shills for the US defence alliance insist, writes Bernard Keane.
The United States is a joke of a country. How many 'shared values' does Australia actually have with it?
With Donald Trump's America showing zero commitment to democracy, the rule of law, human rights or free trade, is it time to admit things have changed?

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it:

How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?
