Episode 38 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast features Dr Alex Waters in a no-holds-barred second-hour deep dive: Can Australia ever say “no” to the United States? Has AUKUS irreversibly chained us to a dying unipolar order while Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand join BRICS+? Are we sleepwalking into becoming the southern pillar of a new American Monroe Doctrine in Asia? From creeping U.S. nuclear-sub bases on our west coast to the hypocrisy of lecturing ASEAN on democracy while selling coal to juntas, Dr Waters details what should be the most important Australian foreign-policy conversation of the decade.
