The era of the Americans dominating the world 'has just about gone'
The era when Australia could always know the Americans were going to dominate the world is just about gone, according to Liberal senator Jim Molan.
"We have got the best defence force at the moment that I've seen in 50 years exposure to the defence force," he told Sky News host Paul Murray.
"But it all belongs to another era. It belongs to that era when the Australian Defence Force could always know that the Americans were going to dominate the world - now that period has just about gone.
"And the Americans themselves really understand that Russia, China, North Korea and Iran are far, far stronger than they used to be."
