Australia, a “giant kangaroo that serves as a dog of the US”. I don’t know who said that. I think it was someone in China – but could have been an enlightened person anywhere.

I’ve said the same myself many times, though I normally use the ‘puppy dog’ or ‘lapdog’ analogy since Australia has not yet fully grown up.
