OK, I've always been willing to consider the alternative if the evidence allows. It's nothing to me. I just haven't met a single other Australian with such antipathy to the US. I don't know anybody in the US who reciprocates that anger toward Australia either.
His posts make no sense either. US aligns with NATO allies after Putin invades Ukraine and luke rants "bbbut Hiroshima" and "bbut Afghanistan". The logic eludes me.
So I've always been willing to consider the possibility that he's not a Chinese troll, but the alternative is as likely from what I know of him.
I am not making up that Chinese are waging psy ops campaigns in Australia:

He's never said squat about that. Not even when I mention it to him. It's always bad US this, bad US that.
He's on ignore, so not big deal. Just speaking my mind.
