The Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty (ANZUS or ANZUS Treaty) is the military alliance which binds Australia and New Zealand and, separately, Australia and the United States to cooperate on defence matters in the Pacific Ocean area, though today the treaty is understood to relate to attacks worldwide.
The treaty was previously a full three-way defense pact, but following a dispute between New Zealand and the United States in 1984 over visiting rights for nuclear-armed or nuclear-powered ships of the US Navy to New Zealand ports, the treaty may have lapsed between the United States and New Zealand, although it remains separately in force between both those countries and Australia.
The Australia–US alliance under the ANZUS Treaty remains in full force. Heads of defense of one or both nations often have joined the annual ministerial meetings, which are supplemented by consultations between the US Combatant Commander Pacific and the Australian Chief of Defence Force. There are also regular civilian and military consultations between the two governments at lower levels. Annual meetings to discuss ANZUS defense matters take place between the United States Secretary of State and the Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs (AUSMIN). The most recent AUSMIN meeting took place in San Francisco in September 2011.
lucid dream
walking in a dark road
followed by an angel
falling from a ba dream
where everything seems real
standing at the crossroads
i’m running out of breath
lost within this underworld
i cannot wake up
i break the mirror
still can see my face
no way to get out of that place
searching a lost key that can take me off this wasteland
the clock is ticking in my head
i beg this shape, give me a break
but i can’t find the path
that’s leading out of my mind
i’ve nowhere to go
but i can fight somehow
free me from my sins
i’m trapped into my dream
with nowhere to go
but i can fight somehow
teach me how
tell me how
i’ll break those walls that stick my mind
hold me now
leave me now
