Obliged by ANZUS, but would they really?

I feel in the past countries would stick to their commitment for the bigger picture. Now, not so sure. I wonder if they would weigh pros and cons and decide to withdraw or not.

If it aligned with their national interests, yes and generally US and Australian interests do align
