Former Labor MP Michael Danby says Beijing made a brutal calculation to show up Australia’s weakness in the Pacific region with its missile launch in the South Pacific.
A far better discussion on China/geopolitics between three Aussies :
Joel Jenkins and Dr Warwick Powell (QUT) and fmr Major Cameron Leckie .. starts about 2 mins in — those time poor skip to the summary around the 1 hr mark… but then you would miss a great discussion and a bit of history.
A very imaginative concern. Really? You think China is going to invade Australia? Slow news day? I wasn’t a Keating fan, but he sure hit this nonsense out of the park. Maybe we need to work more towards affordable homes so young Australians actually have something to fight for. Just look at the westerners eyeing off nice, cheaper Chinese homes on YouTube channels! They’re not looking inclined at all to jump on the anti-China, fear mongering band wagon! Out of touch dear people!
so China deploying a missile is "brutal" but US continual war games off the China coast, arming Taiwan, enlarging and encircling China with US military bases, continual statements that they will go to war with China, drafting plans for a sea blockade of China, stating their aim re Iran is to choke the oil supply to China - that's all ok - got it
China attack Ben Roberts-Smith from the get go if you remember. ALP Albo Greens will reap what they sow, Disgust! Australia needs to be Productive not Destroyed by the Uni Party with Green Energy that costs double with 50% Increase on Connection Fees.
China power is 10c to 14c aud /kwh. No Manufacturing = No Defense, One Flag One Nation!
What are the points for Australia to attract China's attention and erect Australia as China's target? Any benefit implies in this strategy? For better economy or security? Can't get it.
Are you seriously suggesting that Australia competes in an arms race with China? What a futile exercise that would be. I'd rather have green hydrogen than ICBMs
Australia doesn't have any defence capability whatsoever. The successive governments have gone to sleep at the wheel regarding a military that is capable of more than a minor skirmish. The green ideas have drained all our wealth that could have been used for much better purposes. The Greens/Labor outfit is the most counter productive idealism in our history and continues on like a steamroller travelling downhill with a drunk at the helm, smashing everything down in it's path.
everyone knows that missile is to let US know China's arms strength. China never wants to attack Australia or reckons Australia is a threat, but Australia under the influence of US takes China as a big threat. You media covers lots of negative news about China. One of my colleagues just came back from a trip to China and she feels China is not the country on your media!
Stop panicking!
