TIME TO CANCELL $400 BILLION AUKUS SUBS !!!, page-69

Yes, invasion is highly unlikely now.

Imagine though, a mix of the top and any other listed future circumstances;

- Australia & the US relationship drifts apart as we did not help share the burden in the Pacific

- Future Australian Government heavily increases taxes on resource export industries (IO, coal, natural gas)

- Future Australian Government bans foreign ownership in certain industries

- Future Australian Government nationalizes certain industries

- Future food & water shortages, or other system shocks

The the equation begins to change

The Chinese aren't building nuclear powered subs & aircraft carriers so they can just float around in the South China Sea

I'm sure most invaded nations have, at some point, said "yeah but we trade with them so it should be all sweet"

Truth is, we don't know what will happen in the future. Best bet is to make ourselves indispensable to the US and use their security umbrella

Cheers!
