Another idiot in government

Army is always prepared for fighting

what any sane member of Parliament would be doing is working on PREVENTING the next war

it's clear that there's friction with China ----------- it's also clear that the USA -- our 'supposed' friend - is not helping

it's also clear that our supposed friend might be the first to fire shots at China

it's not clear how China would respond

What is clear is that every time Australia has gone to the coat tail wars with the USA (our friend) since WW2 ----------- we have lost

as has the USA

what is history that might not be repeated if the idiotic USA does fire on China - is that China might be different to all the others -

China might attack - they well may attack Australia

(I couldn't give a poo if they attacked America)

now - that's different for Oz

If one studies all of the conflicts that the USA has been in and lost since WW2 -

what should be obvious is that it would have been far cheaper and more peaceful to leave things alone

now - if one cannot leave things alone because one is an interfering world policeman -

then - a wise course would have been to ask the bad guys what exactly they wanted -------------------- and, allow them to have it - without having 20 year wars and losing anyway.

So to China ------------------- what do they want ??

I suggest they might want Taiwan and they might want to control the shipping lanes for peaceful trade - as is their very very very long history -

so - a wise course of action would be -------------- allow them to have it

either that - or fight either a war that America and Australia cannot possibly win - at the potential cost of Australia actually being seriously attacked - and, perhaps even America being attacked on it's own soil

we need to learn - if the might of America with some little helpers couldn't beat Vietnam -then, they sure as poo won't be able to beat China

Hastie should well know that the Australian Infantry goes into a fight wanting odds in it's favour ----------- about 3:1 min.. - not smart to go in otherwise

for Oz to be in a fight with China - the odds are about a bazillion to 1 ------- their favour

Oz would be no more than a little political chip in the game - and, at the same time on the way to a monster defeat --------- we'd of course lose trade

going to be a really really bad scene if we go with our 'friend'

AGAIN

i have said for years that the next big war Australia fights will be one without america or britain as back up.

which is why ive always advocated a decent well armed service with a few nuclear armed warheads capable of being fitted to aircraft and or missiles.

doesnt change the truth of what he said tho - an army not prepared for violence isnt worth a cracker. talk is cheap and when one party is resolved to an armed conflict your friendly banter at the embassy isnt worth a grain of salt

you will only have peace if you are prepared for war
