"Therefore if this is true who are they going to attack first, not any of the big countries that could, would retaliate but Australia is a good choice as they deem us a pushover"
Well I guess they could literally attack first ,
The CCP could send an aircraft carrier and destroyers into the Indian Ocean , then detour and anchor up at Port Headland then just take over the Pilbara , and tell Canberra if it attacks the fleet it will nuke Sydney .
The White house did not expect Japan to attack Pearl Harbor so always go to be prepared for the unexpected, difference is the Japanese Admiralty respected the USA , where as there is no respect of the CCP to Australia .
