If you were a Chinese citizen/resident , how would you feel about a US flotilla & airbourne nukes targeting you within 500K of your home?
To appreciate this one has to imagine the US surrounded by Chinese Nukes in warships, aircraft carriers, subs &airborne bombers within easy target reach of the US East & West coasts. I can tell you that the Holliwood Glitterati would be shitting themselves!
This is a form of terrorism, IMO, and Russia & China are also co-responsible.
It seems absurd that the Climate Change activists are protesting about gradual climate change when one deranged press of a button could cause a Nuke chain reaction and fry the planet in a matter of hours.
This is madness on a global scale, IMO. (my Nukes are bigger than your Nukes!)
This is why Aus as a non-Nuke country should be encouraging Nuke disarmament rather than sparring verbally for a US/China war.
IMO, Paul Keating is right in saying that Taiwan is none of our business and that as a member of the UN we should be guided by UN policy on the matter. The UN has recognised Taiwan as part of China since the early 1970s and if we would wish it to be otherwise , then we should rise a motion in the UN to that effect.
In the 1980s some friends of ours migrated to Aus and sold their Berlin Home complete with an atomic bomb shelter to simply get as far away as possible to survive a first strike.
Despite the fall of the USSR & the official end of the Cold War, the only way a regime hostile to the US can defend itself is to Nuke-up (EG:North Korea & Iran)
It is interesting to note that the US did not attack Pakistan (a Nuke Power ) even though it has been (and still is) a training ground for anti-American Muslim militants & a refuge for the Osama bin Laden mob.
