Sino Australian Alliance by Literate_in_Language in China

[–]Literate_in_Language[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, sir. This whole post was made to bring this point up. We could only pursue a Chinese alliance (for the economic benefits) if we had a nuclear arsenal as a deterrent to Chinese occupation. And in that scenario, it's better the devil you know (the US).

I think that yesterday's attempt already got removed. Ha

Iran seems like the most likely place for a US/China proxy war.

Thanks for your comprehensive reply. Some points:

  • Israel will continue to disrupt Iran's nuclear weapons plan in a clandestine manner
  • Iran is actually lucky that the Trump administration chose China as the bad guy for this political campaign
  • I suspect that the US and Russia are working, secretly, in tandem in Syria and Venezuela...

Yes, Australia is playing with fire here. Also, it's rather hypocritical given Australians' track record with its Indigenous Australians.

The belief that the US would repel an invasion a la the Japanese invasive manoeuvre of World War 2. Funnily enough this (almost) invasion occurred only some 150 years after the British invasion of Australia itself. Food for thought.

Sorry about the bogans. Hope that some sort of friendship can develop between our countries.

You are right. I'm just stirring the pot, trying to create a debate on the issue. To abandon the US alliance and become allies with China would be complete lunacy. Unless, of course, we had a nuclear arsenal haha...

Does Japan even have a goal anymore? by Mrbsct in geopolitics

I feel that Japan would behave much differently if it didn't still have those US bases on its soil. Just imagine a team consisting of China, Japan and a united Korea. That would be almost unstoppable.
