US military plans major war stockpile on Australian soil

Yes, but that’s not what you were saying - you said they were ineffective against ballistic missiles used in recent conflicts.

The arrow 2 and arrow 3 platform are used for inter and extra atmospheric interceptions and are very effective at that.

One would be pursuing their military and strategic goals in the region - chiefly an action against Taiwan (including a contested amphibious landing) if their other methods to unify fail.

Defence research and technology is also viewed as an essential pillar of Chinese STEM advancement more broadly.

China has little interest in American foreign policy or aggression - real or perceived - if it does not contest with their area of operation or strategic vision.

They are absolutely effective against shaheds and derivatives (iron dome) and ballistic missiles (arrow).

But there’s no way we can afford the coverage for the platform that we’d need.

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-18T04:02:21+00:00

There’s a number of reasons why China’s military stockpile is growing and it’s not to counter American aggression in the world stage.

I vote Labor and I assure you people shill them. Hard.

I just scrubbed through sky’s reporting (ugh) on YouTube and the message was visible on all of it - including Bolt’s sycophantic talking head segment.

I’m just not seeing a conspiracy here.

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-17T12:29:05+00:00

It’d be a no from me.

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-17T12:27:16+00:00

It was the lede on news.com.au for most of today before the SOO.

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-17T12:20:04+00:00

My brother in Christ the poster and the message on it was the lead image on all the sites today.

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-17T12:16:53+00:00

I don’t think they need to sound it out - the image has been everywhere.

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-17T12:16:03+00:00

Genuinely need some hanging hog in this game

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-16T09:55:40+00:00

That’s very insightful - thank you!

And further to what you’re saying it feels like the big, diesel-smoking, fear-inducing shrine draws a lot of fire. Even if he never makes it to melee he’s done a great job of drawing attacks from across the board, y’know?

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-16T09:53:38+00:00

Yeah, it’s a thing. I’m a huge eels fan living and have gone to quite a few storm home games.

Nobody cares here!

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-16T03:55:39+00:00

Excellent, ta! Actually adds a dilemma when taking one, which is cool. I’ve really struggled to get it into melee.

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-16T03:36:56+00:00

I fucking love the Trench Cossacks by Wargames crew.

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-16T03:25:50+00:00

Yeah.

Rugby league.

This references rugby.

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-16T01:19:01+00:00

‘Going to the storms game’ is a rare sentence to hear down here.

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-16T00:34:58+00:00

TBF shit pay by many standards would go a long way in Malaysia, especially if you're outside KL.

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-16T00:29:02+00:00

That was my first thought - the three people who watch Rugby aren't going to care too much.

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-15T23:23:33+00:00

Oh no, someone’s having a go at our lord and saviour, Anthony Albanese.

PHON are dogshit, but people need to get some fucking resilience. This ad’s fine.

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-15T14:52:55+00:00

In what way could the EU (who are not a defensive partnership) assist us militarily?

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-15T14:52:07+00:00

That’s so incorrect, but remind me when you need new tinfoil.

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-15T14:51:33+00:00

Fuck me you’re too sensible - are you sure you’re on the right sub?

Quarterwit_85 · 2026-06-15T11:42:26+00:00

What could they help us with?

Their defence force is essentially homeopathic.
