Conflict with China a ‘high likelihood’, says top Australian general

that “Australian diplomacy ought to be identifying the off-ramps that will avoid this nightmare” of war over Taiwan.Alex Ellinghausen

China was on the one hand talking the language of “co-operation, where we all have happy families”. But, along with the “Russia and North Korea and Iran and all the other aligned states”, Beijing was competing with Australia in “the grey zone”. General Findlay said that to “stop war from breaking out” Australia’s military must compete against the “coercive constraints” imposed on Australia by China. In undertaking its own grey zone missions, Australia’s aim was to “put the adversary at a disadvantage, put us at an advantage” and avoid war.

“We have got a cultural and professional transformation that is more significant than anything else that is going to occur in the ADF,” General Findlay said.

Ageinvestigates Gallo_Ways FEAR!! By the LNP. It’s almost an election and which card do they play. The one they have played for the last 20yrs!!! Ffs! Australia don’t be fools again!!

Ageinvestigates Gallo_Ways Only if we push for it.

Ageinvestigates Gallo_Ways The only deterrant Australia could possibly have for China is the nuclear bomb and we don't have any of those. Yet.

Ageinvestigates Gallo_Ways Absolutely 💩

Ageinvestigates Gallo_Ways If we think China’s assertiveness will hurt our interests, we are going about it in the wrong way. No objectives, unclear messages to China, firing noisy barbs to dozens of directions and no idea of pain points. We are like a child screaming pointlessly that they will end war.

Ageinvestigates Gallo_Ways More diplomacy, less gunboat, please.

Ageinvestigates Gallo_Ways If any of this was valid...Morrison et al would have already made plans for the Antarctic escape solution.

Ageinvestigates Gallo_Ways By starting this and then doubling down at every opportunity the Australian government created this problem . Rah rah rah nationalism might help Morrison but he and his team are a massive liability to our national security

Ageinvestigates Gallo_Ways Always have to have a bogey man to justify the outrageous defense expenditure.

Ageinvestigates Gallo_Ways War what is it good for absolutely nothing

Ageinvestigates Gallo_Ways

Ageinvestigates Gallo_Ways I smell election strategy.

Ageinvestigates Gallo_Ways Good to see the armed forces doing God's Work to get Morrison re-elected off the back of some cheap, easy xenophobia. Chinese Overboard!

So they dwell on the negative and the 'scary'!!! But thinking people, with multiple sources of information, can see right through it..
