Sky News contributor Catherine McGregor says Australia is facing its most dangerous era in 75 years as it seems to be moving inexorably towards "another clash of major powers.” The past week has marked some gruesome anniversaries. On 4 August 1914 the First World War began with Great Britain's declaration of war on Germany. On 6 August 1945 the United States detonated an atomic bomb above Hiroshima. The bombing of Nagasaki took place on this day of the same year.

Ms McGregor said the Great War was supposed to be the war to end all wars, however recent disruptions to the global order indicate the world is likely heading toward another clash of powers. “Last week, former prime minister Kevin Rudd - in an article for Foreign Affairs magazine - expressed the fear that we may be perilously close to a 'hot war' between the United States and China,” she said.

FatherBob So Murdoch fans the flames of war with relentless anti-China pro-Trump rhetoric and now you're concerned about the world being on the precipice of conflict. Amazing lack of self-awareness there.

If people are lead into fighting a war by our psychopath leaders... I will take my conscription papers and newly acquired machine gun and not fight over their bullshit.. but I will hunt down those who sent me the conscription order.

History has always shown crises recession depression WAR.God can you imagine our drug aggressive Ferrara having to go to the war if it wasn’t so terrifying it would be funny.

Sky are so keen on a war.

Seeing that the Chinese now have the Darwin Port, they will also have the Melbourne Port, when Dan Andrews sign's up to the Belt&Road with China, that's his game shutting down Victoria now,so he can use China to borrow Billions of dollars, claiming it's to save the state, wake up

Atomic bombings helped bring WWII 'to a sudden close' | Sky News AustraliaWhile the 1945 atomic bombings of Japan were a tragedy, the swift end to the war no doubt saved millions of lives, according to military historian Tom Lewis OAM.\n\nThis week marked the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, which killed more than 100,000 people.\n\nA second attack, which targeted Nagasaki on 9th of August, killed in excess of 80,000.\n\nJapanese Emperor Hirohito announced his nation's surrender on August 15th.\n\nMr Lewis told Sky News the two bombs bought a war, which threatened to drag on into 1946, to a sudden close.\n\n'The Japanese forces fought in World War 2 like you wouldn't believe, 97 per cent of their forces died instead of surrender,' he said.\n\n'For example, every month the war went one, you found 250,000 people dying a week in Japanese-held territories.\n\n'If the War had continued through until the end of 1946 we would have probably seen 30 million Japanese dying and probably one-and-a-half million of our people dying.'\n\n\n I don't deny this opinion but it can't be an excuse for the massacre in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Tommy didnt even mention Russia’s critical entry into war against Japan on Aug 8, nor does Tommy consider whether US concerns about Soviet threat in postwar years played any role in decision to drop A-bombs. Tommy also ignores possibility of a demonstration shot in a remote area. To bad they only had two bombs

Victoria's economic hit 'closer to $20 billion' | Sky News AustraliaFormer ANZ Chief Economist Warren Hogan says the projected $12 billion hit to the Victorian economy sounds realistic, although it may be much higher.\n\n“It sounds like the number that represents a loss of economic activity in Victoria during the stage four lockdowns,” Mr Hogan told Sky News.\n\n“But if we think about the total costs of this, there was some stage three impacts prior to the stage four, then there is going to be the gradual reopening.\n\n“And of course the impact on other states, which will be quite significant. \n\n“But I think the actual figure is going to be closer to $20 billion when all is said and done.”\n China should pay us for damages!
