Western imperialist is like a running dog
Cowering in the wind of great socialist thinking!
A million people march together as one
None can stop history!
You don't need a reason to start a war. That seems to apply for US and its vassals. Nothing more obvious than in the case of Australia. China is not a geopolitical threat, its largest customer etc and it goes beyond baffling what Australia is doing. And the worst scenario is to sound the war cry when the whole region is stable and busy with real stuff.
Australia seems to want the narrative of war to have the pretext for scapegoating China, like a, "Look what you made me do." This is for indoctrinating the people. Australians will suffer economically through the actions of the government and that will be channeled into the finger pointing towards China. There are no consequences for accepting this lie, only if you don't go along with it.
The prevailing group-think in Australia is based on an addiction to war (clarified by Australian involvement in sequential US-led wars). As with their predecessors, modern day crusaders are also engaging in an ideological war (to transform/integrate other nations into their system they believe to be superior (behavior associated with supremacist ideology). In the process, they have destroyed successive nations through their aggression. But China is not Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya or Syria. While diplomacy remains a priority, China has the capability to retaliate and to impose costs. Indeed, as certain Western bloc nations intensify their adversarial behavior (due to hysteria over the rise of China during the decline of the West), more tangible costs will likely be experienced by those who behave as adversaries of China. Note: In a war scenario, US military simulations establish an unfavorable outcome for the US and its allies in a war scenario against China. Current Australian warnings it will participate in such a war scenario indicate a lack of awareness of these studies.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. Australia - especially with the current government, but it applies to both sides - is the US's yapping poodle. Yap yap yap. It's very annoying, China is telling it to shut up, and if it doesn't stop we can expect adverse consequences.
They won't send missiles or bombs, they'll just destroy our economy as soon as they have arranged alternate supplies of natural resources at acceptable quantities and prices.
And as history has shown us, the US will not lift a finger to help.
