australia just put one massive target on its back in case of a war between china and the US.
if the US uses the australian base to attack china in a war over taiwan or south china sea, then australia will face the possibility of total annihilation.
china will be ruthless towards any aggressors towards the chinese motherland just like china pummelled india into oblivion in the 1962 war when india thought they were some kind of big shot.
u mess with chinese interests regarding the chinese motherland, taiwan, hong kong, macau, south china sea and chinese trade routes, there will be hell to pay.
china will put with this BS for only so long, once the tipping point is reached, then its on for young and old.
personally, i would first target india and wipe them off the map. we should have annihilated them in 1962, we were too nice back then, we should finish the job we started in 1962.
china must use these aggressive behaviours by these regimes as an excuse to dramatically increase military spending and development.
we need to develop more weapons of mass destruction and a military that will be able to fight a multiple threater war in a highly informationized environment. development should include high tech, high precision weapons systems with global strike capability. it should include anti-satellite weapons, cyberwar, energy weapons, microwave weapons, EMP, weather weapons like meridian, nuclear, biological and bioethnic weapons.
