I've always thought it interesting how Australia has those poisonous spiders, snakes, and massive deserts. They just go on for miles, and miles, and miles...
that's irrelevant. It's not the 18th century anymore.
No argument there, but the methods of warfare the Chinese are currently employing are not part of any new or undocumented strategies. They've provided their forces with a variety of objectives well within their means to achieve that aren't subject to the restrictions of time or space.
They're buying land near military facilities, industrial facilities, shipping, transportation, and communication hubs or outright buying them. They're funding education endowments to spread and elevate their ideology while simultaneously subverting local cultures. They're buying interest in key businesses and industries. They're flooding markets with low cost, comparable quality goods to secure capital. They're intimidating diaspora Chinese to cooperate with them. They're building infrastructure around the world including military bases.
"Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."
- Sun Tzu, "The Art of War", bk 3, 2
This is how you wage war against an opponent whose military, and society, you must render impotent in order to achieve victory and dominance over them.
Australia, like many nations still have the space and time to take action, if only to preserve their sovereignty. The question is, do Australians have the determination and resolve to do so?
i'm more concerned about the fucking morons who will be traitors and help the chinese and moslems when something finally happens. if we had total loyalty, we'd manage it... but it's going to be a shitstorm now.
