    Yep, the only question I have is: When China invades Taiwan, how will we respond?

    I’m assuming we’re going to immediately look at the USA to see what they do

      Thats it, i think. Send a token force alongside whatever the US does?

      The problem i have with Australians at the moment is we’re not really thinking very clearly about the practicalities of the changing global order. We should be increasing the size of our military as quickly as possible, whether that means a reinteoduction of conscription i dont know, but i find it surprising defence and government officials aren’t bringing up these issues with the Australian public more. I think the best example of this discourse, was Malcolm Turnbulls series of defence diacussions at the beginning of the year.
