What is AUKUS? it’s a iron clad military alliance between Australia, UK and US (AUKUS) who are already strong allies of each other. The aukus pact was made public on the 15th September 2021. AUKUS pact signatories identify countries in the agreement who are a threat, have a concrete plan to combat these threats and agree to act militarily to defend each other.
This is the security dilemma. One country can never be certain of another countries intentions, even if Australia is arming itself for peaceful purposes, no other country can truly be certain. So instead, countries only focus on capabilities.
I’d like to argue that from China’s strategic point of view, launching a nuclear attack on Sydney Australia could be a move the CCP would implement, if cornered by USA and it’s allies. Australia is difficult to invade, so a missile strike would be a better option. This would make all other nations in Asia think twice before messing with China, plus it’s also the most cost effective strategy. Then, in the aftermath, the over 1 million Chinese diaspora would have more freedom to assert their claims from within Australia.
Australia is now officially a dictatorship, we used to criticise the CCP for their dictatorship, yet only a few years later we have followed in their footsteps. Australian police patrol the streets harassing anyone they like, fining people for arbitrary reasons that change everyday. All online activity can now be monitored by the police and we have seen a comedian’s employee arrested for criticising the government, just like in China.
The most basic of cost benefit analysis would show that protecting trade throughout the middle east made zero sense considering the United States is a net exporter of crude oil. Plus they are only protecting the safety of oil movements throughout the middle east for allies and ironically their enemies, which is quite hilarious when you read the MSM propaganda on this topic.
Will China launch an invasion on Taiwan in 2021? And, is this purely a political move or is it strategic? I’d argue that this is mostly a strategic move for China to secure their maritime trade, instead of simply a political move to appease a domestic audience. It makes no sense why they would want to kill their own people, and yes, the Taiwanese are mostly of han Chinese decent.
