Currently Australia is hosting the biennial (US dominated) "Talisman Sabre" military exercises at several locations around Australia - all on Department of Defence properties that are not accessible to the citizens of Australia. See quotation from link below:

"...Over the next three weeks, more than 35,000 military personnel from Australia and partnering nations will deploy across Queensland, Northern Territory, Western Australia, New South Wales and Christmas Island. For the first time, activities will also be conducted outside of Australia in Papua New Guinea.

In addition to the United States, forces from Canada, Fiji, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, and the United Kingdom will join as partners.

Malaysia and Vietnam will also attend as observers..."

"Talisman Sabre" is a war-mongering exercise that supports and prepares for USA's maniacal war with China that will create nothing but unwarranted universal death and destruction.

The US is waging World War3. It can do a lot of damage, but I really don't see how they can win in the long term.

The vassal states are all lining up with the US. Australia in particular is brown-nosing Trump. But the reality is the US would be batshit crazy to try military action against China.

Hi Rachel, please read and share this op-ed I recently published: https://fightthewarmachine.substack.com/p/commentary-war-with-china-to-defend

It has some important action items at the bottom. A war with China does NOT have to happen!

Given that defending against an apparently endless series of proxy threats is a recipe for long-term failure, is it not time to attack the source? The US is globally exposed and its ability to project force could be severely limited. Why would the US take any notice of BRICS opposition if it never manifests itself coherently?
