Here’s how I see it playing out..(one of many fragments & possibilities) . the communist here manage to convince their “Land of the Art of War” they’ve got everything under control. Don’t worry about our military, you’re good to go by 2027. No need for violence, right? We can just take over without firing a single shot! The CCP will do what they said they are going to do, they will pull a Singapore in WWII kind of move on Taiwan. Then as all colonist armies do they push on to capture as much territory as they can, they play “Go” not “Chess” unconventional warfare that doesn’t quite reach the level of an all-out war. Rusty old cargo ships along with their naval militia .. ships packed with war refugees heading our way, and maybe some armed insurgents hiding among them, along with missiles conceal shipping containers. They calculate that democracies won’t sink old cargo ships full of desperate war refugees—and honestly, they have a point because we are known for our compassion as it is part of our ANZAC spirit.
We need a National Civil Defence blueprinted today on the Switzerland’s model, we’re in big trouble! Sorry to say it bluntly, but we might be screwed. fighting force. And who knows, down the line, I could see Putin switching sides. If Stalin could do it, why not him? We do have land along with minerals that Russians want and the CCP will be a threat to the Federation in the future. Wouldn’t that be something a Communist country defending a Democracy, a Midway akin to WW2 because the Yanks, bless their souls, will still be bleeding in Hawaii this time around 🙁
