CM,
You’d bomb/missile China?
Scorched earth isrr what Australia would be after China retaliated.

After we salt our land and make it worthless, what do we live on?

Imported food from China?

Woolworths and others already import some foodstuffs from there.

Well Is Mise- you may have experience with small arms- but anyway-

Often salting the earth is accompanied by some sort of withdrawal. Do you really think the Australian people would survive if China came to Oz. At least we could weaken them as we are destroyed.

Perhaps Biden wanted to leave the equipment for the Taliban.

Warfare requires a different sort of thinking.

Paraphrasing Roosevelt- Freedom isn't free.

Perhaps different activities by the west in recent history would have resulted in different outcomes.

With respect Is Mise would you prefer to smooth the Chinese transition into Australia.

Oh or Zero :) .

‘…at least we could weaken them as we are destroyed”

So said the rodent as he tore a tuft of hair off the terrier’s nose.

I visited Hiroshima just 7 years after the Bomb fell, it was still impressive and that was only a ‘little’ bomb.

Keep trying to make your point Is Mise. With respect- I think you just made two contradicting ones.

I guess it's Oh Is Mise.
