CCP threatens Australia

[harryopal1]

Australia's has just cancelled a $90Billion submarine deal with France and decided instead to build 8 nuclear submarines with assistance from the UK and the US. This has really upset the French and, notwithstanding that Australia will not develop nuclear weapons, enraged the Communist Party of China. Just watched a Chinese spokesman on ABC TV saying that in the event of conflict with the US and it's Australian ally, Australia must now expect to be hit with nuclear weapons.

Of course CCP spokespeople will insist we are the belligerent ones and if we are hit with nuclear weapons it will be our fault. Personally I have no great faith in the long term safety of nuclear plants or nuclear powered subs or whatever. And I suspect a snap poll might show that the majority of Australians are anti nuclear. Whatever, time to start digging shelters or, as people were advised in the 50s in the event of nuclear attack, take cover under a table.

Sure waving a red flag in front of the CCP and boasting "we have a forever alliance blablabla" was going to attract some reaction.
Not that China is even a little bit stressed about it IMO .

ABC TV new this evening says Taiwan is preparing for war with China and is calling for allies such as Australian to step up in support. If war were to start I suspect it would be over while Australians twiddled their thumbs wondering what to do. On the other hand if there were a quick response by the US I guess we would quickly fall in to line. Then, according to the CPC , we can look forward to finding nuclear missiles heading our way. And we thought Covid was threatening.
