  1. If anyone wants to really understand what is going on, they need a basic understanding of the US strategic concept called the 'Island Chain Strategy'. A brief summary .... "The island chain strategy is a strategic maritime containment plan first conceived by American foreign policy statesman John Foster Dulles in 1951, during the Korean War. It proposed surrounding the Soviet Union and China with naval bases in the West Pacific to project power and restrict sea access. The "island chain" concept did not become a major theme in American foreign policy during the Cold War, but after the dissolution of the Soviet Union has remained a major focus of both American and Chinese geopolitical and military analysts to this day. For the United States, the island chain strategy is a significant part of the force projection of the U.S. military in the Far East. For China, the concept is integral to its maritime security and fears of strategic encirclement by U.S. armed forces. For both sides, the island chain strategy emphasizes the geographical and strategic importance of Taiwan." Ask yourself how the Americans would feel if China tried a similar stunt on the East and West coasts of the USA mainland. THIS is what Australia is getting sucked into with this sub project.

  2. Alexander Downer, the person the US 'deep state' played to initiate the Trump/Russia fiasco. Why would anyone seek the opinions of someone so guidable.

  3. Clearly fascism is alive and well in Australia. These right wing commentators are fascists, no other word for it. They want to silence anyone with a dissenting view, totally control the narrative, by ANY means possible. The ONLY difference between a fascist and a communist is a belief in who owns the productive assets of a country (the state or compliant private companies). Everything else is virtually identical.
