US is so Weakened in the Indo-Pacific it could now ‘lose war’ to China. That’s the conclusion of a blunt new report/analysis by the University of Sydney’s United States Studies Centre. It has warned that years of spending cuts, an “outdated superpower mindset” and ageing equipment mean US military installations in the region are vulnerable to being wiped out by China in a surprise battle. US and allied ports and airstrips “could be rendered useless by precision strikes in the opening hours of a conflict”, it states. Is this for real? If it is..sounds a very worrying scenario as it makes my country very vulnerable to invasion. The Chinese are 1.5 billion and a place the size of Australia would be extremely tempting for resettlement of some of their populace.
The Chinese are investing money in Africa...while the world's attention is diverted by other perceived threats, a quiet re-settlement programme may be underway. No need for military confrontation, taking over a continent can be done much more subtly.
