In response to War in a hot climate: the luxury of AUKUS in a time of global overheating

NOTHING TO SEE HERE

40 odd years ago my brother in law was in an officer in training in the ADF and He Told me our defence thinking was about Indonesia.

Learning Indonesian was encouraged in schools.

That was before we outsourced our thinking, any thinking to the USA.

A small boat sail to the North is a Nation (don’t mention religion) of nearly 300 million people who live on smallish islands that are soon to be to varying degrees flooded by rising seas and smashed by storms.

To the north of them are some of the most densely populate coastal areas in the world. I’m betting that if the choice become treading water, drowning and heading south heading south will win out.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE
