In response to Three years on, where is the China war we were warned of?

Australian doomcasters

The club of Australian doom forecasters that come out of the woodwork every so often to predict the end of civilisation as we know it, can always be relied upon to do their acts on cue for their masters in the MSPO (Main stream propaganda organs) and the MIC (Military-Industrial complex) when orders for new military hardware and are not doing so well and when the Murdoch and SMH/Age sewers want to frighten the bejesus out of the “bewildered herd” to boost their readership and to control the public mind. But like Chicken Little they have done it so often that they more resemble Pinocchio with their patronage sensitive snouts growing apace. Not to be taken seriously!
