China has no modern warfare experience. just look how poorly Russia is doing in Ukraine. China will perform even more poorly on the battlefield. NATO has 1 billion people and a 40 trillion dollar GDP. Nato is nearly 4 times richer than China.
China would need more luck than God could offer, to win a war against Nato.
When did Kevin Rudd relocate or immigrate to the US?
you know you're talking to an american when they call xi ji ping 'jing ping'..
Agree on Red Lines? The US has crossed RED lines in every agreement. They broke the nuclear deal, they broke the treaty after WW2 and put a military base in Turkey which was signed and agreed upon to be in Russians section of the hemisphere with signed documents including the Presidents signature. Truman I believe maybe Nixon.
We also agreed no more NATO expansions after Germany. We expanded twice since taking up Russias security belt. Now if Russia move into Mexico or Cuba we would have taken them off the map by now. Just food for thought even though it’s our side to be unbiased we aren’t and haven’t historically ever been true to our word.
The only time we lift a finger is only when the petro-dollar is at risk that simple.
Excellent analysis by PM Rudd, definitely strategic cooperation must be achieved with both sides if Australia is to survive. Admiral Philip Davidson ex Commander Indo-Pacific Command said war will likely be 2024 – 2026. Trump already threatened in January 2017 to blockade South China Sea (SCS), China responded that would be war.
Throw china out from UNO. China should be punished by 4o trillion dollar as compensation for victims of virus.
Can ASIA have an ASIAN version of NATO? Why did America forbid…
America and the West don't be selfish this world doesn't just belong to you.
It is no longer surprising to see an intelligent thoughtful person attacked by the right in the comments below. Only stupidity is acceptable now.
Chines army just like plastic army and indian army,s prove them gal wang booo boooo enemies india
Chines theif you are hacking indian electric east india shame on u
China needs to re-invade Vietnam. 🙂
I'm out. I'm taking my Tesla to Mars sooner than expected.
ASIAN CENTURY, ANGLO SAXONS FUCKED
If China want to expend they should attack Russia, Russian army is weak and nobody would care
Please no war with China, we're tired of endless war!
There needs to be a nuclear war involving the US. The latter is too arrogant for its own good
Good for China.
The problem is not voltaire's bastards the problem is Moa's bastards. Systems are for players not terrorists and sucks.
Stop the misinformation titles mothers F.
China does not trust America and for good reason. America doesn't want to lose its extraordinary privilege as the greatest power to ever exist. The collision is enviable, no Great Power has ever peacefully reliquished the power.

PLEASE WRITE/EMAIL YOUR GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES AND ASK THEM TO HELP US TO OBTAIN THE WEAPONS WE NEED. THANK YOU…
The problem is the US wants to continue to print money, and China disallows it. Who has the moral upper hand here?
America why dont we make Chinese people Americans in the way we work to incentivize them to move here and drain china of there people each year that goes by people stay on earth is dangerous
China's economy is in the tank. China relies on America and the west for trade to keep them afloat.

Top Chinese most fearest U.S sanctions to be imposed : 1ã€ÂOverturn Great Wall cyber firewall 2, declare of Taiwan's independence and military enployment 3, CCP bigwigs or oligachs banking account in U.S or Europe be exposed publicly 4, high-end chips embargo from the west 5, trade battle over U.S and Europe 6, embargo oil trade by cutting Malacca strait to controll CCP energy imports
You people know nothing about China Chinese. They don’t play unity’s. China wants the freedom world gone.
Watch how fast the U.S. forgets about Ukraine if there's a conflict with China.
Kevin is totally oblivious to all the destruction after WWII because it was all done to non-white people.
How many people did Pol Pot kill in Cambodia? What about Rwanda? The list goes on and on.
What kind of idiot buy your book?
I appreciate you and your content < Technical Analysis is good but I find It truly baffling that major crypto youtubers just look mostly at pure T.A and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumps/pumped and why the future outlook will be even rosier than it seems. It's kinda irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a major dump at the peaks of BTC. We were already on shaky footing with historically low volume and almost pure whale pumps,narrowly avoiding a long-term bear market. More emphasis should be put into day trading as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market. I have made over 12 btc from day tradng with Mike Howard insights and charts.His been one step ahead of other analysis…..
Sleepy China Joe and the idiot Democrats doing a fantastic job so farðŸ‘Â
~@!%%~@#####American virus/American flu
Coronavirus originated in the United States. Two virus leaks occurred at the U.S. Virus Laboratory in Fort Detrick, Maryland, U.S. in 2019.On October 18, 2019, the 7th Military World Games was held in Wuhan china. American soldiers brought the coronavirus to Wuhan. the United States virus infected the world.Americans are trying to hide the truth
The flu comes from the U.S., Covid-19 come from the United States.
