YES, WE WANT WAR. But just a small one, please, followed by a quick surrender. The United States is diligently working with Australia and the UK to goad China into what they hope will be a limited war over Taiwan, according to military strategists

I mean did you sleep through US working with UK and Australia to put nuclear subs in Australia, what do you think the purpose of those subs is exactly?

I love that you've been entirely correct in both of these replies haha. Like, that really is it: nuclear deterent against nuclear weapons. Whose? Doesn't matter.

That doesn't make a lick of sense when you think about it for even a minute. Nuclear weapon use by whom and for what possible reason?

Maybe someone who's bit off more than they could chew in a open conflict with their neighbor.

Once again who would be using nuclear weapons and for what reason. China is Australia's biggest trading partner in case you weren't aware.

Contain an expansionist China, which is intent on subjugating free people?
