Australia flags naval drills with US, India and Japan in signal to China.

[Kyusuibu Honbu]

there currently no military excercises done to limit Australia since they're pretty much irellevant without US backing them up.

Australians consider themselves a sitting duck in East Asian tensions, given what happened in WW2.

all the more reason they shouldn't stir shits up. they're on the rear end of the world. who cares about them if wars going on? but hey, they like some attentions so they're going with their petty threat to China which is their biggest trading partner. see how troublesome they are?

China has forced India into this future alliance for sure but its repeated hawkish attitude and India is not alone many east asian, south east asian counties are affected

Not specifically. This is a Maritime Exercise, VBSS will be part of it; that is all.

but in malabar 2012 ex. US navy seals and marcos conducted training excercise.

 

[Aepsilons]

Not sure, but if I have interpreted this news right, Australia plans to re-join Malabar exercises.

One part of which is anti-submarine warfare.

Already there is Japanese-Australian special forces collaboration. I'd love to see more cooperation between Rikusentai, US Marines, Indian Marines and Aussie counterparts, however.

Correct, it is a maritime exercise, however there are platforms , recently, that saw the interoperability of the JGSDF's Western Army cooperating with the Australian and American Counterparts. Expect greater cooperation between the boys.

Go as India pleases but you guys are pretty dumb when no one forces you to stick your necks out when the chopping is going on

Indonesia should participate in this drill as well, our relationship with Australia is up and down relationship, but it had been never better under much of Yudhoyono terms

You are really out dated, man.

If you say so.

As long as China controls South China Sea, this kind of exercises, alliances, or even asian NATO are useless. The diamond alliance has a major defect, China controls South China Sea. All trade and military collaboration can be monitored or controlled by Chinese Forces in South China Sea.

Actually the more exercise, the bigger military bases in South China Sea. Before any pivotal to asia, China is reluctant to do reclamation in South China sea; now solid foundation to do this.

With DF-21D and DF-26, united states' control within first island chain is loosing. With China + USA GDP 40% of world for last 70 years and incoming 70 years, sooner or later USA will change the strategy. Someone will be sacrificed.

China and USA collaborated on WWII and cold war. There may be a third major collaboration. When that time comes, it will be nightmare time for Japan and Phillipines.

Frankly although Europe and USA had troubles with China during last 200 years, Western people are very fascinated by Chinese culture. Since the era of silk road, China has been a fascinating name to westerners. And there have never been a life or death conflict between China and the West. I do not see any major conflicts between China and the Westerners since people of both sides can sit down together easily. There is no strong drive for cold war between China and United States except some interest groups. That's why Chinese companies are eager to expand business in United States and US corp are the same. Corps in both sides have no interests or worries on cold war at all. This is very disappointing and worrying to Japan, Vietnam and Philippines.

Not just the first island chain is loosing, also the second island Chain ,Military bases in Australia,Diego Garcia,Guam or even Hawaii!

you know the range of DF-26 is more than 4000-5000 KMs.

and this isn't the end, If it's need, we'll see DF-21D and DF-26 in SSBN, We''ll make DF-31X to become the next ASBM in the range of more than 8000 - 10000 KMs! That means we will hunting the US CBGs all over the world. you know usually, the US president always saying " where are the CBGs?" but not in a near future, he'd like to say " where can we hide our CBGs?"

The core military foundation Of US global empire will gone , that's the core thing which China messaged to this world From 9.3 V day parade!


We'll keep the US imperialism in check and bring peace to the world!

When did the Norwegian Army make it to Australia.



That beard though.

*You know I have to rub it in. I'm sure I could grow a better beard than you.

My role model, the great Japanese actor -- Toshiro Mifune -- defends the honor of Japanese beardfolk!!




12 oclock shadow? sexy,

full beard, haha,

Agreed. In fact some countries in ASEAN that I think should be included are:

1. Indonesia
2. Philippines
3. Vietnam
4. Singapore

Do you want to see China destroyed completely? Because launching all those missiles just means you launched nukes.

Those are tactical conventional weapons. Please learn the difference between nuke and non-nuke weapon.

My money is on the bear + dragon team.

Good choice. I am in favor to getting rid of our passive policy and aggressively pursuing mutual defense pact with Russia and our combine allies. Together we stand, apart we get beaten by the manipulative West.

 

[Our friend :Pakistan]

i can't understand，what's the Chinese problem？【i did not understand what you are saying

 

[Oldman1]

.

Tactical conventional? They are long range ballistic missiles. You might as well assumed that the Conventional Trident if it had existed would be nuclear because you don't know if it has a nuke or conventional weaponry. If the U.S. were to launch a Conventional Trident at your offshore bases, would you believe it? How exactly would you learn the difference?
