I love the “60 Minutes” clip (I.e. free advertisement) of the “cheap autonomous drones.” Sooo impressive—a “swarm” of four drones attack a defenseless unarmored truck parked in the middle of an open field on a sunny day.

Why is it we never see propaganda for military equipment that feature their use in real world combat situations in which the air is filled with dust and smoke and aerosolized blood and body parts, and while the enemy is moving and evading and actually returning fire with automatic weapons and guided anti-drone missiles?

And, of course, by the time the Aussies get their “cheap autonomous drones” designed (and probably built in Taiwan by subcontractors), the Chinese military will already have either stolen the plans or will have already used their superior AI to design and build anti-cheap-autonomous-drone (ACAD) technologies. Or, even more likely, those clever Chinese Communist invaders will simply bring their best skeet shooters to the Battle of Canberra.

There are three kinds of enemies: those that are real; those that are profitable; and those who pretend to be on your side but are actually on their own side. I'm leaning heavily toward the latter two in this instance.

"Liberal democracy". Hilarious. It's looking increasingly like Australia won't even be worth saving even if China does invade. And that's laughable too. Australia's government would more than likely wave the PLA through Sydney harbour.

It's all to purpose! Laying rope. Planting seeds. QAnon is a Global pan-anglo fascist movement.

"Australia to be the fourth-largest producer of QAnon content, globally, after the US, UK and Canada. " Don't confuse the inconvenience of mask-wearing with the "democratic backbone", "historic character" of the protestors. They are Q. They do nazi salutes. Covid reisistance is merely one tool, one iron in the fire, to rally the saluters.

The boom in US coal prices is a beautiful example of why it pays to have a partner feeding one

info from the State Department. https://doomberg.substack.com/p/coking-gold Australia really is being played for the sucker.

I know that it's not in China's interest to hit San Francisco, Los Angeles, or Sidney, all cities demographically on the way to being a part of Asia. I just hope China forgets the USA slaughters and enslaves inside its border on a massive scale, and kills it's own citizens without judicial review at whim even in other legal jurisdictions. It's the China based assets of the Western Elites that held back their servants in Uncle Sam MIC-IMATT from full throated flinging of expensive, profitable weapons. However, Industrialists in the MIC-IMATT are learning from their own masters in Wall Street/London that they can get ten dollars for one from the Fed if they simply blow up all their plants. https://youtu.be/Ghx0sq_gXK4

I expect the American urge to fling nuke will only grow. with or without OZ, so why become a target?

What a world of metaphor, when "poking the panda" equals "screwing the pooch."

The worry is that US hegemony remains dependent on war tech made in Taiwan. The US could get this done in Carolina, too, but there's a learning curve and labor problems.

Sounds like Molan's positions with the Lowy Institute and Australian Strategic Policy Institute are secure. Does 60 Minutes Australia have a relationship with Defendtex?

Molan repeatedly asserts that Australia is a "liberal democracy." Recent events prove him wrong.
