“Believe me, I know the strength of the RAN, and I have no illusions about our ability to resist a concerted Russian attack”
It in’t the Russian Navy Australia should be worried about, anyway, but the CHINESE...
The recent moves of Russia and China SHOULD be forcing a rethink in military policy and spending among Western nations, but so far, it isn’t.
I agree in general terms, but the Chinese aren't the ones currently sending a force in our direction. They do sometimes.
The Russians are the most pressing issue in the immediate future (ie, the next few weeks).
