ustralia on verge of an 'all-out war' with China as boiling tensions keep rising A special forces general warned troops in a secret briefing about impeding war Major-General Adam Findlay said there was a 'high likelihood' of a hot conflict Government's China expert urged Australia to form treaty to combat attack

Australia could be on the verge of an all-out war with China as tensions between the two trading partners continue to escalate, a top general has warned his troops.

Major-General Adam Findlay, formerly one of Australia's top military commanders, said that a combat war with the communist nation was likely and we were already engaged in 'grey zone' warfare.

The special force general made the terrifying prediction during a briefing with troops in April 2020, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Mr Findlay, who has since stepped down but is an advisor for the Australian Defence Force, reportedly said there was a 'high likelihood' of war.

Relations between the two nations has been strained since Scott Morrison called for an inquiry into the origins of coronavirus last year, and have only been made worse after China imposed punitive trading tariffs which are hitting Australian farmers.

Don’t worry, Kanadahar, as constituted under Prime Mistake Justin Cockwomble, will side with the ChiComs against Australia.

The good news is that in Eternity, he’ll get what he deserves.

When the Chinese Armadas appear of Australia and New Zealand’s coasts I bet they will wish they had back all those e-e-vil semi auto rifles they confiscated and destroyed.

“Expect the communist government of New Zealand to take China’s side in the war.”

Yes! and expect the communist government of the United States sit idly by, and stand down, effectively taking China’s side in the war. Wrongway Biden will get it right,... er... wrong!

I sure hope China’s Long March booster doesn’t land in a populated Australian city.

I hope the for the Aussies sake, they’re not relying on the US for any help cuz they ain’t getting it. They’re on their own.

I’m sure the Aussies have been looking closely at the dam and how to get at it. Along with some other very high value targets. Mountainous terrain usually means a lot of railroad spans that may take quite a while to repair.

“When the Chinese Armadas appear of Australia and New Zealand’s coasts “

While China has the ability to strike Australia from the sea, they DO NOT have the ability to sustain operations that far from home.

They have not even conducted training for such operations.

Chinese ships have no ability to operate 100 days away from home port, never have.

They have conducted a couple of show the flag transits to the Med, a couple to the IO and have been seen as far away as Hawaii. But always in very small numbers and short periods.

Bring back Australian national service. The Leftists ended it in 1972.

Require each Australian home to have an FN or equivalent.

What are they going to fight over and how would a winner be declared? When taking land isn’t involved, it’s tough to decide who won the fight. Unless of course it is the result of who can survive the bombings.

The General could not be more right on this.

The Chinese have a historic window of opportunity to fight a regional war and get away with it. I will be shocked if China does not make a serious move against Taiwan during the Biden Admin

The Chinese have nukes, right? There will not be an all-out war with a nuclear power. The future will consist of proxy wars in non-nuclear countries. This isn’t 1939 any more.
