Krinj!!

This is a repeat. I made a comment re FPDA activities yesterday (I think).

No one asked your opinion. NATO is a European problem not ours.

The North of AU is indeed the gateway into our country and must be held secure. Serious people doing important work. Thanks for the work you do.

It's both a disgrace and a disappointment to hear of Australia's decline to join NATO ... Appalling decision and one that will effect international relations and trade. My perspective if you please.... Was it not long ago that a Russian missile shot down a Malaysian flight containing Australians onboard .... "Yes." Did Australian Police attend the crash site and get little compliance or respect ? where they asked to leave and denied time to investigate ? Did Putin accept responsibility and apologize to the Australian people or the PM ? Did our then leader publicly declare his intention to "Shirt front " Putin ? Did Putin then deploy an number of battleships and a nuclear submarine down the east coast of Australia ? Threatening our safety and violating our waters ? What was done about that by the Australian military ? absolutely nothing .... Scared to defend the country against a superior enemy ... Hence a proven need to join NATO .... If Australia won't get in the fight i certainly will ... I will join and place my loyalty with the United States .... Disgraceful ....

The Imperative for an Australian Nuclear Deterrent in the Face of China's Existential Threat. Australia's strategic security landscape is increasingly fraught with challenges that pose an existential threat to its sovereignty. Foremost among these is China's rising military might, whose expansionist policies and aggressive posturing in the Indo-Pacific region have raised alarms about Australia's future stability and security. Given the current state of Australia's defence capabilities, the acquisition of nuclear weapons emerges as a crucial strategy to deter potential aggression and ensure national survival. Strategic Vulnerabilities and Defense Shortcomings: - Australia boasts a vast and sparsely populated coastline stretching over 25,000 kilometres, presenting a formidable challenge for defence and surveillance. The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is under-equipped to secure this extensive border against a superior military force like China. Key shortcomings include: 1. Insufficient Defense Expenditure: Australia's defence budget, while significant, is spread thin across multiple domains, resulting in a lack of advanced and comprehensive land, sea, and air deterrents. The current expenditure levels are inadequate to match the rapid military advancements seen in China. 2. Manpower Constraints: The ADF is experiencing its lowest manpower levels since World War II. This limited personnel pool hampers Australia's ability to project power and sustain prolonged defensive operations, particularly against a numerically superior foe. This is evidenced by the new Australian Foreign Legion forecast to boost recruit numbers. 3. Technological and Capability Gaps: The ADF lacks the advanced technological edge and integrated defence systems to effectively counter modern threats. This includes deficits in missile defence, cyber capabilities, and strategic mobility. The Case for a Nuclear Deterrent. In the face of these challenges, nuclear weapons offer a potent solution that can offset conventional military disadvantages and provide a credible deterrent against existential threats. The strategic rationale for Australia to pursue nuclear armament includes: 1. Deterrence Against Superior Forces: Nuclear weapons serve as a powerful deterrent, compelling any potential aggressor to reconsider the risks of a military incursion. The mere presence of a credible nuclear arsenal can induce hesitation and strategic caution in adversaries, including China. 2. Force Multiplier: A nuclear capability would act as a force multiplier, significantly enhancing Australia’s defensive posture without needing proportional increases in conventional forces. This would enable Australia to maintain a more balanced and sustainable defence budget. 3. Sovereignty and Autonomy: Possessing nuclear weapons would enhance Australia’s strategic autonomy, reducing dependence on allied support in times of crisis and enabling more decisive and independent defence policies. 4. Geopolitical Stability: A nuclear-armed Australia would contribute to regional stability by establishing a balance of power. This could deter China's direct aggression, coercive tactics, and geopolitical maneuvering. Conclusion. In a rapidly evolving security environment, the acquisition of nuclear weapons presents a compelling strategic imperative for Australia. Faced with China's overwhelming military superiority and constrained by current defence capabilities, Australia must consider a nuclear deterrent to secure its sovereignty, safeguard its vast coastline, and ensure national survival. By developing a credible nuclear arsenal, Australia can transform its strategic landscape, compelling any potential aggressor to think twice before undertaking any kinetic actions against the nation. Australia needs to grow up.

5 hop you live

How deep is the command bunker😊

Good luck lads!

That's Beautiful 😮😲

Amazing work !!

Nice to see some adf shorts show up

When that hot brass lands inside your collar

“100m, 2 enemy base of tree!”. Like this if those words have graced your lips

good stuff guys 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🔥🔥🔥

good on them serving our country 🔥🔥🔥

I use to watch defence train they mostly waste ammunition. Australian defence should not be a career the jobs are so pointless and boring they should be training on the front line in Ukraine. Mortars are no good in open country when modern warfare is now urban. A mobile mortar team over a position is more valuable then artillery.

Doing a great job

Important partnership to grow. We need all the friends we can get.

I'm currently preparing for my final exam, and I'm eagerly anticipating successfully completing this stage so that I can pursue my goal of serving in the Australian Army. I've dedicated a lot of time and effort to preparing for this moment and I'm looking forward to the opportunity to contribute to the defence and security of my country. combo medic 🦾🇦🇺❤
