At 10,000 tonnes, the Virginias are too large for the shallow waters of Australia's coast, their facility is not in the defence of Australia.

I'm with #PJK... he's nailed it on China, ASEAN and our Yanky- loving govt. 👏

“Taiwan speaker hails Japan, South Korea and Philippines for 'crescent of defense'”

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/taiwan-speaker-hails-japan-south-korea-philippines-crescent-defense-2023-05-16/

Personally, the #Philippines, #Japan, and South #Korea should form an alliance. My country, the Philippines, should officially pursue this instead of relying on #ASEAN (that can never do anything anyway). The #PJK alliance will then become the official body that will handle anything related to the West (like the #US and #EU) and China.

Let's admit it, many issues in Asia-Pacific were about how to handle the West, pre- and post-colonial era.

(Obviously, the West will never approve this alliance; and China will prefer to keep the current status quo.)

Bonus: The Philippines can also act as a bridge to ASEAN, and use the PJK alliance as an example of what ASEAN could be if the other ASEAN members would only stop bowing to China.

What a treat to see a 1987 #PJK on #TheNewsreader. Not a treat to hear/see plenty of anachronisms. Srsly, couldn't they have run it past an old fart or two? 👋

With great respect to PJK I think he is suffering from relevance deprivation syndrome. Always a great turn of phrase but I just wish ex-PMs would retire gracefully like JG for instance. By all means provide advice in private if asked but seriously he needs to let the Labor Party govern without nasty broadsides because he has a differing opinion. Whether you agree with him or not I do think it diminishes him as Albo retorted. #auspol #aukus #labor #defense #submarines #china #usa #PJK #Albo

Some journo from Sky: "Why do you think China is not a military threat to Australia?"

Keating: "Coz I've got a brain". 🤣
