US must set up joint command with Taiwan, now: analyst
China and Taiwan expert Stephen Bryen says Pentagon needs to act to avoid a potential crisis
https://asiatimes.com/2021/01/us-must-set-up-joint-command-with-taiwan-now-analyst/
Excerpt:
The study by the United States Study Center, at the University of Sydney, in Australia, warned that America’s defense strategy
in the Indo-Pacific region “is in the throes of an unprecedented crisis” and could struggle to defend its allies against China.
That means Australia, Japan and other US partners need to build up and refocus their forces in the region,
and consider increased cooperation with the US, to ensure their security, the study claimed.

Assuming that China is an enemy in the first place?
Which countries have been the worse offenders of invading other countries, exporting weapons & military hardware and causing untold miseries and deaths in the world in the last 70 years?
WOMD, anyone?

China's strategy of breaking NZ apart from its other Five Eyes partners seems to be working, and Damien O'Connor goes for the brotherly advice (missing the big picture) while NZ (diplomatically) loses its Free Speech rights and principles...
NZ Trade Minister suggests Australia should speak with ‘more diplomacy’ in dealings with China
https://www.smh.com.au/politics/fede...28-p56xex.html
Excerpt:
"Senior Australian government officials are infuriated at Mr O’Connor’s comments, which they see as a continuing pattern of New Zealand
not joining other allies in standing up to China’s growing assertiveness in recent months."
and,
"Australian government officials were also put off earlier this month by New Zealand being the only member of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing arrangement not to be in a joint statement criticising the arrests of pro-democracy figures in Hong Kong, which Beijing’s mouthpiece The Global Times on Wednesday described as a “wake up call” for Canberra."

From the article:
"What [New Zealand] has to realise is that China is intent on splitting alliances in the region, and jumping in like this plays into their hands," they said.

Which country jumped to NZ’s side when the French bombed the Rainbow Warrior & then, imposed trade & diplomatic sanctions on NZ to force NZ to release the terrorists?

Not US, Australia, Canada or UK.
So much for the alliance!
With friends like them, who needs enemies, right?
