Do you think the usa is? I think a state being a gentle giant is an absurd criteria to avoid getting into alliances with their primary antagonist that pits you against them in a war.

who do you think is more likely to attack us, china or the usa?
if/when china invades democratic taiwan like it did hong kong, what do you think we should do? get the un involved? send a strongly worded letter?

the US. Everything they do, they hurt us.
The US has threatened to invade Canada, Greenland, Mexico and Cuba, recently and currently have a pedo, rapist, felon as President (speaking volumes of it’s voting ciitizens). We align with them in some horrific shit like the appaling genocide in Palestine
China has some argy bargy with The Philippines over some shoals in the south china sea, fucked over Tibet and has some border argy bargy with India and will take Taiwan at some stage.
The question of their invasion is ridiculous, they could invade Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and and Myanmar, Pakistan, India, Mongolia, Malaysia, Singapore and Bangladesh tomorrow if they wanted, they are literally next door. New Zealand, Fiji etc would offer zero resistance.
They have zero chance of invading and successfully holding Australia, Russia can’t even walk into Ukraine and they are next fucking door.
The US cant be relied upon as an ally at all, it told Ukraine it would defend it if it gave up it’s nukes, they said tough shit buddy when they were needed.
Should we be best buddies with China ?, of course not but they should be in the same category as say Vietnam
The only reason we’d even be a target is because of stupid shit like ANKUS and the endless US bases on our soil (in many ways, we’re a colony if the US already)
China has zero reason to invade, we already sell them everything they want for way cheaper then an invasion would cost.

Can you tell us the last date China dropped a bomb? Please?
You’re confused, between the US and China, it is certainly the United States that will inevitability attack Australia. You just don’t realize it because you’re too busy slurping up propaganda.

They did not invade Hongkong the British had a 99 year lease and china had sovereignty.
You can not like that, or how reintegration was done, but it doesn’t make it an invasion.
I’m not going to engage in good faith if you are going to be histrionic and disingenuous.

That is invalid framing. I do not think it is likely that china will attack us, I think the alliances we are in and hosting usa military shit makes it more likely, I think it is fairly likely (say >2% in 50 years) that we will declare war on china.
