You tell me, if you’re confident in your opinion it must be because you’ve researched it a lot and are well informed about their military posture. why would they?
Be concrete, what would they gain? How much would it cost? How long would the war be? What would the attack look like? What forces would be involved?
I think you’re operating in the idealism land of china bad us good evil vs good is why war. Can you actually state your position and reasoning in material terms?

sorry no im of the belief that despite the usa being a backwards country lead by a retard, Australia culturally is far similar and closer (some would argue we are too close) to america than china
china as mildly as you’ve made them seem is still an authoritarian dictatorship, if criticising dickfingers carried the same penalty as criticising jingping lemmy would have been deleted and we’d all be dead or in jail
in terms of invasion it depends on how we respond to the invasion of taiwan, if we send a strongly worded letter then i assume we’ll largely be spared, but if we get involved i don’t know how it ends
but i would never ever underestimate the worlds second strongest army with the worlds strongest by far manufacturing capacity

which part do you think is most vibes
that we are culturally the same as americans
that taiwan is likely to be attacked by china

maybe you should go tell the taiwanese to chill out?
and how hard we are targeted depends on how deeply we get involved in the defence of taiwan?
We’re not impervious, we have been hit before

I love that your example of Australia being attacked is Australia being attacked because Australia declared war at the behest of another state.
