Australia must be willing to invade the Solomon Islands and topple its government if that’s what is necessary to stop a proposed security pact between China and the Pacific nation going ahead, one commentator has argued.
David Llewellyn-Smith, founding publisher of MacroBusiness and former owner of leading Asia Pacific foreign affairs journal The Diplomat, says this is “Australia’s Cuban missile crisis” and chillingly warns a Chinese naval base in the Solomons would be “the effective end of our sovereignty and democracy”.
Lets send some PLA assets there. I dont think SI is going to be alright“There is no way that Australia can allow this deal to proceed. If it must, the nation should invade and capture Guadalcanal such that we engineer regime change in Honiara. There are other soft power levers to pull first and we should pull them forcefully. But we should also immediately begin amassing an amphibious invasion force to add pressure.”
"Australia must be willing to invade the Solomon Islands and topple its government"Oh well, we all expected that. Hopefully China ensures Solomon Islands' security and sovereignty.

Seems like a great opportunity to pull "nuclear umbrella" bs. A trick from the US playbook. Befriend a country close to your adversary, draft a mutual defense treaty, declare that you will nuke any country that will invade your new friend, then install a base. This is how the US put bases everywhere between 1945-1975.Oh well, we all expected that. Hopefully China ensures Solomon Islands' security and sovereignty.

Honestly, I don't see a good end for SI unless China protects it resolutely.Seems like a great opportunity to pull "nuclear umbrella" bs. A trick from the US playbook.

I am not endorsing such a stance but if the Chinese intelligence concludes that Solomon Islands will be invaded, then I will support it. This Anglos invading anywhere they want bullshit needs to stop. I bet China's influence would increase if this happens. Countries should know that China will back them if the current hegemon or its allies try to punish them for their choices.
A nuclear power CAN'T let a non-nuclear power invade one of its security partners. It would have zero credibility until its behavior visibly changes. China should go all in if Australia really attempts an invasion. It would be a huge bonus for China's reputation and ironically pro-peace position.Honestly, I don't see a good end for SI unless China protects it resolutely.
You just know that right now CIA, US and Aus military are getting ready to destroy it.
If they get invaded, they could try calling CTSO/SCO for peacekeepers to help defend them. Though yeah, I'm not optimistic about their prospect, once those wolves have their sights on you, its time to prepare.Honestly, I don't see a good end for SI unless China protects it resolutely.

The black boxes are supposed to emit a signal in a crash, so I wonder why it is so hard to find?
@BoraTas Sir my country is a perfect example, you were forced to join and you can't leave, it's like being in a Mafia and our Capodecina is Australia. Only off Caucasian Anglophone origin or descent is allow to rule us while Japan and SK are mere accountant or book keepers.Seems like a great opportunity to pull "nuclear umbrella" bs.
