In 2019 John Mearsheimer laid out an argument that perfectly explains why Australia is preparing to go to war with China, its primary trading partner, against its own security and economic interests: Australia is more afraid of the US than it is of China.
Australian war propagandists always talk about what *China* might do to us if we don't play along with the Washington's military agendas against Beijing, but they never talk about what *the US* would do to us if we don't. THAT'S the question that matters.

Australia isn't preparing for war with China to protect itself from China. Australia is preparing to go to war with China to protect itself from the US.
They think that because Australians are brainwashed by propaganda. In reality we're trapped between a rock and a Pentagon, and both the threat of war with China and the threat of US retribution have been engineered solely by the US.
