President Donald Trump’s administration is set to release the Pentagon’s first new National Security Strategy on Friday, and it will reportedly refocus the US on great power wars against the likes of Russia and China. While the US under former President Barack Obama mainly focused on defeating insurgencies overseas, like in Iraq and Syria, and later on defeating non-state actors like ISIS, Trump’s strategy will reportedly shake off the post-Cold War mentality and return to outgunning near-peer adversaries, according to the Financial Times. China has developed a class of “carrier killer” missiles specifically designed to target US aircraft carriers. Russia has also designed systems specifically with US weapons in mind. Many now openly question whether or not the US Navy could win a war overseas against China or Russia. “As you look at what China and Russia have developed, it is purposefully meant to counter some of our strengths,” an official … [Read more...] about Trump’s new National Defence Strategy will prepare the US for a great power war with Russia and China

Trump’s new National Defense Strategy will prepare the US for a great power war with Russia and China
President Donald Trump’s new National Defense Strategy reportedly calls for the US to focus on Russia and China as main adversaries and to prepare for a great power war. The US hasn’t focused on great power wars since the end of the Cold War, and Trump’s strategy may return the focus to beating near peer adversaries, as opposed to terror groups like ISIS.

Less than 40% of Australians know what actually happened on January 26 to make it our national day
With a bitter political debate currently underway over changing the date of Australia Day, a new national survey has revealed that nearly two-thirds of the country’s citizens may not know the historical reason why January 26 was chosen as the day to mark the occasion. The survey of 1,417 Australians last December by the left-leaning Australia Institute reveals shocking levels of ignorance about the country’s history and the inspiration behind the choice for the country’s national day. That lack knowledge about the country’s white history was especially prevalent among Labor voters, with just 34% knowing the First Fleet landed in Sydney Cove, while 41% of Coalition and One Nation voters chose the correct answer and 40% of Greens voters. The respondents were asked “What Australian historical event occurred on 26 January?” and given a randomised list of 11 options to choose from. Just 38% chose the correct answer, with “don’t know” … [Read more...] about Less than 40% of Australians know what actually happened on January 26 to make it our national day
