Australian May have to Take One for the Team; Korean Nuclear Holocaust by Paul Walker

I was as alarmed, as no doubt as you were, to read that US General Vincent K. Brooks, told foreign Minister Julie Bishop last month, that North Korea’s Unha-3 missile is now capable of lopping a nuclear bomb on Australia. The Australian, March 27, 2017, p. 1. It is nice that the Americans tell us such things, because this was apparently the first time that the Minister had heard this, indicating that our security spooks, are just not in the international loop.

How might this all be played out? I have bad news for Australia. Under one of my strategic scenarios, manic Kim Jong-un may decide to drop a nuke on Australia rather than America to show that he means business. We all know it; in world terms, we mean little and could very well be made to take one for the team.

At present, the range of the Unha-3 only puts Cairns within its impact. To make an statement, Kim would need to take out a big Australian city such as Sydney, and that requires a missile having a range of 9,000 km. It is not unreasonable to suppose that North Korea could obtain such a missile in the near future.

A missile on Sydney and one on Melbourne would be terrible, ending Australia’s multicultural variety. Australia should let Kim know that Australia has vibrancy and diversity, and thus must choose another target, such as Germany, which seems to have a death wish, or one designed for it, anyway.

After all, if, and that’s a big if, the regional Saarland  election results for Merkel’s conservatives indicate that she is more popular than in 2012, before adopting an open door migration Gemanicide policy, then maybe North Korea would make more of an international impact by sending a few nuclear eggs her way, given that Australia is so unimportant! She may then have wished that she paid Don Trump’s £ 300 billion NATO bill: http://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-gave-merkel-300-billion-invoice-for-nato-debt/.
(Just joking; Germany is equally as vibrant now. But, do we really have to have a nuclear war?  Couldn’t Trump and Kim play a game of ping-pong to work it all out?)
