When USA bombed Iran to stop Iran from making Nukes, Then why USA could not stop India and North korea from making Nukes ?

@Monalisasmith86 Australia is situated in Indian ocean and China and India are two reginal Power there, Once USA's influence declined, I am sure, Australia will be captured by either China or India.

@Sayanabut they are all in Sydney though

@Sayana If India attacks Australia they will end up killing hundreds of thousands of Indians who now live in Australia and if China attacks Australia they will end up killing anywhre up to a million Chinese living in Australia.. And in any case Australians are only to happy to trade with China and India so there is little reason for Chian or India to invade Australia..

Also Australia can play the game Thailand played when the British and the French where trying to take control of it.. When the French started to get too agressive the Thai's would cosy up to the British and then if the British started to get too demanding the Thai's would start sweet talking the French.. In the end Thailand was never taken over by the British or the French and remained free..

Australia will be able to play the same game with India and China if it needs too..

@Adstar [] India has 1.5 billion population so it will stop India for going into a war with any country but Do remember 1 thing here, India's rocket reached on Moon's land, India destroyed a satellite from a Missile, So they have Ambition to become a Super power in future....China is already a Superpower...That is why Indian ocean is a dangerous place.

@Sayana India is already a super power.. They have nuclear wepons and the missiles to deliver them to any place on earth.. And yeah China is a super power.. But China is a sick super power now with huge economic problems.. India while not being as strong as China has got a lot better future prospects..

India is rising,, China is falling..

@Adstar What about Russia ?

@Sayana Russia is in decline too because they are sending their young men to their deaths in Ukraine.. Men they need to have families, to stop their population crashing.. The only thing Russia still has is their nuclear weapons.. That's the thing that is stopping China from invading them to take over Russia's Asian territories.. India is no longer buying Russian Oil and we shall soon see if China stops buying Russian oil, if that happens then Russia will simply not have the money to pay it's troops.. They will have to just print money and cause hyper inflation..

@Adstar Rusia is brave, I mean Russia is fighting with Ukraine + Nato + USA ( Indirectly )

Whole NATO +US + Europe supplied weapons to Ukraine.

@Sayana Yes and thats the problem.. Russia is fighting when they do not have enough men and money to keep fighting.. Putin should have made a peace offer 2 years ago when it became obvious that his army was not good enough to defeat Ukraine in 3 months.. Putins corrupt and incompetent generals told him that Russian troops would be marking into Kyev as victors in 3 days.. Nope... Now Russians are throwing their men into a meat grinder, losing thousands of troops per day..

@Adstar See, Ukraine was a part of USSR, they have good IQ same as Russians, Ukraine had over 5000 nukes in 1990 which he gave to Russia

Even if USA was in place of Russia even then USA would not be able to defeat them...USA got fucked in " Vietnam " in 1970 and lost 40K solders in a War with Vietnam....Ukraine is much stronger than the Vietnam.

So, don't Judge Russian weapons are not effective...Even Russia is Miles Ahead of USA when it comes to having Hypersonic cruise missile

@Sayana The war in Vietnam was a insurgency war. The current war in Ukraine is not an insurgency war but a conventional war.. In the case of Vietnam the USA was no longer prepared to lose troops after 10 years of war. But North Vietnam was very willing to lose troops and people.. It is believed that the total Vietnamese killed in that was was near 10 million.. The USA lost near 50 thousand.. So it is not accurate for you to say that the USA suffered a great defeat in Vietnam.. It was simply a case of North Vietnam being willing to sacrifice more of it's people.. Same thing happened in Afghanistan for both the USSR and the USA.. The Taliban was simply more willing to sacrifice the lives of Afgans more then the soviets and the USA where..

Yes Ukraine was part of the USSR and Ukraine did posses nuclear weapons when the USSR collapsed in the early 1990's But a deal was done between Russia, The Ukraine and the USA to transfer all those nukes to Russia and in return Russia and The USA guaranteed the territorial integrity of the newly independent Ukraine.. Of course in 2014 Russia broke that agreement when they marched into Crimea and took it over and then started the civil war in the donbas region of Ukraine to take away those lands from Ukraine..

The Ukrainians have shown that they reject becoming part of the new Russian imperial empire in the most violent way..

As for hypersonic missiles.. They have zero effect in the war against Ukraine.. There is no point in going to the expense of making such high end weapons when you can only deliver conventional explosives with them.. They expense only makes sense if you load them with nuclear warheads.. And since Russia is not using nuclear warheads against Ukraine all those hypersonic weapons are useless to Russia for this conflict..

@Adstar I agree with you with most of the parts that you said, I am from South Korea and I have Chinese and Indians as my Neighbours

No, Hypersonic cruise missiles can be a game changer...in a limited WAR or border clash, If you have them then you can simply target and destroy enemies Radars, defense systems. command and control systems and it makes your enemy " Blind "

See, during the India-Pakistan conflict in May 2025, Pakistan used Chinese PL-15 missiles, and it has a range over 200+ kilometers, and it shot down India's Raffle fighter jets.... then Next day, India used it's Brahmos supersonic cruise missiles and it destroyed Pakistan's 11 Airbase and command, and control system and Pakistan went " Blind "

And on the Next day, USA intervened, and it persuaded both sides for a " Immediate cease file " to not escalate a Nuclear WAR.

India's " Brahmos " missile is considered deadliest missile in the World, it trave at speed of Mach 3 and it's almost unstoppable from any defense system of the World.
