In the words of singer Kenny Rogers in “The Gambler”,
“You’ve got to know when to hold ’em,
Know when to fold ’em,
Know when to walk away,
And know when to run”
Now is the time to ‘fold and run’, before it is too late. AUKUS is not just about the cost of a few submarines. It is the vortex sucking Australia into perpetual war on behalf of the superpower. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq 1, Iraq 2, Afghanistan … and now Iran? China next?
Australia is at another “All the way with LBJ” moment … war or peace, in or out, AUKUS or independence.
For more, read “Queen’s Pawn to D4” by Rod Johnston.
When does fiction become prophecy – and when does prophecy turn to reality?
Those words are well put Rod, prophetic in content. I’m reading your book Queen’s Pawn to 4D at this moment.
The book takes us on a journey that contains many hints of the unfolding geopolitical decisions Australia now faces. This is especially in the South Pacific Region where Australia holds a key position (reflected in your book’s chess board).
I would like to see your book made into a film to capture a wide international audience. We would all benefit and see how a peaceful world is indeed possible.
In the interim we can all get involved in local groups such as the United Nations Associations and umbrella Australian peace groups.
