Yesterday on a blog post I criticized Australian defense procurement. A couple of Aussies came onto blog and stated that they were not only solid but a leading nation in the region.
Maybe I'm jaded but I look at the ability to power project as the basis of my criticism. To me it's lacking in the Aussie Defense Model.
To take it a step further I see them mirroring our capabilities and not bringing anything unique to the table. That pissed some people off. Ok. I get it. You think I'm wrong.
So let's slice this apple a different way.
COMMENTS on this blog post should be about one thing. How you rate Pacific powers. A quick and dirty 1 to 5 should suffice and a short explanation of why. The one caveat? You leave the US and China off the list.
Why do this?
Because I believe no other region on the planet has a greater chance of peer vs peer warfare occuring. Additionally I believe that "nominal" friends today could easily become mortal enemies with a quickness.
So how do you rate them?
