Likely not at least initially.
You would have to significantly alter how you would deal with China.
China needs land. And I’m sure there are Oz politicians would love to profit from concessions.
Also I’m still waiting for a plausible explanation of a negotiated path forward.

China would simply kill every Australian replacing them with their own. No negotiations. Simply repopulate.
 
I saw some discussion that Putler has now taken to micromanaging the war and handed over managing the country to Mikhail Mishutin. If this is true, wonder what it means? Isn't the same thing Hitler did?

Unfortunately the US is better off NOT prepping the public in this way, YET…because it would send signals to our nuclear adversaries. Signals we do NOT want to send at the moment. Plus the media would have a field day, and the great toilet paper crisis 2.0 would occur. “People are buying more than they are at Christmas, relax.”

Look, I know this should be in the humor section--but I can't help it. Toilet paper?? Well, there is an alternative , summed up in a little poem.
Here I sit in all this vapor,
without a sheet of toilet paper.
It's defcon 2 and I must not linger,
So watch out butt,
here comes my finger.

Another piece related to Russian nuclear readiness, but not as strong as an indicator as the previous one imo. Still, for what it's worth.

Thanks for the good intel....... Somewhat reassuring. Here is a question. We see in a lot of countries, China, Russia and N. Korea, military parades. Given the volatility of some rocket fuels, even solid fuel from my reading-- and given the material in a nuclear weapon-- does it not seem like a bad idea to put the missile on display in a public area where crowd control might not be 100%. I wonder if a lot of whats shown arent empty launch canisters....thinking about a sniper with say a 30.06 in a high building 1 KM away..Not having ever been around a mobile launcher I wonder how robust to this sort of threat, one of them might be.
Again thanks for the intel.

They're likely empty canisters, to be honest. They definitely don't put actual nukes on the missiles during victory parades. As for the fuel, I imagine it's drained before hand since it's obviously not needed.

I am going to guess, knowing almost nothing about rocketry---that a lot of the mobile launchers are solid fuel. Also I wonder if the upper stage where the warhead bus and the weapon(s) are located doesnt have hypergolic fuel for mid course correction via thrusters..... that is some nasty stuff to be around from what I read....

It’s all relative, it’s not who’s going to pay for it but who’s not going to pay.

Great. You're telling the aliens we're weak and vulnerable. When Independence Day happens, I'm blaming you.

I'm surprised we went to 4. Seemed to me the situation has only escalated. Was it because of the 'alert fatigue'? I

While we are concerned about alert fatigue, it did not factor into consideration.
