Indo relations. Nothing like a missile test to show we care

In late July, Australia tested a new US -made long -range missile. The range is 500km, but it can be doubled, easily achieved Indonesian goals. Duncan Graham Reports.

Was he scared to the North by seeing this armed line as a threat? The tariffs, Gaza and Ukraine put aside other news, so the reaction was limited. Indonesian media has not yet created a confusion.

Original news Incoming Apparently, ABC fed by the Ordu, with photographs of hardness in fatigue that seem to be satisfied with its achievements.

Defense Industry Minister Pat Conroy said the new weapon celebrated the day when the Australian Army entered the missile age ”.

“Everything is about expanding deterrence in Indo-Pacific, and everything is about signaling to any potential enemy where pain can be given,

Everything about the descending war with power.

Another “everything” is to develop close friendships and understand the differences. “The jaw jaw is better than war war”, Churchill allegedly He said, but the proverb and his purpose rusted in this century.

Did the Indonesians know that we planned to test the sensitive strike missile (PRSM) before the red button was pressed? We asked the defense. “Your E -Your Post is not accepted as a valid request for freedom of information.”

Different strokes for different people …

We wanted to know because in February, the Chinese navy “two live fire armys held exercises It is worrying in both countries near Australia and NZ. ”The leap point was in the Tasman Sea, 480 km south of Sydney, 640 km away from NSW town in international waters.

Canberra a diplomatic protest With Beijing; A fire storm watched from the right -wing press, and the commentators claimed that it was a test work for a Taiwan invasion.

Using this reasoning makes the launch of PSM a rehearsal to invade Indonesia.

Meaningless! Or? President Prabowo Subio, who loaned the Trump Xenophobia template, never calls names, but blame ominous ‘they’:

“For hundreds of years, even now they are standing us with money. They are financed to divide NGOs. They claim that democracy, human rights and freedom of press are supported.

Your reporter sometimes visits these ‘separatist’ NGOs’ in suburban termites rentals. Using chairs that could not get the weight of a stranger was a painful experience. There is a sign somewhere here.

If you have George Soros as a financier (regularly Prabowo allegations), agencies need more robust seats before meetings with the Portal US investor/philanthropist.

Ghost a future

Even more skinny is the expectation that the republic will not soon be more, as expected by researchers from other countries that work on the fact that Indonesia will go until 2030.

I’m really worried source From this horror, the US emerges as a science fiction: Ghost Fleet: A novel of the next World War. Thanks to the introduction of Prabowo, Indonesia has become Indonesia in 1984, referring to writers Peter Singer and August Cole as “strategic intelligence experts ..

Academics specializing in “fictional intelligence”.

Their conspiracy After a World War II, Indonesia existed as a failed state. “The pirates wander the waters of the waters and the criminals reveal the big areas of the country… There is a woman with cybernetic breasts on a sex scene (implanted, neuroprosthetic medical devices).”

Prabowo silenced the dystop and Sleaze: “This is a real phenomenon, so if you don’t want to believe me, you don’t want to hear me, it’s okay. obligation As a citizen; I have to talk when I see the danger. “

Neighbor trust?

Thinking that Indonesians are not afraid of Australia, but many do not trust it. In the late 1940s of this century, our role in supporting independence has been a concrete change because we doubted decades later.

“War is cutting both aspects,” says Lowy Institute questionnaire. “Australia’s attitude towards Indonesia is at best warm. And they betray a hidden doubt at worst.”

With Australia suspicion vs love from Indonesia

Professor Tim Lindsey is probably the most understanding of Australia, a few experts in Indonesia, is writing “Concerns about the AUKUS agreement… and Australia’s role in the independence of Timor-Leste in 1999.”

“This resulted in the famous tearing of the comprehensive security agreement of Indonesia in 1995 (the second president), which was negotiated with Soeharto.”

“The loss of Timor-Leste is still sorting some high-level Indonesian military figures. Australia and Indonesia have signed new security arrangements since then.

Regional War Games

One of the training exercises is already shot in Queensland. Although not China, approximately 35,000 soldiers from 19 countries including Indonesia and the USA are playing war games Dublaj Talisman Saber.

As the demonstration stopper, PSM was fired from the Bundey Mountain in the southeast of Darwin and flew more than three times the speed of sound.

ABC’s stale yarn did not report the direction or cost he had hit. Like commercial aircraft, missiles need to respect the airspace of a country – a region called a region of 100 km above sea level Karman line, Dreaming with a deep area

Indonesia Flores Island (population of two million) is 830 km north of Darwin.

The US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll was not uncertain about the purpose of PRSM: “President Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the rest of the Pentagon team were very clear. threatening Chinese.

We are actively designing our army so that we can respond to any threat from China.

Indonesian perspective

So do the Indonesians see the situation?

The PRC may be Washington’s incubation, but not Jakarta’s. Indonesia and China celebrated 75 years of diplomatic relations and continued with “trade, infrastructure development, energy and socio-cultural”. in accordance with To Jakarta -based Basic Services Reform Institute

Until 2022, China is the largest trade partner in Indonesia for ten years in a row.

The trade volume between the two countries increased more than twice in 2022 in 2013 in 2013.

“Indonesia is the main recipient of investment. Belt and road Projects, about 14.2 billion dollars… This shows that Indonesia has played a strategic partner in China’s political and economic agenda in Southeast Asia. “

Indonesia this year Participated The BRICS Trade block commanded by China, who is a rival to the Western Egemen G7. Critics claim that the world’s fourth largest nation is approaching (Ordinary Term ‘pivot’To imply a swing away from the West) to Russia and China.

OfficiallyIndonesia’s foreign policy is “independent and active… Indonesia is not about world forces… Therefore, it will be incompatible with the country’s national philosophy and identity.

The best policy to adopt is a policy that does not make us the object of an international conflict.

This philosophy was buried before entering the Australian missile age, Donald Trump began to look for shots, and the ghost fleet disturbed us all.
