The measure, which its proponents have openly stated is aimed at preparing for a disastrous war with China, has the character of a conspiracy against the ...

The advanced preparations for a conflict that could rapidly involve nuclear weapons demonstrates that this sentiment must be developed into a conscious political movement of the international working class, aimed at halting the catastrophe that capitalism is preparing. That included the establishment of a new US base in Darwin, which now hosts more than 2,000 marines and other measures integrating Australia into the US war machine. Yet, the US, as a matter of policy, refuses to confirm or deny whether any of its nuclear-capable war planes and warships are carrying nuclear payloads. Under the pact, Australia is acquiring nuclear-powered submarines and has also been earmarked as a launch site for new era hypersonic missiles.

An Australian television program yesterday revealed advanced plans for the US to station B-52 bombers in northern Australia.
