During this time, Australia has been jumping up and down on its relationship with China, and its former defense minister, Kim Biazley, even wants to join forces with India to compete with China. But while keeping an eye on China, an incident in Iraq startled them. An Australian diplomatic convoy reportedly exploded nearby as it entered the "green zone" of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, causing serious damage to multiple vehicles and disappearing without a trace.
This is reminiscent of the "Dukina attack" in Russia some time ago, which was a premeditated attack on the official level, which implied a strong threat signal. Of course, some people will think that such "unknown attacks" in Iraq are not unusual, but in most cases, they are targeted at US military bases or US embassies, and Australia rarely becomes the protagonist of such incidents.
It goes back two years to the last time Australia was attacked in Iraq, and even that time was devastated. At that time, two rockets exploded about 100 meters from the U.S. embassy, apparently targeting the United States, but that area was also the seat of embassies of other countries. Even if it was only affected, the australian defense minister at the time spoke out, expressing concern about the situation. But this time, the target of the attack was clear, that is, it was directed at Australia.
However, it is not difficult to understand that Iraq is rarely targeting Australia, after all, when the United States violated the United Nations regulations to launch the Iraq War, Australia was one of the countries that followed the US military, and there is countless evidence about the crimes committed by the Australian army in the Middle East. At this time, in addition to Australia, the United States is probably the most likely to be "frightened". After all, too many things have been done in Iraq that hurt nature and nature, and the attacks against the US military in Iraq have also increased in recent times, but I am afraid that the next action will be taken against the United States, and the "big gift" prepared will be more "surprised".
In addition, there are also moves against the United States in the Middle East, and the US military base in Syria has been attacked by rockets one after another, and many US troops have been injured. This is believed to be a counterattack on Biden's order to strike Syria, but Biden's order was intended to counter the earlier attack on the US military base. It can be seen that the "fist" deterrent power of the US military has been greatly weakened, not only failing to successfully deter the opponent, but also arousing anger.
It can be seen that the US plan to return to the Middle East has basically failed before it has begun. Not only are former allies no longer obedient, but opponents who have been suppressed and beaten will be more fierce because of the threat of force. All this shows that the influence and deterrence of the United States and the West in the Middle East are declining sharply, and the "glory" of the United States in the region will eventually become history.
As the saying goes, "the higher you jump, the heavier you fall," and recently the United States and Australia have been talking loudly about China. The United States wants to use Australia as a pawn, and Australia wants to use India as a striker, brushing up its presence internationally. This attack can also be regarded as a wake-up call to the United States and Australia, don't float too high, there are still people behind the scenes waiting for the opportunity to move, at any time will retaliate against the United States and Australia. From this point of view, the United States and Australia, which have almost offended all non-Western countries, are the real dangers.
After all, this new round of turmoil in the Middle East seems to indicate that the "fire of revenge" has been burning in the Middle East, and those Western countries that have committed numerous crimes in the Middle East should be careful, especially the United States and its vassals, including iraq and Syria, the people of the Middle East, have never forgotten the pain they have brought to this land, not unreported, the time has not come, and sooner or later those who have committed deep sins will be liquidated.
