Government review: Australian military is not "fit for purpose"Fox News and Tucker Carlson have a falling out.

Canberra is set to adapt its military assets due to ongoing US-China tension. A comprehensive assessment of Australia’s defense forces has found that the country’s military must undergo drastic changes if it is to have the capacity to address fluctuating strategic demands in the Indo-Pacific. The Defense Strategic Review, released on Monday, declared Australia’s armed forces to be not “fit for purpose” and called for increased spending on assets, including long-range missiles and military drones. China’s foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said countries should not “hype up the so-called China threat narrative” and that Beijing remains committed to maintaining peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific and the whole world. In March, Beijing expressed its anger at elements of the AUKUS military alliance between the US, UK and Australia, saying that Washington’s move to provide Canberra with three nuclear-powered Virginia class submarines amounted to the allies “walking further and further down the path of error and danger.”
