Australian military think tank strategises building “social licence” for war - World Socialist Web Site

An Australian military think tank strategising to build public consent for potential conflict signals institutional recognition that major kinetic scenarios (Taiwan, Indo-Pacific) require civilian buy-in and sustained political/social support. This reflects ADF posture-setting for credibility and deterrence, but does not itself change the probability that China will attack Taiwan or that the US will withdraw; it addresses Australia's ability to sustain alliance commitment and defence mobilisation if such events occur.
