I love Indonesia and the Indonesian people, but to say it would be possible, or even beneficial for either side to attack one another is a gross exageration. Firstly, Australia is "practically" owned by America and Great Britain. It's militarily covered by the commonwealth, and America has a number of military bases (both known, and unknown) on our continent. Secondly we live in the nuclear, chemical and biological age, so "typical war" of the old days (like WW2) is over...

@ad21lugi hate to say it but Australia alone could cripple Indonesia, air power is everything.

"East Timor Raid 1977: 3 days of war and liberate East Timor from Portugese."

This is not true. East Timor was already independent from portugal back in 75. Their freedom fighters their also stood their ground in the mountains for 25 years and won at the very end. Also, Indonesia could only invade the north of australia is if they avoid or take on australias navy and air. Which is unlikely. I am not hating on Indoensia. I think we should stop invading and focus on threats like China.

@jimmymohoney

agree.

this military and war issuea started between indonesia and malaysia arguing about borders, start from indonesia loosing Ligitan and Sipadan, continued with ambalat and the last is indonesian officers arrested by malaysian police while indonesia officers capture malaysian fishermen fishing in bintan water territorial . to all those problems we still try to stay cool, cause we know that there is only lost at war and gain nothing.

@GodLarvae yes the usa dosnt really have a proper special forces unit they just spend more money on certain units and call them special forces.

@winscomp i am kinda upset that the aussie government is only trying to get a relationship with america the smart thing to do would be to form an alliance consisting of all the countries surrounding it.

but i also believe that if there is no point in a war then why start one and that no war is a good war.

another story,. about how crazy of our F16 pilot

Indonesian pilot with old F16 able to chase and force an US F16 above papua. what crazy in this story is, the indonesian F16 is took off from java island and chase US F16 above papua, how in the world US F16 get cought if there is a very long distance between those 2 F16.

think by yourself, and maybe this kind of thing is one reason why US embargo our military equipment form USA. think 4 ur self
