Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has warned of the growing risk of military conflict between China and the United States amid rising nationalism in both countries in the run-up to the US presidential election.
Rudd, who led Australia from 2007-2010 and again for three months in 2013, said on Thursday that a build-up of Chinese and US forces in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait raised the possibility of a “conflict through miscalculation and escalation” ahead of the November 3 vote.
“There’s a real danger that with a collapsing diplomatic relationship and an erosion of all forms of political capital between the two countries in their bilateral relationship, if you have an incident of a ship colliding with another ship, an aircraft colliding with another aircraft … then you have a crisis with an aircraft down or a ship as to what then happens,” Rudd warns.
“Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke” Hosea 5:9
