just a few thoughts for discussion..

I think that a few facts that need to be accounted for in a fictious war between ANZ and Indonesia for supremacy and oil in the region .

The oil involved will mean that the UK and the US will spare little expence to ensure there is no treath to Brunei. The sole reason for maintaining this nation was to secure the oil after the colonial era ended.

The Indonesians know this and play the part of the disgruntled neighbour that needs to be placated by Bruneis supporters.Look at the arms deals between the US/UK and Indonesia over the years.

It has been the way of London/Washington to allow the Indonesian dictators wiggleroom to keep from getting communists or in our time islamists in Djakarta.

So given the unofficial support of these major players how would an Indonesian/ANZ war ferment and escalate ?
For the US and UK to abandon its allies in the Axis of G`day seems unthinkable.
But losing Indonesia is a hairy prospect as well because of shipping lanes,oil and the sheer size of it and its population.

Also the Indonesians are not a homogenous population .They represent alot of different ethnicities ,languages ,religions and social classes.
Uniting these in holy war /Jihad would take a major civil war first or the islamists would have a two front war going ,possibly three as there are divides between the moslems that run quite deep .(Indonesians have moslems of the youtube with AKs variety ,but also modern/liberals that wouldnt dream of waging war less it was self defense).

Anyways -these are just a few of my thoughts -and I surely did not mean to start a political discussion -but a backdrop to said scenario.

In the near future the fate of nations hang in the balance .In a tropical hell one man will fight a war that can change human history for hundreds of years.Battles fiercer than anything the world has seen since the world war will rage on the sea and in the air.From the byzantine halls of power in Beijing to steps of the Capitol, a conspiracy that will shock the world will unravel...

Perhaps a closer alignment/mutual support with Beijing for Indonesia,a US bogged down in costly wars in the middle east (possibly on new fronts )with some sort of economical crisis that depletes its navy /airforce so that it cant intervene at will anymore- and then a political gambit from Djakarta /Beijing to seize the oil in the region ..But something goes horribly wrong..Circumstances lead to a spark that sets of the tense situation and before anyone understands it a full blown shooting match ensues.
