Some analysis: LINK

Cliff notes: US forms new military alliance with UK and Australia, called AUKUS.

Australia will build 8 new nuclear missle subs, using technology provided by the US.

Australian subs likely to be based on US designs, something that has only happened once before in history. The US has shared nuke technology with the UK in the past, but not to this extent.

Australia expands nuclear arsenal and can be expected to expand air arm as well.

US gets "Many" new military bases in Australia, you can expect UK to share.

The table getting stacked against China.

I saw some headlines saying France was furious. but why? were they in the running for this too or something and Australia was picked instead?

I don't have any issue with this on the surface. but yeah.. Japan should be involved as well (I think). Australia isn't going to do shite when China starts rocking the boat.. but hey.. neither are we.. so what does it matter, I guess.

I'd have thrown in a conditional demand with Australia, that they immediately restore the liberties of their citizens.

Word around the campfire is little Macron was backing Merkel....and the germans have been selling silent Diesel tech to the Germans.

Ask any guy wearing dolphins on their uniform. Diesel subs (especially hybrids like the swiss have) are more silent than our nukes. crazy shite, i know. So, the Germans were kinda pissing us off since Trump wanted that to stop. They didnt listen so here we are with this deal.

it just also Makes more sense to Sell to Australia since, you know, they are right fricking there.

I heard earlier that France had already won the submarine contracts and the Australian government backed out of the deal to sign with the US once the nuclear technology became available.

So to answer your “why” question, money

WW3 is inevitable boys. You might as well stack it up to win the damn thing, cuz it's gonna happen wether you want it or not.

China has no intention of backing down.

If we have it China has already stolen the tech too. You can bank on that

I bet this will be 5 eyes on steroids. They will be sending Alexander Downers and GCHQ after any politician that isn't an establishment drone. Say goodbye to any hope of outsider politicians.

France is pissed. Aussie subs were supposed to be French. Millions of dollars spent by France.

Come on, Texas independence. I'll fight for that, for my own self-determination, and for the freedom and liberty of my family. I'm not fighting a war for the dumbfricks in DC, and I'm not fighting a war for someone else's country. They can frick all the way off with that.

I have those dolphins (submarine warfare pin) you’re talking about, and this is not true, except for the older LAs.

An Ohio class on natural circulation laughs at that claim.

I was also unaware that the landlocked country of Switzerland had a submarine force, but you learn something new everyday I guess.

Aussies got rewarded by our commie government because of the way they’ve cracked down on their citizens. Took their guns. Setting up camps for anti vaxxers etc…

frick britain, the aussies, the canadians, and everyone associated with those cocksuckers.

Britain and vassals are ENEMIES of america. They've done everything they could to interfere in our elections.

I'd leave them all to starve and die on their own without any help from us. frick Britain.

The goal is to give the Aussies the capability to permanently secure their own supply lines.
