The sub deal was bad from the start

The Aussie defense experts idiots looked at a perfectly good sub and said we will buy it IF it is diesel so as to pacify the idiot greens in our country
A Nuclear sub is much smaller than a modern diesel so the new sub had to be designed from the ground up WHY WHY

So many design challenges, many cost overflows, many delays and we were not going to get them until about 2040

The USA is another whole argument, they are looking at thee points of the compass to spread their power. their defense and to do so in SAFE countries

So it has given the Australian government a convenient way out of another disastrous defense contract and they make the US happy and they don't have to make any more decisions, just do what they are told

I also think everyone is putting far too much emphasis on the submarines , this is part/the beginning of a lot of technology shared.

Theres no way Australia on its own can go to war with China , (I don’t even think it will happen ) , but there has to be a deterrent, and a way Australia can defend its waters . AGAINST ANYONE.

Im just glad when I was serving that the people on this forum weren’t in charge,
