Man, everything Jordie says about Australian economics and international policies this video really just reminds me of Canada's state of affairs - particularly that "sell materials to America to buy the finished goods from them at a premium" thing lol
Nothing pisses me off more than Americans acting like we're a state for them to suck dry and use for cottage vacations Americans really treat the rest of the world like absolute dogshit then take it super personally when people tell them to fuck off lmao
@untres2092 I gurantee you I never met anyone from the states who thought of Canada as practically a state. From my own PoV, they're good allies with open borders.
American neocolonialism in the English-speaking world remains one of the best (if subtle) examples that imperialism is not bound by ethnicity or ideas of "my people". Imperialists literally do not care who you are, as long as they can screw you over.
I can guarantee that 99% of americans couldnt give a rat's ass about Julian Assange. What the U.S. is doing here is the political equivalent of a tantrum, and I am personally appauled at our governments ineptitude
The Americans have been told Assange is public enemy #1, and they just accept it. I have argued with so many, they don't know why they hate him, but nothing will convince them otherwise. Critical thinking is no longer taught in schools.
It's not about Assange, it's about sending a message. That being that whistleblowers theoretically are protected by law they actually get thrown in prison.
Assange exposed how your country faked a war and destroyed multiple countries and pointlessly killed thousands of US citizens. He should be freed and awarded. If you seriously think 99% of Americans don't care about the person who took part in exposing the governments act of terrorism and spying against their own citizens and the wars they orchestrated all over the world for decades, *then you aren't American.*
Most of the younger people I know at least in the US (or at least at university) almost all care about Assange and want him freed. It’s sad so many of us don’t care though..
We’re perfectly situated for clean nuclear energy but we don’t do anything nuclear because we’re full of ignorant people who are anti nuclear. The propaganda is so effective even Jordies is anti nuclear.
With the north west coast there’s enough tidal “hotspots”(areas which naturally concentrate the movement of the tides) places like the Walcott inlet has potential to generate enough constant power to run a massive steel mill 24/7 and its right next to the worlds largest iron ore reserves and mines

@@randomdude4669 oh right, "muh private property so I can shoot people" or just any school or mall, that's how sad America has become that even americans seem to be used to mass shootings
In all fairness, they gave us Rupert Murdoch. They would need to have a much larger population in order to take stronger positions in negotiations. Given their current immigration policies, that's not happening any time soon. I don't exactly feel bad for Australia. Also, the US is an evil prison police state and they're never and they're never going to let go of Assange. I hope Australia builds a much better society than the US eventually.
As a M'rrikan, I fully support releasing Assange. It should always be legal to expose crimes, especially the crimes of governments. This is why the freedom of the press was enshrined in our constitution. The statues depicting Justice show her as blindfolded for a reason justice should be applied equally to all regardless of station or the station of those you embarrassed. Justice is also frequently depicted as showing her boob, indicating the profound misjustice in public decency laws as nice boobs should always be legal to display.
That is a good point though. Australia in exchange for buying those many billions of dollars worth of nuclear powered submarines and F-35 fighter jets, Australia should have at least tried to negotiate for the US to pardon Julian Assange (or at least get the US to give Assange an amnesty deal in which Assange would give the US whatever intel or communications records he has on the Russians in exchange for a pardon from President Biden). If Sweden still wants to arrest Assange then that's up to them.
The fact that he needs to be tried for actual crimes is so often overlooked. He probably should do time, just not for the offences he’s being held for.
1000000% percent recommend people read Fernandes' stuff. Sub-Imperial power is only 280 pages long, although technically the part you read is only 250 pages longs, and can be smashed out in a few days or weeks. The final 30 pages of the book is literally just references because this book is researched out the ass-hole, not surprising given the author is a retired Aus Army intelligence analyst turned University of Melbourne professor.
Ok, so I watch you all the time. That explanation of Australias role as being subordinate to the US etc etc was enlightening. Never thought of it in that context.

I know that my MP (Plaid Cymru) and a bunch of other MPs are trying to get him released on the grounds that it's an illegal extradition but it's unlikely that the conservative home secretary will change anything since she isn't the best at obeying the law at the best of times (the rowanda policy and speeding charges if you're interested)
Oh I don't know, Braverman seems like a Poundland Patel, and the government is getting very good at getting comically tripped up by lawsuits at the moment. But yeah, we'll see, I guess. Assange's case has ground to a halt, and after the US spat on us a lot behind the scenes there seems to have been very little desire to do anything except leave him in legal limbo. Better Belmarsh than Gitmo, I guess
The hoops we had to jump through to bring someone home who fought for the other team in Afghanistan should have shown us that what you're saying is true. No Australian should be an American political prisoner.
Screw Australia, they provided Rupert Murdock. If that means they are subservient, let them languish in their slavery. They need to be on the team for everyone or they deserve to be held as an enemy.
Yeah, I've been hearing about Australia's economic flaws and their potential solutions from the Australian Citizens Party recently. The media always points out systemic problems but rarely presents solutions.

Which area of reddit is Jordan attacking, I just go there for warhammer!? Describing Australia as a rich quarry is so damning of our real global status, but most Aussies think that were some global player of supreme importance rather than being a $2 bargain shop for natural resources. Also where did Jordan's ear lobes go, did someone eat them?
honestly, his own subreddit and probably r/Australia or anything involving housing and renting/tenanting in Aus. Jordan has milquetoast Labor policy takes on housing and doesn't give due credibility to the Greens policies, he just spouts the commercial media's talking points because he's more of a Labor simp than he is a lefty. So people trash him about it on reddit and this is his best way to get back at them. i agree with a lot of his material, particularly in this video, but the hate on the Greens is unnecessary, the Greens and their stubbornness are the reasons why there have been improvements to the Labor housing package.
Really disappointed that isn't a video about whether America could beat up Australia in a fight. Haven't been this disappointed since my Australian host family made me try vegemite as an exchange student :/
I mean, America would win without a doubt. I'm not saying that to be a simp for the US but just because the public data shows how strong American military might is. Lets say it was just purely conventional warfare, no nuclear bombs. The US military, Navy, and Airforce are fucking huge and the amount of natural resources in America would allow them to sustain a solid war effort for a long time before needing outside help and before that point the Australians wouldn't be needing to worry about the Kangaroos going extinct anymore because they would be as well.
@@ghostpuppolter3207did people actually think this video was going to be about a war with america vs australia 😂, australia has always been a loyal follower
My guess is that you guys did haggle the submarines *_down to_* sticker price. Much like Darth Vader, the USA is long known for altering the terms of their own agreements.
USAID doing a regime change in Australia like they've done in Ukraine, Libya, Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan, Tunisia, and soon in Nigeria is always a possibility.
Thank you for keeping Assange in the media. America can’t claim to be a democracy until they see transparency as good thing and free Assange. There is no accountability without transparency , and without accountability it means the will of the people is irrelevant, or not a democracy .
As an American, we're not a Democracy. Actual Americans who support America (not "the Government," but the United States,) know that the U.S. is a Constitutional Republic based on the will of the People. Our government are the ones who "claim" to be a Democracy, based on the will of ruling Government. The people - the educated ones who actually understand our foundational history, anyways, - disagree. We're not a democracy. We never have been.
@@glasscardproductions4736correct. However, in this instance, America is in fact a democracy. Not a very good one, a backsliding one for at least the last decade if not the last 25 years, but a democracy nevertheless
Had never thought about it but its true, theres no real jobs to make the things we consume, either in the low or high end of things. Theres no low skill factory work because the entire western world outsources that to the developing world/china in lieu of slavery or having to do the unthinkable and pay reasonable amounts for things. And theres basically no high end work like entertainment, electronics, etc because that all comes from the states. So its basically just trades, the omnipresent generic office job and mining for the most part.
The fact that no one ever thinks about this is interesting to me, as soon as I started reading leftist critiques I began analysing my country (Australia) in the global imperial context and asked myself how are are so rich with such a poorly diversified economy. I can't remember when I first discovered how bad it was but maybe 2016 when I was looking up various economic indices, that's when it all clicked, we have our imperial master the USA and a lot of minerals, that's all we need. We are the world's mineral outpost.
Never heard of you until yesterday when a Coffeezilla (a guy I had heard of faintly but never watched) video showed up in my timeline. And the video was about you and Coronation. Now, I've watched several of your videos in the last say...20 hours. Excellent content. I knew there were aspects of Australia that were dodgy (like King's Cross and Redfern (where I had my windows rolled up and the door locked in my ex-girlfriend's Mazda Astina in 2002 when riding through there), police beating innocent citizens in 2020 and 2021, the Behavioral Modification Police at AFL Games in Victoria, and the Border Services folks fining tourists hundreds of dollars for bringing in an apple), but you've really taken things to another level. You're like a spiced up version of The Chaser's War On Everything for the 2020s. Well done.
I agree with Fernadez's characterisation of Australia's place in the world, and personally can't wait for the US version of a rules based order to collapse.

@@midgetwars1Reddit is turning pro nuclear nowadays as the misinformation about it is cleared up. I will still say there’s plenty of very vocal people who are anti nuclear energy on reddit who when confronted can’t come up with a single coherent point backed by anything but fear mongering propaganda that is demonstrably false. Now that I think about it, Jordan is actually a perfect redditor. He may be politically savvy but anything scientifically or technically related and he comes off as a bit of a hick.
Australia is only buying 3 Virginia-class subs from the US, the 8 AUKUS-class subs they're buying are not going to cost $368B immediately. The article says that the AUKUS program is expected to cost $268-368B between now and the mid 2050's. AUKUS-class subs incorporate some US technology but they're being built by British BAE Systems in the UK and Australia.
Your content has great value to us Americans. Learning about NSW corruption reminds me to keep an eye on the same in Arizona. I hear about things about my own government that I did not see as sinister until you brought it up. The sub thing did seem a bit pricey, based on population. . . .it was sold to us as ganging up on China. And insulting France? And, I enjoy learning about Australia. but, never loose your contempt for the US. Even for the views.
just like it is for Albo, bellowing "FREE ASSANGE!" is pretense to appease a temporary public mood they'll do nothing more, wait for the short attention span of the public to wane, and move on to the next distraction
I still wouldn't trust someone with a surname "Shanks" - back in the olden times surnames were derived from our ancestors professions. Couple that with the fact that AUS is a former prison colony.
Its a bit unfair to say Australia is just a quarry....we also sell houses and coffees to each other...and um we have the Superannuation industry surely that's pretty complex taking workers pay and buying stocks and then sending workers pretty PDFs..
welcome to the club, you're welcome here. I'm in Australia but I know exactly what you mean, you don't really get this kind of commentary and analysis there
It's not even a viewpoint, it's just the objective truth. It's also much more similar to the Roman system it was modeled after than most people care to realize. No actual vassals, just "do as i tell you to because you'll make a lot of money and the alternative is 11 aircraft carriers." No wars of aggression, just "We were in a country 10,000 miles from the capital in self-defense obviously!"
As an American, it’s shameful how the US has handled the Julian Assange case and how both parties in our country have essentially not been on the right side of this case. Our foreign policy is aggressive and a sham to democracy and I hope to see a day where Julian Assange is free back in his homeland or wherever he chooses to go. Even though most Americans don’t know who he is or care, I hope there can be more light shed on the case here, this situation isn’t over yet.
Ahhh Jordies, IF I saw the nuclear subs that would mean they are failing at their job. We should be grateful that the submarines surpass my perception abilities. Only the highest ranked master elf would have a chance to detect their presence.
As an American, I would apologize for my country’s lack of respect for Australian sovereignty, but I remembered that as an ordinary citizen, I never had a say in what the deep state did.
America may present itself as a democracy, but when your choices are "Senile Old Man" and "Senile Old Man" you come to realise the president is more of a puppet for the peasantry to squabble over while the actual people running the country do so from the shadows

Hello All, I have come to the conclusion that Paul Keating's assessment at the National Press Club is spot on, we are the only mugs paying, and for what ? Morrison did AUKUS to wedge Labour,so Labour agreed ! At this point in time, the UK Royal Navy / RN has 6 destroyers and 11 frigates, 2 aircraft carriers ( currently without aircraft ) 2 amphibious assault ships. Realistically, this surface fleet is unable to protect itself ( 1 aircraft carrier needs at least 2 destroyers and 2 frigates for its defence ), and there is usually one third of the fleet in some form of refit. The RN is primarily tasked with NATO North Atlantic Area duties, so it is highly unlikely a RN surface Task Group will be heading down under any time soon. The RN also has 4 ballistic nuclear submarines ( SSBN ) and 6 nuclear Fleet / attack submarines ( SSN ), again primarily a NATO North Atlantic Area, plus deference patrols in the South Atlantic. Again, it is highly unlikely that we will see a RN submarine down under any time soon. ( Yes, I know the RN also has a small ship fleet, but small ships do not escort aircraft carriers, nor do they normally circumnavigate the globe, which a southern oceans excursion entails ! ) So, in effect, the Royal Australian Navy / RAN will be buying, and operating very expensive SSNs on behalf of the US. Countries currently using SSNs all have a nuclear power industry, Australia does not, nor does it have a need for a nuclear power industry. Countries that have a nuclear power industry are very well aware that it needs a very hefty subsidy, ( as Margaret Thatcher found out when privatising the publically owned electricity supply industry ) which they are willing to pay for because it underpins their defence posture, and gives them potential access to nuclear weapons, which is what both Pakistan and India did. It should also be noted that both the RAN and Royal Swedish Navy / RSwN both use a Swedish design conventional submarine, and both the RAN and RSwN submarines have, on exercises, both successfully penetrated the protecting cordon of USN escorts around a USN aircraft carrier and theoretically sunk the carrier. The USN currently has a RSwN submarine attached to the USN for extended trials and exercises, so the need for Australia to have an SSN escapes me. Which brings us to the Quad ( US, Japan, Australia, India ). I suspect that India's attraction to the Quad has more ro do with India projecting an image of a middle ranking nuclear power with powerful friends, rather than India having any intention of being supportive of the other 3 members. Independent India prefers to be the outlier, it has no intention, or want, to make any contribution that may possibly have an effect on India, or contribute to any arrangement that may upset any of its existing trading partners, In India, procrastination is the norm, so I personally do not think that India's contribution would extend much beyond window dressing. My thoughts for now, regards to all/
Well, we do have a lot of Uranium lying around, and the blueprints for a fission bomb are actually scarily easy to access… Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have an idea
As an American it’s absolutely pathetic how poorly US media covers foreign affairs. People like to say it’s because Americans don’t care, but the stories are intentionally one sided and isolated with limited global context. Otherwise it would be hard to create a narrative that isn’t us being the baddies.

They would have done it because there is no way America can have Australia without those subs! lol Besides, that gives the Americans the one thing they need that they need that no-one has offered, a reason
Dutton wants Assange about as much as Albo does, imagine being one of those idiots like Robbie Barwick that actually thought or thinks Assange is coming home! 😂
just going to forget assange took refuge in the embassy in UK to avoid being extradited to sweden over rape allegations by 2 different parties. Assange’s lawyers were worried that once in Sweden, he might be extradited to the US to face charges related to WikiLeaks. So Assange sought asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy. In 2015, the statute of limitations on Ardin’s allegation expired. And in 2017, Swedish authorities dropped their investigation into Miss W’s claim because they saw no way to proceed while Assange was in the embassy. wikileaks good. rape bad. fleeing from accusations also bad.
I have to say watching this video it just reaffirms my view, I'm with Keating all the way re AUKUS. At my ripe old age, having grown up amongst animated debate about our subservience to the American empire back in the days of the Gulf War, how dismaying it is to see the days of yore reinforced by AUKUS. It is just like being back in the 80's which I think is monstrous and potentially quite dangerous. It is a shame, a real shame that it's gone back to this and not moved forward like I thought it'd do. NZ have done it so it proves sovereignty is possible. It is a shame Labour is hog tied by the Yanks and I mean what are they now? A fuck eyed basket case where Trump is still a problem, I mean who would want to be America's bitch now?
It's too bad you're so short sighted. Sickening to know that there are Aussies who would prefer to sit back and support Chinese imperialism because it would line our pockets in the short term. Peacemongers are foul.
Yo that bit of Austrillia south of New South Wales(5:26) looks like a fucking happy face. :D Look at him so happy. Oh he is saying something? Assenge is a traitor? Oh never mind that bit then.
I was looking forward to the funny content, not about how the US is doing its neo-colonialism on the entire ass world. But Jordan's videos still make me laugh ❤ Definitely learned something new too!
The assange situation feels a lot like an incredibly dangerous toddler with a gun and also nuclear warheads + missiles upset you've taken a toy away. Unrelated: business idea- easy mandarin for dummies.
3:15 Wait Port Kembla a target? Holy fuck I gotta move before the radioactive fallout hits Dapto station and Damo and Darren become SLIGHTLY more radioactive.
I mean having a nuclear submarine fleet of your own helps us cover more ground when it comes to Chinese encroachment on the Pacific. I do absolutely agree that we should just drop the whole Assange thing, but the subs are important, especially with the Cold War starting back up.
@hoptoit6495 Nuclear submarines can cover a pretty significant area, and they can stay submerged for as long as they have food. The pricetag is there for a reason; they are game-changers. Admittedly (like most American defense goods) I do believe there is some price-gouging going on. Yay military industrial complex! Unfortunately, the looming threat of Sinicization of the Pacific kind of makes the military industrial complex issue less of a priority. At least for now.
That wont really do much as Chinese fishing boats already harass and destroy Australia’s and many more countries territorial water economies in the Indian and Pacific oceans. Australia’s brown water fleet can’t do much to stop anything.
i remember the Australians would set off flares everywhere in Afghanistan. We had pen flares within ISAF in 2010 and we had them taken away because they lit a few locals on fire and we had molotovs thrown back at us in retaliation
"we are part of their empire, they are not part of ours" I like the implications here, the Australian empire, with Bazza from Bathurst as the emperor. Australia dominatur mundo
Exactly. Ask any Labor MP about it and they'll all talk about how much they want to free Assange, how they've joined groups and signed petitions etc... Meanwhile Albo signed a deal for hundreds of billions of dollars and has been putting NO pressure on Washington to make this happen. It's all talk.

In all fairness, they gave us Rupert Murdoch. They would need to have a much larger population in order to take stronger positions in negotiations. Given their current immigration policies, that's not happening any time soon. I don't exactly feel bad for Australia. Also, the US is an evil prison police state and they're never and they're never going to let go of Assange. I hope Australia builds a much better society than the US eventually.
As a M'rrikan, I fully support releasing Assange. It should always be legal to expose crimes, especially the crimes of governments. This is why the freedom of the press was enshrined in our constitution. The statues depicting Justice show her as blindfolded for a reason justice should be applied equally to all regardless of station or the station of those you embarrassed. Justice is also frequently depicted as showing her boob, indicating the profound misjustice in public decency laws as nice boobs should always be legal to display.

That is a good point though.
Australia in exchange for buying those many billions of dollars worth of nuclear powered submarines and F-35 fighter jets, Australia should have at least tried to negotiate for the US to pardon Julian Assange (or at least get the US to give Assange an amnesty deal in which Assange would give the US whatever intel or communications records he has on the Russians in exchange for a pardon from President Biden).
If Sweden still wants to arrest Assange then that's up to them.
The fact that he needs to be tried for actual crimes is so often overlooked. He probably should do time, just not for the offences he’s being held for.

Nothing wrong with bargains galore
honestly, his own subreddit and probably r/Australia or anything involving housing and renting/tenanting in Aus. Jordan has milquetoast Labor policy takes on housing and doesn't give due credibility to the Greens policies, he just spouts the commercial media's talking points because he's more of a Labor simp than he is a lefty. So people trash him about it on reddit and this is his best way to get back at them.
i agree with a lot of his material, particularly in this video, but the hate on the Greens is unnecessary, the Greens and their stubbornness are the reasons why there have been improvements to the Labor housing package.

Lets say it was just purely conventional warfare, no nuclear bombs. The US military, Navy, and Airforce are fucking huge and the amount of natural resources in America would allow them to sustain a solid war effort for a long time before needing outside help and before that point the Australians wouldn't be needing to worry about the Kangaroos going extinct anymore because they would be as well.

Had never thought about it but its true, theres no real jobs to make the things we consume, either in the low or high end of things. Theres no low skill factory work because the entire western world outsources that to the developing world/china in lieu of slavery or having to do the unthinkable and pay reasonable amounts for things. And theres basically no high end work like entertainment, electronics, etc because that all comes from the states. So its basically just trades, the omnipresent generic office job and mining for the most part.

The fact that no one ever thinks about this is interesting to me, as soon as I started reading leftist critiques I began analysing my country (Australia) in the global imperial context and asked myself how are are so rich with such a poorly diversified economy. I can't remember when I first discovered how bad it was but maybe 2016 when I was looking up various economic indices, that's when it all clicked, we have our imperial master the USA and a lot of minerals, that's all we need. We are the world's mineral outpost.

Even though most Americans don’t know who he is or care, I hope there can be more light shed on the case here, this situation isn’t over yet.

Hello All, I have come to the conclusion that Paul Keating's assessment at the National Press Club is spot on, we are the only mugs paying, and for what ? Morrison did AUKUS to wedge Labour,so Labour agreed !
At this point in time, the UK Royal Navy / RN has 6 destroyers and 11 frigates, 2 aircraft carriers ( currently without aircraft ) 2 amphibious assault ships. Realistically, this surface fleet is unable to protect itself ( 1 aircraft carrier needs at least 2 destroyers and 2 frigates for its defence ), and there is usually one third of the fleet in some form of refit. The RN is primarily tasked with NATO North Atlantic Area duties, so it is highly unlikely a RN surface Task Group will be heading down under any time soon. The RN also has 4 ballistic nuclear submarines ( SSBN ) and 6 nuclear Fleet / attack submarines ( SSN ), again primarily a NATO North Atlantic Area, plus deference patrols in the South Atlantic. Again, it is highly unlikely that we will see a RN submarine down under any time soon. ( Yes, I know the RN also has a small ship fleet, but small ships do not escort aircraft carriers, nor do they normally circumnavigate the globe, which a southern oceans excursion entails ! )
So, in effect, the Royal Australian Navy / RAN will be buying, and operating very expensive SSNs on behalf of the US. Countries currently using SSNs all have a nuclear power industry, Australia does not, nor does it have a need for a nuclear power industry. Countries that have a nuclear power industry are very well aware that it needs a very hefty subsidy, ( as Margaret Thatcher found out when privatising the publically owned electricity supply industry ) which they are willing to pay for because it underpins their defence posture, and gives them potential access to nuclear weapons, which is what both Pakistan and India did.
It should also be noted that both the RAN and Royal Swedish Navy / RSwN both use a Swedish design conventional submarine, and both the RAN and RSwN submarines have, on exercises, both successfully penetrated the protecting cordon of USN escorts around a USN aircraft carrier and theoretically sunk the carrier. The USN currently has a RSwN submarine attached to the USN for extended trials and exercises, so the need for Australia to have an SSN escapes me.
Which brings us to the Quad ( US, Japan, Australia, India ). I suspect that India's attraction to the Quad has more ro do with India projecting an image of a middle ranking nuclear power with powerful friends, rather than India having any intention of being supportive of the other 3 members. Independent India prefers to be the outlier, it has no intention, or want, to make any contribution that may possibly have an effect on India, or contribute to any arrangement that may upset any of its existing trading partners, In India, procrastination is the norm, so I personally do not think that India's contribution would extend much beyond window dressing.
My thoughts for now, regards to all/
Well, we do have a lot of Uranium lying around, and the blueprints for a fission bomb are actually scarily easy to access…

Dutton wants Assange about as much as Albo does, imagine being one of those idiots like Robbie Barwick that actually thought or thinks Assange is coming home! 😂
just going to forget assange took refuge in the embassy in UK to avoid being extradited to sweden over rape allegations by 2 different parties.
Assange’s lawyers were worried that once in Sweden, he might be extradited to the US to face charges related to WikiLeaks. So Assange sought asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy.
In 2015, the statute of limitations on Ardin’s allegation expired. And in 2017, Swedish authorities dropped their investigation into Miss W’s claim because they saw no way to proceed while Assange was in the embassy. wikileaks good. rape bad. fleeing from accusations also bad.
I have to say watching this video it just reaffirms my view, I'm with Keating all the way re AUKUS. At my ripe old age, having grown up amongst animated debate about our subservience to the American empire back in the days of the Gulf War, how dismaying it is to see the days of yore reinforced by AUKUS. It is just like being back in the 80's which I think is monstrous and potentially quite dangerous. It is a shame, a real shame that it's gone back to this and not moved forward like I thought it'd do. NZ have done it so it proves sovereignty is possible. It is a shame Labour is hog tied by the Yanks and I mean what are they now? A fuck eyed basket case where Trump is still a problem, I mean who would want to be America's bitch now?

I mean having a nuclear submarine fleet of your own helps us cover more ground when it comes to Chinese encroachment on the Pacific. I do absolutely agree that we should just drop the whole Assange thing, but the subs are important, especially with the Cold War starting back up.
@hoptoit6495 Nuclear submarines can cover a pretty significant area, and they can stay submerged for as long as they have food. The pricetag is there for a reason; they are game-changers. Admittedly (like most American defense goods) I do believe there is some price-gouging going on. Yay military industrial complex! Unfortunately, the looming threat of Sinicization of the Pacific kind of makes the military industrial complex issue less of a priority. At least for now.
That wont really do much as Chinese fishing boats already harass and destroy Australia’s and many more countries territorial water economies in the Indian and Pacific oceans. Australia’s brown water fleet can’t do much to stop anything.
