The AUKUS Submarine Deal is Dead nationalsecurityjournal.org/th

The U.S. Navy is struggling to build and maintain its own submarine fleet and cannot spare any Virginia-class boats, while the UK’s industry has no surplus capacity to make up the shortfall.

We are a Pacific nation. Japan is a pacific nation & ally with far greater technology than the U.S. & UK. Japan would be a far better fit for our submarines. After all, Japan is building our ships.

Now, if we could just revive that contract with France for strategic non-nuclear submarines...

Alo Japan All About Japan · Japan closes in on biggest ever defense export with frigate selectionJapan has struggled to export cutting-edge defense equipment. However, past disappointments have been turned on their head after Japan won selection for a lucrative Australian frigate requirement worth up to US$6.5 billion.With its shortlisting confirmed by Canberra on Aug. 5, Japan’s Ministry of Defense immediately tweeted that “we welcome this decision as it marks a major step toward elevating our security cooperation as ‘Special Strategic Partner’ to even greater heights.”The Royal Australian Navy – or RAN for short – plans to procure 11 well-armed upgraded Mogami-class frigates. The Japanese platform emerged the victor after a fierce contest with the MEKO

This is kinda how I already saw it.

"But in today’s historical narrative, Beijing wants to emphasize the War of Resistance not only as a unique Chinese experience, but as part of the shared global war against fascism. In this way, the CCP wants to remind Western countries that they fought together alongside Japan – and that Japan, on the side of “fascism”, was associated with Nazi Germany."

quote from The Diplomat thediplomat.com/2015/08/what-c What China Means by a ‘Correct View’ on WW2 History

But I heard that from Chinese news for the first time today
open.spotify.com/episode/4YRbi I found the article on the diplomat when I searched for other examples

“It extends to former and political on both sides of . Naturally, those who have served in or shadow defence portfolios have been in hottest demand.

The list includes former ministers , , , , and , former Liberal opposition leader and former prime minister .

And the federal government’s register of shows dozens of former staffers who have joined advisory firms with defence clients. Among them are , former staffer to three Nationals leaders; , a former national security adviser to one-time Labor leader Simon Crean; , a one-time chief of staff to Anthony Albanese; , the former chief of staff to Pyne; and , a former staffer to then-shadow defence minister Richard Marles and former prime minister .”

Miserable bastards in government, c@nts in public life.

Nobody - the government, the defence establishment, even Sky news - has explained why these installations are a problem for Australia. All they do is mutter about “keeping shipping channels open”. The country most committed to keeping East China shipping lanes open? That would be China. #auspol #aukus abc.net.au/news/2025-07-30/tra

Frank Yuan on #AUKUS #SSN Virginia class commits a number of grave errors when one’s reporting is to be seriously considered.

He confuses #SSN with #SSNB, confounds platforms with weapon types, fails to disambiguate #missions and #capability, and that on top of it all disregards the independance of #Australian Statehood.

All of the above are symptomatic of the cherry-picking arguments put forward by anti-AUKUS commentators. Whether AUKUS is a good or bad thing for Australia is irrelevent in arguments based on obfuscation and excoriation of non-supporting facts in support of a predertermined and biased conclusion.

“ Those nuclear-powered submarines are they are particularly suitable for one task – sailing up close to a faraway adversary (*cough* China), patrolling near its coast, and hunting its submarines which carry nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles. That sort of mission requires the speed and endurance quintessential to nuclear propulsion, which is why the AUKUS submarines are so expensive.

So those “Australian” submarines would threaten China’s ballistic missile submarines. And why does China have them? Same reason why America, Russia, France, and Britain have them – submerged and mobile, they are a back-up nuclear arsenal should your adversary knock out your land-based nuclear weapons first.” (Source: 11:20EST live.australiainstitute.org.au )

Why would a reader cognisant of the above failings read any further. I did, but only because if an article is criticised it ought to be read in full. Lest he be labelled a propagandist, the Frank Yuan ought to do much, much better and present all the facts before drawing conclusions and imposing his bias on the readers.

I will not respond to the author’s argument because any defence wonk can see through them as I did (and I’m not a defence expert, just an somewhat informed and concerned citizen)

I expected the #AustraliaInstitute to do a better job at editing these puff pieces out of their Live stream.

Aby--not fast, just furious

There was a military expert on the ABC this morning, talking about the AUKUS/AUKMIN stuff and the probability of the US not fulfilling the contract for the subs they've agreed to delivering.

He was talking about the fact that the US is unable to even fulfil domestic contracts at the moment, and said that us shipyards are "a complete cluster-fiasco".

.."cluster-fiasco" will now be adopted into my vocabulary.
