The provision of American Virginia-class subs depends on US industrial development, military needs, politics – and possibly Trump. Australia has no agency or leverage over any of these

    That was known on day 1

    Whatever made us throw France under the bus must have been pretty fucking good and also had nothing to do with Subs.

      US interference in the form of diplomatic extortion is my bet.

        As soon as I read “diesel,” I guessed that.

      Mostly the conservatives being unable to think beyond Bush-era “cheese-eating surrender monkeys” stereotypes, I’d bet

      A variety of reasons including, rather ironically, concerns about delays: https://www.politico.eu/article/why-australia-wanted-out-of-its-french-sub-deal/

        Even more ironic is a bunch of the delays were caused by Australia demanding the French change the designs from nuclear to diesel

      On an unrelated matter. France needs to be thrown under the bus from time to time. They need the constant pressure of revolution to function properly.

    Yay, also means through AUKUS that we are America’s little bitch. Lets hope Taiwan stays just friends with China.

    Otherwise whoops, I guess all those military bases in Australia that the Americans use will become priority targets. Next minute I’m forced to hunt CCP tunnels in Taiwan wondering if I’m gonna be Vietconged
