JUST IN - Australia to scrap $90 billion French submarine order, will acquire new nuclear submarines using US and UK technology (ABC)

Who wants a submarine that’s programmed to run away?

 

[Telescope Steve]

This has been going around on Telegram today. It sounds like Australia just found out about this today. It this is true it sounds like a recent development, not a scheduled announcement from the Resident.

 

[Groucho]

Hey Joey 46, Why don't you just STFU and stop ruining this once good country?

 

[Groucho]

Who wants a submarine that’s programmed to run away?

Not being mean here, but are you talking about the Frog Subs or the U.S. subs. We don't have a very good track record lately.

 

[Bubble Head]

Must be getting close to show time for Taliban Joe. Juice him up and keep plenty handlers around him so he can't get lost walking of stage.

 

[Telescope Steve]

It's too early to start drinking for me. But if it is President Trump making the announcement from the White House then all bets are off.

 

[phloydius]

Not live yet, but noticed something interesting under the White House feed on Youtube: "President Biden Delivers Brief Remarks About a National Security Initiative, and will be Joined Virtually by Prime Minister Scott Morrison of Australia and Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom "

 

[phloydius]

Video is live. Will update when/if he comes on.

 

[phloydius]

He is live.

 

[phloydius]

It is the AUKUS.

All three leaders are on screen.

 

[phloydius]

Things are complex.
New partnership.
Tri-Lateral.

 

[phloydius]

Point #1: Will deliver a nuclear power fleet to Australia

 

[phloydius]

Creating a new Trilateral DEFENSE partnership!

 

[AlfaMan]

Maybe the poke has already happened...

Yesterday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, publicly referred to Taiwan as a "country" in front of congress (for the second time).

US secretary of state calls Taiwan 'country' | Taiwan News | 2021-03-12 11:22:00

'Country' label for Taiwan breaks longstanding US State Department taboo | 2021-03-12 11:22:00

Antony Blinken calls Taiwan a country

Washington ‘absolutely’ committed to supporting disputed territory, says secretary of state

www.independent.co.uk

Well, we can mark one good thing in Blinken's book. Of course it's the wrong time to do it, but yes. Yes, the ROC is a country and has been for a long time.

And Australia is acquiring nuclear subs????????????????????????

HUH?

 

[Sacajawea]

Sounds like the US & UK might be "lending" some, until they can build their own... or we build a couple for 'em.

 

[phloydius]

It sounds like Biden forgot the Australian PM's name....

 

[bw]

New partnership. Interesting. So is there any law preventing Australia from performing law enforcement actions against Americans? Just a thought.

 

[Sacajawea]

Forming an alliance usually means there's something unpleasant coming up on the agenda.

 

[phloydius]

They are making a HUGE deal about the fact that they are giving conventional armed submarines to Australia, not nuclear weapons. Over. And. Over.

Makes me think it's a cover for something else.

HUH?

A fleet of them, armed, is what its sounds like.

 

[Optimus Prime]

WTF WAS THAT?

 

[TorahTips]

Maybe I'm brain dead. What was top secret about that shit?

 

[TheSearcher]

WTF WAS THAT?

Hm?

 

[phloydius]

WTF WAS THAT?

The creation of a new military alliance, where we share knowledge, technology, manpower, and weapon systems. That is, if I caught it all. It was all so quick.

 

[ChicagoMan74]

So did the Aussies have SSN's like Seawolfs before? Or do they have a few and will now get more with the help of us and the UK?

And what is this supposed to distract us from?

 

[The Snack Artist]

WTF WAS THAT?

Just more drivel and drool. Why did they need this big stage for this announcement? They should have done this quietly. Where does Japan fit in here? What about Taiwan? The Aussies are doing their damndest to piss their citizens off about the china flu. Maybe it's a reward for killing off the better part of the populace?

 

[1-12020]

well i suppose if china is going to do anything ...now... would be the time.

 

[db cooper]

Forming an alliance usually means there's something unpleasant coming up on the agenda.

Yes, like abandoning allies democrat style. Give them nuke subs, let the chinese attack, then the chinese will get new subs. Sound familiar? It's a sure fire way to arm our enemies and look innocent at the same time.

 

[Sacajawea]

Maybe why I'm not seeing a whole lot of coverage of this elsewhere, db.

 

[Seeker22]

B. Franklin would be culture cancelled in today's informational world.

So much for Poor Richard.

Dobbin

Sadly, he got replaced by Richard Cranium.

Pretty hard to take a sub. They tend to end up on ocean floor or in a friendly port

Do recall...'they' wanted a WW III...but Trump 'stalled' their plans. Maybe now it'll come about?

Er, ah...translation please? This old Cowboy speaks 'American'...and some 'Mexican'. LOL!

 

[Hi-D]

A better question might be who told Mr. Biden to do this. The same people responsible for the Steele dossier?

 

[AlfaMan]

Yep.And within 80 months Australia builds a nuclear powered sub fleet.

Don't we have treaties in place that prevents nuclear proliferation? How does this work?

 

[bw]

Er, ah...translation please? This old Cowboy speaks 'American'...and some 'Mexican'. LOL!

Probably trying for "vielleicht", meaning Perhaps.

 

[Kris Gandillon]

Nuclear POWERED and nuclear ARMED are two entirely different things. We have nuclear powered, conventionally armed boats in our fleet.
