Yup, the US was a much more reliable partner in the past but then usians supported/allowed the mango Mussolini win a second term.
Comment on Conceived in secrecy and born in haste, Aukus (submarine deal) is on its last legs.

Is it just sunk cost fallacy at this point or do they know something we don’t? There have been red flags for so long now that it will be a major embarrassment if AUKUS genuinely dies and we have no Plan B. “B-b-but the Coalition started it!!!” won’t cut it as an excuse for a second-term Labor government.

Even prior to that Pillar 1 seemed like a horrific deal for Australia. The serious question marks over whether the submarines would ever actually be delivered, let alone on time, existed all through the Biden administration too.

I’ve often wondered if there is more to it that is classified or whatever. Albo was not a fan of it, then got a briefing and very quickly signed onto it without any public or even party debate. That stood out to me at the time, and has everytime it comes up since.
