Moon of Alabama — March 15, 2023
The the last week’s review I mentioned the AUKUS deal. It was first announced in September 2021. Back then I wrote:
Yesterday the U.S., the UK and Australia announced that the latter one will buy nuclear powered submarines to do the U.S.’ bidding against China.
…
This is a huge but short term win for the U.S. with an also-ran booby price for Britain and a strategic loss of sovereignty and budget control for Australia.
It is another U.S. slap into the face of France and the European Union. The deal will piss off New Zealand, Indonesia and of course China. It will upset the international nuclear non proliferation regime and may lead to the further military nuclearization of South Korea and Japan.
Australia currently has six conventional submarines. It had ordered new ones from France but scrapped that deal for AUKUS:
The price for the new submarines Australia will have to pay will be much higher that for the French ones. Some $3 billion have already been sunk into the French contract. France will rightfully demand additional compensation for cancelling it. The new contract with the U.S. or UK will cost more than the French one but will only include 8 instead of 12 boats. As three boats are needed to keep one at sea (while the other two are training or in refit), the actual patrolling capacity for Australia’s navy will sink from 4 to 2-3 concurrent submarines at sea.
The much higher price of the fewer more complicate boats will upset Australia’s defense budget for decades to come.
I further suggested that blackmail may have played a role in the AUKUS deal.
A few day’s after the announcement there were new details publish which suggested that Australia would lease nuclear submarines from the U.S. because the new ones will take many years to build. It would upgrade Perth harbor to be able to handle nuclear propulsion boats:

Some two years ago, if my two brain cells are working, Australia ramped up its defence budget, because alledgely the Chinese were going to invade, this being a NWO Nazi trope for over 60yrs.
So this idea that US influence/control is something new, is a joke. Australia is run by the CIAda, same for New Zealand.
By the time these subs are built, China will be the largest power, both economically and militarily. Chinese navy by tonnage is larger than the US navy, and the US navy is spread thinly around the world, never mind the fact that much of it is held in port under the guise of refurbishment, just an excuse to save money.
France can say nothing. It did the very same thing to Russia, refusing to hand over two already paid for and built helicopter ships. France can eat sh!t. The US has got them all cheating and betraying each other and dividing them amongst themselves. They can all eat sh!t. Soon they’ll all be quite irrelevant anyway.
Why worry about disposing nuclear waste carefully at the end of the subs life when you can just blow it up in enemy water.
Mad idea, right?
Forking out $400 billion on a handful of subs for no good reason except to put money into the pockets of the war racketeers is the mad idea.
Meanwhile back in reality, China owns 1/2 of Australia just like in Canada and the globalist Western banking cartel and their minions own 1/2 of Chinese assets and the communist Chinese government plus most of the other half of all other assets on the globe as well as our governments. Wars and threats of wars maintain a high level of fear and expenditures necessary to control us.
Arms manfacturing and drugs and war are the only profitable business opportunities remaining in the Yangee Golem..and its hunch backed vassals..
..so it’s no real surprise that the Australians are injected to death with a target on their back..
it’s called being a valued customer….
