    Australia is buying its way out of a massive deal for French-designed diesel submarines in order to buy its way into a US-UK deal for nuclear subs, despite the fact that for decades it’s been well-established that our primary concern is our local area. We don’t need or want the power projection capabilities that require nuclear subs like America has.

      Right, but a well thought out take like that here is like going to r/NoSleep and commenting how someone’s scary story couldn’t have actually happened because skinwalkers aren’t real.

      An NCD take would be of course Australia wants to project power like America, you can never have too much defense budget and anything else is a waste of money
