AUKUS and the subs are in zero danger IMO and speaking to a few USMC lads recently they think likewise.Booney wrote:Ironically the man who led an attack on democracy is the beneficiary of it 4 years later.
Been reading up on the AUKUS deal, it seems as though multiple US agencies are entrenched in the deal ( Pentagon, State Department, Congress ) so Trump withdrawing from it will be difficult but his landslide on all fronts means he may just have the power to do it. Then again we're getting stitched up on the deal and even though he's an awful business man he'll see the $3bn we're in for and take it I think. Either way this win could have long lasting impacts on the South Australian economy, something that interests and impacts all of us.
Trump first and foremost is a wheeler and dealer, he will tell Albo we are going to go ahead with the deal but wi need to offer up something. Albo wi cough up whatever, both sides wi shake hands and feel like they have won and it wi be all sweet.
Australia is logistically very important for the US and troop numbers based here wi most likely triple in the coming years. Don’t forget the new tanks have already started arriving and too much money tied up for us to walk away either.
