That is exactly what the US needs. Another Cuba without involving another country but using submarines off the US coastline. The American people need to know what a nuclear weapon can do in say New York City. Don't fire a shot, just sit there. Just a threatening little token compared to the weaponry, hundreds of bases, troops and subservient other countries that are currently surrounding China at this very moment, as seen on Caitlin's map.

Submarines must be a wonderful tool in today's military climate because the little US puppet, Australia, is spending probably 400 billion dollars (that's Australian dollars of course) designed to add to the serious profits of Biden's military buddies and to make us a continuing part of the US empire game as we were with Korea, Vietnam, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and who knows where else since WWII. (A British empire team member before that). Not one of those countries had threatened Australia.

Good old Australia. You can always rely on them to join any US party, any time. Just yell.

Rumours are that they have applied to be the 51st State of the USA. Just a rumour.

Mind you, by the time the crews for such weaponised submarines are ready to hit the water and join in the US empire games, the current crews in training will be applying for their military pensions, 20 + years from now. But it's all good fun.

On the other hand, the move to BRICS by a lot of countries, (down with the US dollar as the international currency) the need for the US to discontinue its offshore manufacturing and ramp up expensive onshore product making (check out the value of the Chinese Yuan compared to the US dollar.....for wages), we could be in another environment, entirely. Let us hope so. The flow on effects from that scenario will impact every single person in those United States, with the exception of Biden's buddies like BlackRock and the like and the US dictators, Israel.

Interesting days ahead. Pity though for little 25 million population countries like Australia who will not be able to address housing, social security, education, and infrastructure projects because of an almost $20,000 debt for every man woman and child, for some useless US money-making submarines, clearly visible from space and an easy target for a missile.

It's called AUKUS, the death knell for Australia.

If, as Feral has said, that the only language power understands is a "gun to the head", then let us start an international crowd-funding project to buy two submarines and place them off the East Coast of the USA.
