What are the regional reactions to the new US-UK-Australia security pact?
MELBOURNE, Australia – China has lashed out at plans by Australia to forge a closer alliance with the United States and the United Kingdom, which includes the sharing of nuclear-powered submarine technology. But other Indo-Pacific nations are reacting more cautiously.
US-UK-Australia submarine deal is a dangerous joke which will only worsen geopolitical crisis with China — RT Op-ed
US-UK-Australia submarine deal is a dangerous joke which will only worsen geopolitical crisis with China
Follow RT on Australia struggles to keep its current six diesel-powered submarines operational; it now wants to build eight nuclear-powered submarines, despite having neither the trained manpower nor the nuclear infrastructure necessary. This is a story of geopolitically driven military procurement gone mad.

I get paid over $100 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my best friend earns over 15k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless .Here’s what I have been doing…… http://www.richnow1.com
My last pay check was $8750 just ecom working 12 hours for every week. My neighbor have found the estimation of $15k for a long time and she works around 20 hours for seven days. I can not trust how direct it was once I tried it information..

You can’t trust those sites. But you knew that, right?
Of course. Or did you think that the $3,000 missing from my bank account and the $3000 they earned within 2 minutes was mere coincidence?
Would anyone be surprised if there is to be a fat envelope destined for the enjoyment
various Australian officials for bringing a prosperous new client into the Cozy Crony Club.
Australia’s nothing but a mine shaft masquerading as a nation. You think Siberia or Canada’s underpopulated? 25 million Australians occupy 6/7th of the US’ landmass. Even then, a mid size tsunami would wipe out half the population. That’s on the coast. In the interior, it takes 5 minutes to route a call between next door neighbors.
The media is reporting that the Australian government is prepared to lease nuclear submarines from the US while its own fleet is being built. It is also reporting that the US may “rotate” fighter planes to Australia. Is this the start of the US turning Australia into a military staging base for launching an attack on China?
The Australians apparently haven’t figured out yet what happens to USrael’s poodles when their services are no longer required. Maybe the Australians should ask the Kurds, or any of the others, who were disposed of like used toilet paper once they lost their usefulness.
Yes, you’d really think the Australians would have figured out by now that USrael only has temporary friends of convenience that it uses while they are useful to it and then spits out when they are of no further benefit. The US has quite a track record of abandoning its “friends”, or those it pretends to be helping while it’s really helping itself to their resources or their strategic location. Two quite large desertions this year alone: first Ukraine, and now Afghanistan. Australians should wake up.
Totally mind boggling. Australians have been thoroughly shafted by the Brits numerous times in the past, and no doubt, going by the latest reports, IF true, are being positioned to be once again shafted well and truly by them once more. As for the Yanks, they are already counting their ill gotten gains from the stupid Australians, they too have shafted Australians on numerous occasions as well. With their coupe that destroyed our Labor Government, after the P.M. at the time, threatened to close the U.S. bases on Australian soil, being the first, then the debacle in Iraq, who were… Read more »
The Brits get to pound their chests over refound empires for a few more years and the Yanks get to hope beyond hope that their days aren’t yet numbered like a Zimbabweyen money changer.
What’s not to celebrate?
The brits are obviously the new regional power in the indo-pacific.
The royal society for geography was disbanded when exactly ?

Of course. Never underestimate the number of Dr Strangeloves parading around in the Pentagon.
Vampires more like it, sucking the lifeblood from children in combat zones the world over.
But it’s OK. Bush said America will never apologize and I believe him.
looks like Australia is becoming another slave to the US, they get rid of one parasite ( UK ) and give the country to a bigger one, bye bye Australian independence.
Becoming?? Always was. There’s a saying here and it goes like this… All the way with the US of A… And with the current clown government we are definitely finished. Bunch of bloody blatantly self serving fools. Time to become a refugee.
I’m 71 years of age, lived in Australia most of my life, served in Australia’s military in Vietnam. During all that time, I have NEVER EVER seen an autonomous Australian Government. How can Australia claim to be self governing, when the Queen of England can sack a democraticly elected Government by the people ???????? How is that Autonomous Government ??
Australia has NEVER been independent. What’s more, the powers that be, will never, ever allow such a thing to happen. Russia, China, Iran, Vietnam all have autonomous Governments that leave our crowd for dead.
Did it ever have any?

These guys have impeccable timing. Just when the chinese real estate sector implodes, taking the whole chinese economy with it ( and nixing australia’s resource exports to china), they piss everybody off to fight the threat of – china. Aussies seem to have gone completely nuts. One of the nations that probably willnot survive the current fourth turning.
By the way: did anybody understand what the senile walking corpse said at the UN ? For the life of me i tried – but he cannot even articulate his words any more. Just the kind of guy to run the U.S. we truly live in interesting times.
