  1.  @regophil  China started the Indo-Pacific arms race.

  2.  @mijicmugendo  No, wrong again. Its about countering a near-term threat. Security through alliances. Smart move by the AUKUS nations to counter CCP moves in the Indo-Pacific.

  3.  @mijicmugendo  No they won't. In the short -term, it's far more likely Aussie sailors will be on UK/US subs to learn how to work these boats.

  4.  @Cheese_Boi1986  The objective of the Afghanistan invasion (the Western powers called it a 'campaign') was to defeat the Taliban and destroy Al Quada. Both objectives have failed. While I have the highest regards for US service personnel, their bravery and tenacity in a very difficult operational environment, they were let down by their own politicians. The operational objective was flawed from the outset. The flawed basis for the invasion was the now discredited argument that the Taliban had harboured Al Qaeda who were solely responsible for 9/11, the largest single act of terrorism in human history. Supposedly, 9/11 was all planned and executed by Al Qaeda from within a cave complex in the Tora Bora Mountains - really? The Western intelligence community knew that was a lie at the time. However, as Afghanistan has about a trillion dollars worth of untapped mineral deposits, the US business sector pulled in their friendly politicians who decided to invade on the sketchy pretext of eliminating terrorism.

  6.  @shamanbhattacharyya9285  Well, lets be honest, the Pakistani Army does not amount to much, does it? Its a bit like the Israeli's going on about how good they are when they're up against the Arabs.

  8. The EU can't have sovereignty as it's not a nation state, just a political association of nations. Each individual nation has its own sovereignty.

  9. Hence Brexit. More EU member states will end up leaving this joke of an organisation.

  12.  @mijicmugendo  Yes, its my opinion, I just don't see letting China dictate the economic terms to Australia and linking that to its defence policy as being acceptable to any sovereign government.
