  1. It's the treaty cascade issue. For example 1. China attacks Taiwan. 2. US ships military equipment to Taiwan. 3. China attacks US military shipments to Taiwan. 4. The US invokes a mutual defense agreement with Japan. US counter attacks China due to China's attack on US military shipments. The US enforced freedom of navigation via arms i.e. US entry into WW1 trigger. 5. Australia ships material support to Japan for US/JP war effort. 6. China attacks Australia's material shipments. Australia initiates its own freedom of navigation via arms. NATO Article V can be invoked since China attacked US military shipments or attack on US territory of Guam i.e. another Hawaii trigger point like US entry into WW2. Trump has a solution, the US to allow countries like Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan to be armed with their own nuclear weapons and reduce US defense treaty obligation. Reduced US defense treaty obligation results in Australia's reduced involvement in East Asia.

  2. Regardless of Taiwan's problems, Australia still needs a submarine design with 34,000 km in deep submerge mode with 15 to 20 kn speed and zero CO2.
