Nice work by Boris Johnson - screwing the relationship with France so that he can help Australia serve the USA by fighting China.
Meanwhile the British media is at pains to point out that the submarines will be nuclear-powered, not nuclear-armed. I haven't seen one mainstream news site point out yet that giving nuclear weapons to a non-nuclear power is a breach of the "international rules-based order", specifically of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty - but maybe the word "proliferation" has gone on on the index now?
And Tory idiots are saying hey Macron, here's "Global Britain" in your face. Talk about Ruritania and fighting a past war.
They're also saying that Australia was really brave to join the losing side in Vietnam. And they're saying this about five minutes after the British withdrew from Afghanistan, finally admitting there was no chance of them saving Afghanistan from the Afghans.
Nice money for defence contractors, though - and as Keynes said, in the long run everyone's dead.
The only good side to this is that it might mean the end of NATO, which would hardly be untimely given that that alliance has just suffered the biggest military humiliation in its entire ignoble history.
But anything "Australian", cough cough, goes down a treat in the Daily Mail.
Hello PutinBot123, welcome to the community. At least you're not pushing antivaxx memes.
Calling me a Putin bot is one of the silliest things I've ever seen here. It's not exactly difficult to suss who the long-term fake personas are on boards of this type.
One or two even use the age-old technique that also works well if you want to go and do something in a shop and not be remembered clearly. Wear an unusual hat that everyone remembers.
But never mind that. On the matter in hand: AUKUS 2021 has made Putin happier than he has been since a) the US declared war on Afghanistan in 2001, and b) Brexit won the referendum in 2016.
Do I have to spell it out? Oh all right. Here goes...
1) Does Russia want good or bad relations between China and the US?
2) Does Russia want good or bad relations between Britain and the EU?
And yet, Philip the Tory bot says I'm the one who should get back to Russia because I'm aware of these excruciatingly obvious points.
Let's not forget that a short while ago it was common knowledge that Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was considered a huge security risk:
