Can someone point out to me why the gently caress this US/UK/AUS defense pact even a thing and why is it even necessary since there’s already NATO and Since everyone knows that Australia and the UK are the left and right Testicles of the American empire so it really goes without saying that they’re already in a military alliance.

Australia technically is not a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization you're right that there are already extant treaties/alliances/whatevers that should have done the job of covering a US-UK-AUS alliance, but I guess they wanted to twist the knife further?

I wasn't aware of the detail yesterday. But this Aukus event is 100% Biden's cover of stealing Au's 12 submarine contract from the French and they just drag Boris along to make it bigger than it is. The US also doesn't have any conventional sub tech anymore so they have to use the nuclear powered tech.

Australia's economy is like half the size of Italy. The average Chinese on the street if you asked them about this would probably respond "what is an 'Australia'?"

I believe it. Every Australian think tank I come across on youtube sound extremely lopsided, way worse than American think tanks. * not counting Kevin Rudd who hosed off to Asia Society.

Remember how just about everyone on the forums was of the consensus that north korea couldn't build a nuke, and if they could, they would never be able to fit it in a missile? lol. lmao

genericnick posted:I do wonder why that happened. I know little about the period, but wasn't that around the time the US hosed over Japan with the Plaza accords? US expended or moved the appliance industry in Japan in order to include Japan as part of her own greater ecosystem and also use their cheap labor. The US also take up so much of the Japanese export market they had huge influence on Japan. When Japan became uppity the US can easily move the industries to other sidekick countries (i.e. moving the semi conductor industries to SK and Taiwan) However once you build up the an industry in East Asia, its easy to transfer the know-how from one East Asian country to another (this is my personal theory and observation) And when China become a leading manufacturer of a particular industry, they don't rely on the US market so much and aren't beholden to them. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 15:15 on Sep 16, 2021 |

Raskolnikov38 posted:was it us or the soviets that also put ICBMs on armored trains the USSR's RT-23 Molodets (NATO: SS-24 Scalpel) was the rail-based ICBM relatedly, the RT-2PM Topol (NATO: SS-25 Sickle) was a road-mobile ICBM the US tried to develop the "Peacekeeper Rail Garrison" system for Minuteman ICBMs and it looks like it got past the testing stage but was never fully deployed

With the Afghanistan mess you'd think that countries would be a bit more skittish in getting our hardware since we can just stop providing you parts and whoops suddenly you cant maintain your white elephants anymore and they will all be out of commission since companies build poo poo to break every year.

Taiwan spends $13 billion a year on its military and announced they will spend an additional $8.7 billion over the next five years. I can't find anything about a 500% increase. https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4288910

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:mearsheimer is a weirdo because his whole approach is to explain all the ruthless stuff that the U.S. is going to do to grind your country into bonemeal, and then when called on it, says "i'm not saying that's good, i'm just saying that's what's going to happen, i'm just a structuralist!" it's very strange. he's the doctor telling you that you have cancer, except the cancer is that the US is interested in you
