The subs are just extending the US military further in to Australia, it’s the US gearing up for China - we’re just the stooge vassal state fronting it.
Don’t think for a second we have any autonomy when it comes to foreign policy. Canberra works at Washington’s behest - if they tell Albo it’s war, he and Penny will be up in front of the ABC lectern demanding Aussie sons and daughters do the patriotic thing to stop the commie scourge without blinking.
One can only hope that having such weak, spineless, inarticulate, fuckheaded leadership will make the whole thing a joke in the minds of regular people who would rather turn on the system than sacrifice their children.
