Australian taxpayers taken for a ride by US military industrial complex.
* Australia to buy up to 5 second hand US Virginia class SSN in the 2030s.
* Then US/UK/Aust will develop a new AUKUS class SSN to be build in Australia from 2040s.
* Australia’s second hand Virginia class to be retired from 2050s when AUKUS class supposedly comes on line.
* Estimated cost
close to AUD$400 billion over 30 years. I expect this amount to be higher.
* Media in US/UK/Aust has created China hysteria and US Military Industrial complex, knowing Australia is a very rich country, cashes in on it.
* Australia has no history working with any form of nuclear and has a very small navy. Chances are US and UK Naval personnel will make up large part of Australian SSN crew.
* AUKUS attempting to be NATO of the Indo Pacific of sorts. UK has no business being in these parts, they cant even secure the Atlantic and their part of the world.
