Yeah I just don't think AUKUS is going to be rolled back the way the world is these days. To be honest I couldn't care less if it was or it wasn't but I can say this, there are a hell of a lot of contracts that would need to be paid out if it was.
That's great mate, I'll let my boss know his plans for the next 20 years are all fucked because someone called Mike on the internet told me.
Consider both? Because I'm not arguing about the ethics, it's not my point. The money is being spent here on infrastructure and of course the cost of building them. The money being given to the US is for the 3-5 Virginia class subs. That's part of the agreement but really nothing to do with AUKUS
Hang on, you want to talk about the cost breakdown of AUKUS or discuss the ethics of it in relation to institutional funding. I'm just saying most of the 400 billion AUKUS cash stays here as part of AUKUS.
And just to add to that the US is also pumping a lot of military cash back into Australia.
Yes some of the money is going to the US but most of it is staying here, other than that I kind of agree with you.
LOL ok.
That's what people said about about the F35. You won't stop the military from doing what the military does. Too many people making money off of it. AUKUS was planned years before it was publicly accounced.
AUKUS subs will be built right here in SA, the upgrade on the shipyard is well underway.
You can think all you want nobody is dumping AUKUS it's already years in the making.
It's like any other walk of life, you make connections through the life you live and you move on as you grow older. People just want to complain because their lives are pathetic.
And aside from that, you believe the Chinese government?
This argument is so stupid. What makes you think the people building these sub won't come up with tech that will render the Chinese tech redundant. Just desperation from those wanting something that won't be stopped stopped.
The rain here is crazy. I think we are in for a wild week.
It's been a year to the day (tomorrow) I have been back. I think I'm slowly losing my mind but that's ok. Don't pay much attention to the outside world anymore which is great for my mental health. All systems go with the projects here, going to become busy. I'm well. The Bosun is opening😃
Google Tesla gear box repair. Just to make it clear I’m not anti ev I just want people to understand they are the same shit different day.
This is just a basic diagram to show you what I'm talking about. Multiple radiator, multiple water pumps and they use two different types of coolant. One for the battery system and a normal type for HAVAC.
You know if the auto industry actually gave a crap they would make cars that last and not sell parts packaged inside multiple box's.
Tyres brakes suspension drive shafts evac, it's all the same. You are being sold something that isn't real. The main thing is they do not produce tail pipe emissions. And believe me I am not anti EV, but as a mechanic I have to call it out.
They are all a bit different however, most have a gearbox and differential with oil. They all have complex cooling systems with radiators and multiple water pumps. There is very little difference between an EV and an ICE which I was very surprised about when I did some courses.
Human idiocy.
What an absolutely fking stupid thing to say or think. I am no fan of the US but that has to be one of the dumbest posts I have read for weeks.
@sallylawry.bsky.social Hey mate how you going. Haven't caught up in a while. Not sure if you have seen the few photos I have posted. The rain here is still unbelievable, like nothing I have ever seen. Hope you are well.
#auspol Catching up on afternoon briefing and this Andrew Bragg? Blaming the country’s debt, fuel shortages ect all on Labor and this small brained fkwit PK hasn’t got the intelligence or integrity to call him out. This is really shit TV. I would say shit journalism but PK is no journalist.
Yes very fatalistic. I’m at peace with that these days. As Bob Dylan sung I used to care but things have changed.
Exactly why nobody is walking away from AUKUS. It has been is place years before it was publicly announced.

Yeah I’m just enjoying the solitude and beach these days. Would be a shame to see my little island blown up.
