In response to Hugh White and our post-American future

AUKUS is a dud club

News is splashing around about Trump launching an inquiry into AUKUS to see if it meets his “America First” policy. Of course, it does.

We have to pay the US $368 billion (US$239 billion) over three decades for being part of the AUKUS club and, according to the contract, they don’t have to give us anything. Zip.

Of course, Trump will love this contract, all the while laughing at Australia in the back rooms of the White House for signing up to such a dud deal.
