The Dodgy Brothers and AUKUS

July 23, 2025

Pithy and succinct is the best description of the article from Geoff. In admirably few words he summarises the geo-strategic infantilism of this dodgy-brothers deal, set up by the devious, imbecilic rodent Scott Morrison. Were this to proceed, which seems increasingly unlikely, the US seems intent on proving the accuracy of Kissinger’s aphorism that being a friend of the US can be “fatal”. To continue with a deal with a disintegrating empire that has, for more than a century, shown itself as having “no permanent friends or enemies, only interests”, as Kissinger also said, reeks of political cowardice and strategic failure of epic proportions. The positive is that our missing-in-action leaders will not need to pluck up the courage to can this deviant deal as the Donald will simply renege on it, as he has with everything else he has promised in his mindless daily twitterings. The negative may well be that we succeeded in pouring billions, that we can ill afford, into the scam before that time.
