It is hard to restrain a contemptuous laugh when continually confronted by the comic opera style of US “modern Major Generals” like Admiral Caudle. That one South Korean Nuclear sub could make any conceivable difference to the inability of the US to frustrate the growth of China is nonsensical.

The same applies to the Australian nuclear submarines that may, if ever, get delivered in a decade or two’s time. With the complete farce that is the current US and UK naval shipbuilding industries and the rapid expansion of the wholly defensive and vast Chinese fleet, the chances are derisorily non-existent. But that won’t stop the US military-Industrial complex from promoting them to generate more profits for fears deliberately generated.

The reality is that the Chinese have developed an underwater defensive shield around the coast of China that is impenetrable and are working with the Russians to either purchase or duplicate the new unmanned nuclear driven and armed Russian Poseidon class underwater drone which Western Submarines have no reliably working defence against.

But given that the West is totally the captive of a private for a profit military-industrial complex that has no interest in winning wars, just in creating them!
