What are our defence strategies without AKUS?
I value Nick Dean’s detailed concerns in his article, which concludes with an assessment of the various players’ ego states.
I key phrase that sticks out for me is:
“With AUKUS, the pride of politicians has thus become an obstacle to reaching the best solution to the ‘national security’ conundrum.”
I appreciate that Mr Dean’s important field of expertise is sociology, which is the essential thrust of his argument, and that he is not a security guru. Hence, my suggestion to enable this movement forward is to commission an expert research panel to present the defence strategy we are addressing with AUKUS and alternative defence strategies without AUKUS submarines. I am mindful that AUKUS is more than submarines, so this also needs specific comments.
