Australia to acquire nuclear submarine fleet as part of historic deal with US & UK to counter Chin

No, we were gonna build their Subs in Adelaide, South Australia. Come on....keep to the facts not the silly stuff.

 

Few of which are examples of an "armed populace" defeating a regular military.

 

This sub deal has made the French very unhappy. They evidently had a deal to supply the Aussies with subs for $40 billion, which the Aussies now backed out of. They are unhappy with the Aussies the USA and the U.K.

 

Your the one that said it was Trump pissing off allies, I just showed you Biden isn't making allies rosey. Biden isn't doing anything that Trump didn't do period.

 

I would say they all are. How about the American Revolution?

 

Not even close. The "armed populace" in the U.S. actually "won" only a couple of battles. Most battles won by the American side were won by professional troops trained largely by Baron Von Steuben.

 

I hope we do a hell of a lot better building the Aussie subs than we did building the colossal waste of taxpayer money crap can aircraft carrier Gerald Ford. Our military equipment procurement contractors are next to useless.

 

There is nothing unusual wrong with the Ford. It has the teething problems that all new hardware has.

 

The Five Eyes agreement is coming back to haunt us.

Australian leftists make Chicom enforcers look sane.

 

indeed. Of Course the Aussies will now be beholding to the USG.

 

U.S. military hardware is almost invariably better than that of the French. French hardware is normally cheaper.

 

Yeah they've gone full 1984 down there.

 

So France has expelled its US and Aussie ambassadors.

The frogs are pissed.

 

That might be the case. But breaking a contract in this way is still bad form.

 

The French navy did more to win the war of independence than militiamen.

 

I know that.

 

They will be speaking mandarin soon enough.

 

Sure the frogs are pissed, but they have not expelled any US or Aussie Embassador. They have recalled their Embassador from Australia and the US. They will return soon enough after a few croissants back home.

 

ROFL of we didn't win the Revolutionary War after all. It was the armed populace which formed that Continental Army and the malitia's. The Continental Army was made up of volunteers from the armed populace who enlisted for a period of a year.

"During the American Revolution, the militia provided the bulk of the American forces as well as a pool for recruiting or drafting of regulars. The militia played a similar role in the War of 1812 and the American Civil War. ... Many of these volunteers were veterans of the Civil War, and many were from the middle classes."
https://www.britannica.com/topic/mi... volunteers were,were from the middle classes.

 

Bidens inept foreign policy again on display.

 

Why he was the one standing up to the Chinese we never went anywhere. Yea take on more of the burden of your protection so my country which you seem to enjoy disparaging won't have to as we have had to do historically.

 

Oh you try to tell us how we have it all wrong point fingers routinely injecting yourself into our affairs. So please take on more of that burden so we don't have to anymore.

 

I'm sure you do.
It was my attempt to support you in correcting those who think an armed populace won the war.

 

1. No-one asked 'you' to Police the Planet. 'You' gave yourself that role, as 'you' feared someone else would knock 'you' off 'your' perch. Why are 'you' in the M.E.? We are because 'you' asked us to hold 'your' hand there.

2. While 'you' inject yourself into our affairs and the affairs of other places on the Planet, 'you' lose all rights to complain when a Little Old Aussie gives 'you' a few kidney taps.
