USA agreed with Australia to build new military bases on its territory

New US military bases will appear in Australia, the corresponding decision was made following negotiations between the heads of the military departments and the foreign ministries of the two countries.

In Washington, talks were held between the head of the US Department of State Anthony Blinken, the chief of the Pentagon Lloyd Austin and their Australian colleagues Maris Payne and Peter Dutton. The topic of discussion was military-technical cooperation and "illegal activities" of China.

As a result of the negotiations, an agreement was reached on the construction of new naval and aviation US bases. The number is not named, it is noted that all of them will be located in the south of the country. Australian Defense Secretary Peter Dutton said the number of US troops on Australian soil would "significantly increase."

In addition, the United States is redeveloping two Australian Air Force bases on the east coast. Naturally, they will be prepared to receive American aircraft.

As the talks continued, the parties expressed deep concern over China's "illegal claims" to the disputed territories in the South China Sea.

We will remind that earlier the USA, Great Britain and Australia announced the creation of a new partnership AUKUS in the field of defense and security. The first decision of the new union was Australia's refusal to purchase French-made nuclear submarines for 66 billion dollars. Paris has already called this decision "a stab in the back."

From the American point of view, this is a smart move.
The European NATO allies were poked into a puddle, pokaschil their place.
Do you want the European army? Forward and with flags.
To the world hegemon, and without you, there is a queue for an appointment.
And in the European theater, the link between the United States and the Eastern European neophytes of the EU is already a considerable threat to Russia.

Lesson for the French. This is karma. First, you throw, as in the situation with the Mistrals, then they throw you.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced the denunciation of the agreement with France on the construction of nuclear submarines, calling it unprofitable. The deal was valued at $ 66 billion. At the same time, Canberra has already agreed on the joint construction of at least eight nuclear submarines with the United States and Great Britain. The French Foreign Ministry called this decision a "stab in the back":

“This is really a stab in the back. We have built a relationship of trust with Australia, and that trust has been undermined. I am angry, the allies do not act like that, ”said Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.

The United States, Britain and Australia have entered into a security partnership agreement. The new alliance, which has a clearly anti-Chinese orientation, was named AUUKUS (AU - Australia, UK - United Kingdom, US - United States). Within the framework of trilateral agreements, the countries will exchange military technologies, including promising ones.

Thus, Australia, with the help of Great Britain and the United States, will be able to develop and build its first nuclear submarines. At the same time, Canberra will continue to comply with the international Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

As the first AUUKUS initiative, we intend to support Australia in obtaining nuclear powered submarines. The development of Australian nuclear powered submarines will be a joint endeavor of the three countries with an emphasis on interoperability, commonality and mutual benefit

- noted in a joint statement of the three countries on the occasion of the formation of a new union.

It is noteworthy that back in 2016, during the Australian tender for the construction of 12 submarines, the French shipbuilding corporation DCNS won a landslide victory over Germany and Japan. According to a contract signed later between Paris and Canberra, the cost of which ranged from 66 to 90 billion dollars, the French were to supply the Australians with 12 new submarines of an unnamed project. Now all agreements between the two countries are considered invalid.

Who should the European Union be afraid of in Europe? A mythical threat to Russia? Well, they will behave themselves, no one will offend them. Unless the Turks will take advantage)

Europe needs to fear the United States, not Russia. It's like Ukraine, betrays, sells and does not blink an eye.

Yes, yes, "friendship, friendship, and the tobacco is obviously INCREASE" !!!

[Shket53]

Yes, you are right "tobacco" is clearly apart. They are also modernizing two airbases, and 12 MAPLs have been sold (I wonder for whose "tobacco"), and they will build their own bases. We must pay tribute to the Yankes, they know how to pull off a little business ... and put a bandwagon on friends (French).

You can speculate on this topic, but ... nothing, after all, it will not change. Ours did not have cynical pragmatism and complete immorality in actions. However, it's better this way, we stand on that, we CANNOT be different like that!
Oh, yes, it is necessary to look after our own state interests more carefully, it is necessary ...

[Shket53]

To speculate ... You say .... Eh, maybe it's better, really ... cynical pragmatism ... That's how many billions of greenbacks were written off to every Angola, Vietnam, and every Afghans. etc. According to some reports, more than 500 billion ... And maybe if these "kopecks" were in the USSR ... then the union would not have collapsed

Maybe / cannot ... and what will change if we continue to spit in the direction of the state, which no longer exists, and there is no way to see a return to that state anywhere.
I will not say that nothing of the kind is repeated, but EVERYONE has similar costs, who does at least do something, and does not crumple in himself.
This, of course, does not inspire, but in another way, alas, no one succeeds.
The only thing I want to see is that such costs / losses would not be in vain, not every time.

[den3080]

I think this is an asymmetric response to hypersonic weapons. We need to build as many military bases around the world as possible, maybe there won't be enough missiles for everything

In general, this is very logical. The Anglo-Saxon world must unite - USA, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand. And it will be the largest association in the world in terms of land, sea and economy.

Only Russia and China can compete.

For example, France and Germany are quite capable of being called a "pot-bellied little thing." And the last action of the Anglo-Saxons with the withdrawal of the contract for the construction of submarines is proof of this. Even these two (France and Germany) will not be able to come to an agreement, this is understandable.
And the rest of the "world community" - the Czech Republic / Romania / Egypt / Sudan / Vietnam / Argentina ... no one will pay attention to them, except to a heap.
India will be seriously pulled into the Anglo-Saxon community and the Hindirusi phai-phai, the Hindus have a very serious potential - the population, and the economy (IT and pharma, and so on).

This is how you need to learn how to promote your weapons to the market. If it were not for China, the Americans would create a different threat. Even partnerships do not interfere with throwing each other.

This is clearly against China and it is called "pulling the tiger by the mustache." They are pushing China towards a closer alliance with Russia.

Well, Australia is not the only country in the region where the US is hosting something or creating anti-Chinese alliances.

The powerful US fleet defending "freedom of navigation" has a second side. They can cut off the supply to someone.
It would be more correct to call it control over sea communications.

China has now achieved overwhelming dominance in the South China Sea, but the world's oceans are large.

With submarines it is also interesting, for the French this is the loss of a very large contract. But submarines, instead of "conventional" ones, end up with a different class, with a nuclear power plant, i. E. range of application and travel time are much wider. The displacement (the number and height of the launching shafts) may increase, respectively, more serious weapons.

A serious problem for China that it will have to fend off.

If you look closely at the map, Australia is very well located as an aircraft carrier that controls Asia. Together with Guam and Japan, mattresses gain the ability to control the Asia-Pacific region, whose arms market is growing rapidly.

The Anglo-Saxons long ago figured out everything, both the threats and the methods of their solution, for this they placed their bases and allied countries all over the world .. Australia is excellent for this whole continent with a minimal population, and exclusively Anglo-Saxon (even refugees were turned up there) is rich in minerals absolutely sides of the sea, warm, NZ is near ..

Okinawa ... as part of the creation of the US ILC literal forces, part of the ILC forces will be transferred to Australia, and some will be left in Japan ...
The basis of the US / UK military presence in Australia will be the air forces of these countries and the BHVT ..., Australia will be the strategic rear for the Anglo-Saxons in the APR ...

Maria Zakharova reminded France of the thwarted contract for the supply of Mistral-class helicopter carriers to Russia. The diplomat wondered where France's anger and bitterness came from.

"Where does the anger and bitterness come from? Breaking contracts for France seems to be a common thing. In 2015, Paris canceled a deal with Russia on two Mistral aircraft carriers. Or is it just the knives that you feel in your back that are bad?"

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian called Australia's decision to terminate the contract for the construction of submarines "a stab in the back" and demanded an explanation from Washington, which essentially intercepted the deal from Paris.

About twenty years ago, in New Zealand, began the construction of underground super-protected bunkers for the super-rich citizens of our planet.
But it is necessary to protect this territory from the possibility of penetration of foreign troops.
So what do we see?
All true.

Everything is natural and expected. At this celebration of life, our place is in the auditorium. China was striding so wide that its pants cracked. Instead of developing the joint use of disputed territories with Vietnam, the Philippines, etc. on trifles, including Indonesia, he grabbed everything for himself, ensuring the safe passage of his container ships and tankers, for 2000 km, on a 15000 km long route. Hence the question: To what extent is the hegemony of the Chinese supermen better than the Naglosak ones? China itself mows, although I am on its side, but it should be said that they are still the same govnuki.

The topic of discussion was military-technical cooperation and "illegal activities" of China.

Interestingly, the Australians, if necessary, will bravely join the war with China, or will they still manage solely with the moral support of the United States and the provision of their territory? After the announcement of the creation of AUKUS, there was no doubt that the Americans would begin to build bases on Australian territory. From the creation of a new partnership, the French were the first to go nuts, having lost a contract for tens of billions. Now let's look at the reaction of China, against which the Americans have muddied all this.

Australia participated in all wars, even:
“The Vietnam War was Australia's longest. And although it initially secured the support of other countries, the military presence grew as the risk of the war escalated. More than 60 Australians took part in the Vietnam War, more than 000 were killed and more than 520 were injured. The withdrawal of Australian soldiers began actively in November 2300. The last Australian forces were withdrawn in 1970. "
Even in Somalia they checked in at 92.
In general, they love to fight. This cannot be taken away ...

The fact that the French are crazy is for sure. 12 "diesel" submarines for $ 70 billion is the height of arrogance. While Virginia is worth $ 2,5 billion to the United States, they wanted to sell a non-nuclear Barracuda for $ 5,5 billion.
