@TasDave

The Seppos have just shafted the Swiss on missile delivery, and when they cancelled the deal. Seppos STOLE money from the already paid for F35s(Undelivered of course)

The Previously United States is turning into a regular crypto scammer, taking the money and not delivering the goods.

We are never going to see the Subs.
We already paid 3.5billion to upgrade a US naval base in the US.

#Australia alliance with #china looks more appealing every day.

@n_dimension @TasDave Agree with everything you said except for your last line. Trading one bad actor for another is not the answer. We should be aligning ourselves with our regional neighbours (Pacific, Japan, Korea, Phillipines, etc) and Europe IMO

@TasDave and it won't see them even if it stays ( but at least we won't pay the rest of the bill)

@TasDave Having no "Plan B" sounds like a plan to fail. Very surprised if this is actually defence's position (hopefully there actually is a plan b they're just not saying it out loud).
