absurd given how much the australians are paying
- the joys of being a vassal of the empire
- i guess they werent allowed to take the french deal. just like they're not allowed to own the subs.
  very sovereign country btw.
There will always be a leash for the running dogs of the American empire
Australia is a US colony with kangaroos
Sure we might be a total irrelevance globally, but at least we get to be a microcosm for the subsumption of the British Empire into the American one
"Computer, abort the launch sequence!"
Sorry mack, afraid I can't do that
- Joe9000 strikes again
bit idea: name the submarines after Gough Whitlam and Harold Holt
- I feel like America would just think "Aww, that's sweet - they named their submarines after former Prime Ministers" if they had any awareness of Australia (they don't).
  I vote for naming them after Benedict Arnold and Julius & Ethel Rosenberg or something. I'd want it to make the designations sting every time an American has to say their names.
That's fine, the US hasn't guaranteed Australia complete control of Australian politics for the past half a century anyway.
