12 french subs would have costed ~ 150 billion USD in acquisition and maintenance over ~ 20ish years. That is a lot of money.

UK fucked Canada once with refurbished submarines that never left port.

American subs cost the bank, these retards can’t even make affordable frigates and after wasting energy, money any time on stupid aluminum hulls are buying frigates from Italy.

Everyone is out there to fuck you. But navies are costly long term investments. There are no easy answers. Fearing China, I hope Australia knows what it is getting into.

They don’t want to take in refugees. That is the gist of it. Better pay aid than to collapse the house of cards that was the Afghanistan economy and cause massive refugee crisis.

is it because that some of their spies can go in as aid workers?
earlier when aid was given to countries, huge punishing demands were made, such as devaluation of the indian rupee in the indira gandhi era.
why can’t the west wait?

Old article of how Aus had to toe the line. The same for Canada too, they cannot take a truly independent position .

On 11 November – the day Whitlam was to inform parliament about the secret CIA presence in Australia – he was summoned by Kerr. Invoking archaic vice-regal “reserve powers”, Kerr sacked the democratically elected prime minister. The “Whitlam problem” was solved, and Australian politics never recovered, nor the nation its true independence.

Australians had served every British imperial adventure since the Boxer rebellion was crushed in China. In the 1960s, Australia pleaded to join the US in its invasion of Vietnam, then provided “black teams” to be run by the CIA.

I think all these topics are also adequately covered in Urdu which is why English news channels have not yet supplanted the Urdu ones.. Urdu has more relatable drama that makes political shows very interesting to watch that English lacks. This is why Urdu news channels with political shows get the highest prime time coverage, more than TV soaps.

Print media is slightly different though.. as people educated in English media would still prefer to read English even if they wanna watch political shows in Urdu.
