Defence Minister Richard Marles has delivered “one of the most ominous warnings” relating to the reasons behind a heavily expensive AUKUS deal, says Sky News host Laura Jayes.

“It answered the why – why we are spending so much on these nuclear-powered submarines?” Ms Jayes said.

Defence Minister Richard Marles has stated in a media conference on Tuesday, “the biggest conventional military build-up … seen since the end of the second world war” is happening in our region. “That is all about China – not mentioned by word, but ‘the biggest conventional military build-up’ – well it cannot be about anyone else,” she said.

AUKUS is the most significant defence partnership in generations: Rishi SunakUK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says it’s more important than ever to “strengthen the resilience of our own countries”. “Our highest priority is to continue providing military aid to Ukraine because their security is our security,” Mr Sunak said. “We will go further to strengthen our resilience. “For the first time, the United Kingdom will move away from our baseline commitment to spend two per cent of GDP on defence to a new ambition of 2.5 per cent, putting beyond doubt that the United Kingdom is, and will remain, one of the world's leading defence powers.” He said the AUKUS pact is the most “significant multi-lateral defence partnership in generations”.

AUKUS represents a ‘failure’ of Chinese Foreign and Defence PolicyFormer Defence Minister Christopher Pyne says the US, UK and Australian relationship (AUKUS) has been a “transformational change” in the security of the Indo-Pacific. “In some ways (it) represents a failure of Chinese Foreign and Defence Policy,” Mr Pyne told Sky News Australia. “If the Chinese government in Beijing had thought that by being more assertive in challenging the US, the West would shrink away from the Indo-Pacific. “They’ve had precisely the opposite impact.” Christopher who? Agree 100% no more allowing the Chinese to take pot shots verbally, resistance is growing silently to attempted domination of our economy and spying and stealing our data via 5g cameras to , this is what they are doing pretending to be friends they ARE not at ALL The same Chryssy Pyne who works for arms manufacturers?

AUKUS deal is a ‘step’ we need to take: Richard MarlesDefence Minister Richard Marles says the preference is to “operate as fewer classes as possible” after he was asked about operating three different submarines under the AUKUS deal. “This is the step that we have needed to take in order to close the capability gap,” Mr Marles said. Mr Marles said transitioning in and out of submarine classes will “ultimately be decisions for future governments.” If you ask him what submarine does? He will struggle to answer. More of a step in the wrong direction and that investment should be in housing & green industry.

AUKUS subs will be nuclear powered not ‘nuclear armed’US President Joe Biden has reassured that the AUKUS submarines will be nuclear powered, not armed, acknowledging that Australia is a “proud non-nuclear weapons state” and is committed to staying that way. President Biden stood alongside Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in San Diego, California, to outline details of the AUKUS subs deal. “These boats will not have any nuclear weapons of any kind on them,” President Biden said. “AUKUS has one overriding objective – to enhance the stability of the Indo-Pacific amid rapidly shifting global dynamics.” One step at a time, like the voice. Australia is in deep shit..Cannot defend itself, weapon wise or 'man' power..Imagine the weak pathetic LGTBQ+++++++ going to war? KEEP THE GREENIES HAPPY IF THAT WAS EVER POSSIBLE .
