TODAY’S EDITORIAL: Indo-Pacific nations are sitting on a powder keg

Under the long-term strategy, the US will build the subs, the UK will provide the reactors, and Australia will furnish the crews.The SSN Aukus, as the sub's prototype will be christened, can carry out long-range strikes against the enemy.The perceived foe, of course, is China, which British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said 'represents a challenge to the world order,' as it steps up its quest to become the dominant economic and military force in Asia.

Kennedy had ordered a naval 'quarantine' of Cuba to prevent Soviet ships from bringing in materials for missile bases being built on the island-nation. During the crisis' high point, US forces were placed on Defcon 2, one level below the highest alert. Only 11th-hour negotiations between Washington and Moscow prevented a global catastrophe.Nobody wants a similar scenario in the Indo-Pacific, most of all the dozens of countries in the region.
