Aukus defence pact is an awkward wake-up call for Europe

How do you even pronounce Aukus? Something along the lines of "awkward" came the wry suggestion from one Brussels diplomat this week.

Firstly, because not only were they not in the room for discussions, they barely seemed to know the room existed. However, he suggests the European Union is pretty clear in terms of what it does not want, which goes to a third issue.

AUKUS - US-UK trade deal - no more GFA - Happy BREXIT , Happy BoJo, Happy Tory

Just been watching a British film The Yangtse Incident. Just sayin'.

It's a stupid and irresponsible hostage to furtune for the UK.

Why can’t learn to distinguish between the EU and Europe. The standard of your reporting is dire. It’s like a room full of bbclaurak

This was a terrible idea from the start... And yet another British prime minister goes along with what the US says out of sheer obedience... The only place you can go once you have these things in the water is escalation - who does that help?

However Europe issue : facist Nazi travel papers calling them passports ! the government hide this from you BorisJohnson Nigel_Farage DominicRaab GBNEWS

Shame

I thought doing a runner from some 3rd world guys on scooters in Afghanistan would be more of a wake up call for the warmongers, but hey..🤷‍♂️

Martin Rowson on the Aukus military pact — cartoonThe US, UK and Australia are setting up a trilateral security partnership aimed at confronting China, which will include helping Australia to build nuclear-powered submarines This cartoonists art is repulsive. Everything I've ever seen by him is extremely ugly. Not only for the actual way he draws/paints, but also for where the inspiration for this art is coming from. Ive never seen him try to inspire hope, only throw shit all over everything. Meanwhile... Due to the classified nature of the work performed at Pine Gap, it is necessarily the case that relatively few people are briefed on its functions & very few are briefed on the most sensitive activities that are undertaken there. MartinRowson is always spot on
