So we 'stole' the Aussie sub deal from the French.
My perception is we are offering to share 50+yrs of nuclear propulsion secrets with them, technology/capabilities hereto only shared with the Brits. The end result will be a weapon platform with significantly enhanced lethality and survivability over the French offerings, thereby increasing the deterrence value. The probability of peace in the Pacific has increased as a result.
Is this a correct read?
I continue to think we need to sell 2000 Stingers and 1000 Naval Strike Missiles to ROC, delivery date tomorrow, but I am happy with this sub deal as first step.
Sound off Hide....
