It certainly feels like the good ol' days of propping up juntas and dictators because they were anti-communist and we'll just overlook how they treat their own people.
Except, I'm not even convinced Australia would be willing to side with us in a conflict with China.

They're certainly both on the same page when it comes to building gulags/camps. Doesn't the CCP already have massive control over Australia? I thought they were pretty blatant about it, but I might be getting Australia mixed up with Canada.
We also won’t get them for like, a decade at this point, if they build them new…
By which time the tech will have been superseded, and… Well, uh, you can guess what else MIGHT have happened by then…
So it’s pretty much entirely pointless, really! 🤦🏻♂️
We should be calling this out for what it is and not giving them nuclear submarines…

Yeah, you’re right, it’s Aus…
Also Canada, particularly BC/West Coast…
Also NZ, perhaps equally if not more (blatantly) so!!
Propping up authoritarian dictators in too-hot lands that have no value to them is a long-established American passtime! Don't mess with tradition!
They're only nuclear powered, no nuclear weapons. We have a common interest in holding back China.
So how do nuclear powered but not nuclear armed submarines help them do that?

Longer range, harder to detect, the usual submarine stuff.
I heard a rumor somewhere that fuel costs money... not sure tho
