Criticism is rising of AUKUS, a brand new trilateral army partnership between Australia, the UK and the US that the international locations say is required to counter China’s rising energy within the Indo-Pacific area. As a part of the settlement, the U.S. has agreed to assist Australia construct a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines, changing a earlier deal Australia had with France. China has denounced the deal, saying the international locations are “severely damaging regional peace and stability, intensifying an arms race, and damaging worldwide nuclear non-proliferation efforts.” Anthropologist David Vine, who tracks U.S. army bases abroad, says AUKUS is not going to solely intensify regional tensions but additionally develop the U.S. army footprint in Australia. “There isn’t a purpose to be constructing new army bases in Australia or any a part of the world,” he says.

The majority of casualties in USA’s wars abroad are children.
“Coerce and intimidate other countries,” I think the secretary of defense got confused about which side he’s talking about. Lmao.
People of Australia needs to realize ASPI is part of the Military Industrial Complex, and the only purpose for them and the MIC is to start forever wars, whether it's a War on Terror, or to make up an imaginary enemy, this time, the PRC. Australia had a really good trade relationship with China, both sides were happy, Australia made a lot of money. Australia needs to spend that money on their PEOPLE instead of feeding the MIC machine, just like the trillions of USD wasted in Iraq and Afghanistan. Take this from an American. We all wish we could get that money back.
Jeez, we wouldn't want China sailing around in their own territory. Anyone with half a brain would realize that Australia is the 51st State
We just saw the human rights goodwill of the CCP in Hong Kong. I am sure there is an abundance of high level intel that exposes China's ultimate goals, and It's not pretty. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In addition, any propaganda coming out of Cina is worthless blabber. Thumbs down on this DN segment.
What a load of baloney. Face it. China's a great power.
This is horrifying
Both tinder and spark lay in China .
60 Minutes Australia covered this. The Australians cold shouldered the French on the first sub deal. The French don't give an off about China. Taiwan's extreme vulnerability was a major point. China began the Pacific arms race. This subject seems to have eluded the media alarm bells. I think, deliberately so. It's quite enough to trigger a Peace Proliferation race. Just try not to hurt anyone's feelings🦞
It is always cringeworthy to remember that the rules the US talks about are its own fiat.
So much trouble due to mindless men
Peter Dutton aka minister for potato 🥔
2 BILLION PEOPLE STARVING TO DEATH AND A RAGING PANDEMIC AND THEY TALK OF SECURITY!!????
This is completely hideous and sick!!!!
WAR CRIMINALS ALL!
I agree. Expanding military forces in asia is disturbing the peace. This happened in the middle east. Hope it doesnt happen in asia.
Could ? I think you mean definitely.
How many unions in China? They are not Communist or even socialist.
How much China paid you, Amy?
Biden is trying to start a war with China.
China stayed as non-alliance for ages. China is a peaceful nation.
Biden lies, straight to your face.
china has been acting with impunity in the south china sea for years now building islands and insisting on territorial claims that were counter to the international tribunal on the subject.
Lenin called Western pacifists like David Vine "useful idiots". China bullies its neighbors, spies on US and our allies, engaged in a massive nuclear buildup ALREADY. Biden does smart thing – builds alliances to keep an aggressive regime at bay.
It's so dfficult to comprehend just what a horrendous country the US has become.
The citizens of the US have debased themselves to their Goverment.
Nobody would care if you didn't terrorise the world with your trillion dollar. Military budget.
In real war those will a hard times to keep up with the Chineses. Once those quickly get destroy by Chineses America will have a difficult time to make again and Chinese submarines, navy, airforce and hypersonic missiles will make America struggled to cross the Pacific Ocean.
Just what business do the British have in the Indo-Pacific region? More bull shit
Finally, someone with some sense that sleepy and his gov don't seem to have any of. No cold war in what he says but his action is anything but. That I am afraid is the mentality of the US president.
The military-industrial complex inside the US: Cheer~
It sickens me as a Democrat to know they’re in bed just as much as Republicans in regards to USMIDC. STOP GIVING THEM WELFARE!
Not sure how we could have 80 military bases in South Korea but only about 35k troops there ? What defines a US military base ?
Don't believe any of the BS coming out of the mouths of US & Australian politicians.
The New Cold War started with Obama's pivot to Asia.
Free human of the world had enough of natzi zionists
Non stop wars in middle east and the world. Sick and tired of these natzi zionists stranglehold of US foreign policy.
Free humans of US must STOP these evil satanic creatures taking over the country.
We need mass awakening
We love you amie
Please give the truth to the US public. We are sick and tired of natzi zionists nin stop wars. We need change
You have one minute to talk about all the us bases in the world including Africa go
As if the US doesn't intimidate China.
David Vine's book (kindle version) United States of War is $19. I think Mr Vine should deescalate.
COVID is a CCP bioweapon which they attempted to create a potent virus which targets race and ethnicity. Yes, this is an escaped bioweapon; which is an act of war. Xi, personally ordered the genocide of the Uighurs. China has fished it's own waters to extinction and is destroying all the other nation's sea food, which will kill all of us from starvation. CCP is executing our CIA agents kidnapping people all over the world. Please, do not manufacturer, invest, or purchase Chinese made goods. You can't trust their accounting numbers at all. The CCP owns all their assets and high yield bonds they have already defaulted on. China uses money from exports to build supersonic nukes pointed at the West and the USA and to develop more bioweapons against us. Boycott China and demand all Chinese companies be delisted from the NYSE. Punish China for the millions of deaths it has caused as well the destruction of our businesses.
