    You my friend are clearly a moron. We paid for the subs but in the proccess did not have to pay for the development progam the manufacture program the logistic systems etc etc. Its called scalles of efficency producing one nuclear sub costs almost as mich as producing 2 hence we give the USA the money to make a few for us at far below the cost for us to build 1. We are not the only people doing this and thus the price per unit drops for everyone its far far far more efficient. Assuming nothing happens to the US well thats the risk but australia cant support a nuclear sub program by owselves so we have to go to the market and the US is a better bet than buying from other producers hence we dropped france (sorry cheese eatibg surrender monkeys).

    We dont need em huh? Do u not read the news china is fuckibg with our allies using warships to bully fishermen out of their own soverign waters china is an international bully who does not respect borders of international law are u saying we should drop our allies and tell em sorry we are just gonna sit here and whatch u get bullied nothing we can do?

    Due to the global proliferation of long range missiles our water barrier that has usually kept us safe is now completly usless a submaribe lurking is a very good incentive that such an act will not go unpunished.

    $400 billion is the cost of security for both us and our allies security and economic stability.

    Dead soldiers huh isnt that their job if u dont like it dont sign up its called self determination and happens to be one of the fundamental beleifs that america belives in. The alternative is building our own nukes prohibitavly expensive or releying on existing nuclear powers again the maths on if they would actually help us says no compared to the us.

    The goal of thr australian military at the moment is to hold the the CCP long enough the the americabs to turn bejing into a fucking carpark.
