Is Australia getting nuclear-powered submarines via the AUKUS agreement a good thing?

OP: Is Australia getting nuclear-powered submarines via the AUKUS agreement a good thing?

I DISAGREE...

The warmongering / war-is-big-business / white-is-right club of nations. Can't countries like China, UK, Aus, and the US just ship themselves to Mars and let the rest of the world live in relative peace?

Why are we attacking china ? Why aren't we behaving like Singapore ? Why are we so desperate to please the United States? My God, this is horrible . We need to stop this

We would of been better off with the japanese subs. Super quiet, a small magnetic profile and less subject to infra-red detection. Easier to repair and cheaper by a factor of ten

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS

Why not invite China, Taiwan North Korea France and anyone else who wants to attend, to the meeting as well? That way. they can sort out matters concerning all of them.

So one country complains about what engine we put in a submarine, and this is news? I'm off to wash my sock and jocks.

I AGREE...

Funny how China who has Nuke subs, Nuke weapons and have recently added Aircraft carriers to their Navy is threatened by a little nation getting a couple of submarines in 20 years. Or is it just because Australia won't do as they're told?

It was also going to take 20 years to get the dud French Submarines. They made the right move. The real disgrace is that due to â€˜politickingâ€™ it took so long to reach the right decision in the end.

They send their warships and spy vessels off our coast, then whine and carry on like a baby when we decide to protect ourselves. We don't need China coming here buying up our land and driving housing prices through the roof.

I always cringe when super powers think they are the only ones entitled to expand their military endlessly and un-abated. Yet the moment much smaller and less powerful nations recipricate, they get all upset.

"The only language a war-like adversary understands is a demonstration of greater power." - Admiral Hayes Learn from history. China was nearly torn to pieces a century ago. It knows this quote all too well. We would do well to heed the warning of this quote too.

Wait, China has 80 subs. I don't get it. Are we supposed to defend ourselves with harsh language on the battlefield? Sorry hippies - but we don't live in a Starfleet utopia yet - having a modern defence force in line with other countries is a prudent thing to do, and is definitely not the warmongering we are now being accused of.

Hints and Tips

Keep your words and phrases to the point. Be as objective as you can.

Remember. Here, you are an intelligent entity of thoughts. You are not YOU. You are not bound by your personal beliefs, affiliations, etc. You can play devil's advocate, explore other ideas which you would never think of exploring as the real you.

Learn, understand other points of view. Become other points of view. Contribute to the tree of knowledge. You are but one leaf in a vast forest of intelligence. Make your thoughts known.

Know the type of question

Debatable questions
If the question is a debatable question, there is an immediate opportunity to agree or disagree. Formulate your responses and chose to either agree or disagree. If you have a question or a reply that is not picking a side for or against, use the Questions or Comments option.

Fielding questions
If the question asks for ideas on a particular topic, use the Questions or Comments option to reply with your ideas. This can lead to a debate on the pros and cons of your reply.

Field of Thoughts is an experimental messaging system designed to maximise understanding and minimize confusion, even with complex discussion, many viewpoints, multiple conversations and multiple back-and-forth counterpoints.

The indentations can show cooperative discussions (diagonal right) and strong conflict (diagonal left). These "rabbit holes" lead to a rapid understanding of incumbent positions on subjects (bottom left) and progress forwarding one's understanding (bottom right). Look out for these in the field.

The thumbs system helps mitigate spam and clutter. Messages that do not add to the field should be thumbed down. This pushes them towards the bottom of the stacks. This method also conversely can be used to push interesting, insightful and informative thoughts to the top.
