Episode Details

Australia’s AUKUS deal is pivoting from three new nuclear subs to three used ones—but the real game’s about locking in U.S. dominance in the Pacific. Behind the submarines lies a bigger strategy: turning Australia into a permanent U.S. strategic outpost, with upgraded bases like Fremantle serving as key hubs for American naval power. By the next decade, up to 25 allied nuclear subs could rotate through bases in Fremantle, Guam, and Hawaii, aimed at controlling energy routes and projecting power toward Asia. This isn’t just about boats—it’s about securing a “forever partnership” and a long-term U.S. commitment, regardless of whether Australia ends up with new or used subs.
