I write #PerspectiveandContext on @SubstackInc and @Medium and will try and give both on the #AUKUS security announcement and the spillover negative effect of 🇦🇺reneging on its giant submarine contract with 🇫🇷.

Background: 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇫🇷 cooperated closely during WW2 in New Caledonia and Noumea became the main rear naval base after Pearl Harbor. 182ndinfantry.org/defending-new-…
