48 hours after the #AUKUS announcement, it's surprising there's not more analysis/coverage of the REAL transformative deal, which has NOTHING to do re subs but about US deployment of forces in Oz. reuters.com/world/australi…

#Australia the #submarines deal is a small facet of a much larger shift towards a NATO-style linkup in the Indo-Pac region. When FR furor calms down, there's a high level of probability that FR&EU will be integrated to #AUKUS, FR is the natural partner given its presence in the region.

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 🇫🇷.

For personal context: I was born in FR&now a dual FR CA citizen. Background: 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇫🇷 cooperated closely during WW2 in New Caledonia and Noumea became the main rear naval base after Pearl Harbor. 182ndinfantry.org/defending-new-…
