Great Power contentions

[Crandar]

Dunno, this sounds more fluff than substance to me. Australia doesn't have the technical capacity to build and maintain nuclear submarines and its naval bases are of questionable quality. To me, it looks more like an attempt to please America and ratify the diplomatic treaty than a genuine endeavour to improve Australia's military potential. It could also work as a distraction for the domestic front. The government's popularity is waning, following allegations of corruption and the parliament rape scandal.

Also I have a feeling Biden forgot Scot Morrison's name.
