AUKUS military alliance
Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, have formed a new military alliance called AUKUS, under the pretext of boosting security and stability in the Indo-Pacific.
But is this actually beneficial for the region, or an imperialist project that could lead to a dangerous escalation with China? The trilateral agreement would see Australia acquire cruise missiles and nuclear submarines, while ramping up Americas already giant military presence in the region.
While this agreement has been marketed as a defense pact, there are many who feel that Australia is giving much more than its receiving, conceding much of its territorial, political and military sovereignty to the United States.
