AUKUS

 Well a new 'alliance'.

Here are some comments:

A few comments. ANZUS meant we were always close to the USA. We went to Iraq because of it. It has not made us closer it has merely made it explicit.
There is more to this than nuclear subs.
nuclear cubs go further than diesel powered ones but cannot be silent like them.
The nuclear reactors are with the sub for its lifetime. When the sub is no longer in use it is discarded and not with us.
 
big problem is we have not signed a contract thus we do not know the cost and we also do not how much we pay the French Also our communication of the deal was less than ideal.
See HERE for example
