They should try being more racist and joining more military alliances against China.
Australia's such a puppet that it paid billions of dollars to have limited access to their overlord's submarines in possibly, maybe, fifteen or twenty years
15-20? Sounds optimistic to me, I thought it was more in the 40~ year range (and even then not a given).
Meanwhile our media and leaders are predicting war with China in 2027...
So how the fuck are submarines planned to arrive decades later going to be relevant? Shrug
I can’t wait until australia and new zealand are kicked out of the imperial core through economic warfare. Demographically, it’s already well on its way to becoming an asian country. The west can play in the north atlantic.
Hopefully in time the west can be kicked out of the west and south Atlantic, too. And if we're really hopeful, the "west" should be contained, barred from leaving their coastlines for any military activities. After what their nations have done and continue to do, once the western decline is a done deal (or if and when they call MAD upon themselves) the entire world should see to it that the west will never rise as seafaring terrorists ever again.
Oooh, I like the idea of the globe completely disarming European states and establishing that any state that wished to maintain a military must fully decolonize itself.
