Though I wouldn’t give Biden and his ilk and inkling of credit for it as a strategy, I think it would be hilarious if China decided to keep Afghanistan, and sent in a lot of military to achieve that, at the same time trying to keep up its belligerence against India and Taiwan, as well as in the South China Sea.
Nothing quite like bleeding from several places at once to put a strain on you.
It may be a decade or more before Australia actually gets any nuclear boats. The CCP will continue to move incrementally but 10 years for them will be a lifetime to finish off Taiwan along with their key needs in the South China Sea. And unfortunately I don’t see India going anywhere in that time.
With the below statement, the good professor establishes himself as a total fool for believing ANYTHING brain dead, bought and paid for Biden “promises”.

AUKUS is completely in line with President Biden’s promise not to allow China to dominate any region of the world till he was in office.
