    Is this subreddit just like US military hate or what’s the point of it. All I usually see is memes about how US bad or Lockheed this.

    And why do we hate the US? Is it because of the orange man?

    Australia actually has a fairly robust naval shipbuilding industry in Adelaide, and an established armoured vehicle industry in the east, building bushmasters and Hawkies.

    A fair amount of drones and counter-drone systems too.

      Seeing how he’s cutting off support for right wing cookers at the knees, best thing to happen to western democracy.

      Yeah I know the current admin is being total tools but I’m glad the EU and AU are finally thinking of defense without guarantees of US help.

      Many US mil leaders have said that they want their allies to be ready to handle themselves because the US could find itself focusing on a different area of the globe

    They’re already manufacturing armoured vehicles and other hardware, much of which is currently in use in Ukraine.

    They never went away.
