Reply to comment by 7thAndGreenhill in Britain calls for AUKUS expansion by Falls_stuff

AUKUS isn't a NATO treaty. It's an information sharing and joint cutting edge military R&D treaty.

  • Nuclear submarine designs

  • Hypersonic missiles

  • AI

  • Cybersecurity

  • Loyal wingman UAVs

They're all joint programs under AUKUS.

literally the first sentence of the article:

>Britain has called for an overseeing body similar to NATO to ensure security in the Indo-Pacific.

This is me being surprised they Sky's "journalists" lack any understanding of what AUKUS is 😐. It's not a Pacific NATO in the slightest bit. It's far more akin to a modern era Manhattan Project, where the members pool their money and brains for a cutting edge weapons system. UK is suggesting India and Japan join said R&D team. They're not suggesting a Pacific NATO, Sky dreamed that moronic line themselves
