Submarine & Other Matters

The misadventures of AUKUS robot AlboGov never cease. I publish on subs, other naval, nuclear weapons & broad political issues. Aussie sub changes are glacial: talk rather than actual new subs. The 1st Collins LOTE may secretly concern the US Combat System & be ready 2029. Trump may decide to cancel the AUKUS Virginia offer due to USN advice it needs all operational SSNs right through to the 2040s. My colleagues Shawn C and Gessler are excellent writers. Pete.

Taiwan War Shipping, Undersea Cable Shocks & Famine

The Maritime Executive has produced an excellent, though initially repeditive,

report of September 4, 2022 entitled:

"Report: Invasion of Taiwan Risks Container Shipping, Internet Cables"
Taiwan will be far worse than the Ukraine War, particularly for the US economy.
My Own Idea:
The Ukraine War has boosted a global food crisis. This would be made much worse by a war over Taiwan. Any prolonged disruption to finely balanced Northeast Asian food supplies might cause major famine in mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and the Koreas.
