Can We Escape From the U.S?
[Early Access]
Hello Patrons,
We're talking bout AUKUS again. With everything going on in the world right now this could be the best possible moment for us to get out of a bum deal with the United States. This video takes a look at how we even ended up in AUKUS and what our relationship with the United States looks like these days.
We've got a few videos in the works about Australia's relationship with the U.S, this one is just an appetiser. Look forward to more in the future! There's be a few more sources/ details added for the final release later today.
Thank you all for your continued support,
The FJ Crew

Did anyone see Steven Curry in that very brief (swiftly cancelled) netflix series called Pine Gap that was a sexy espionage drama set in Alice Springs? The essential plot was Curry having sex with American spies and low-key betraying the Americans in the base. Very amusing.
Stephen Curry. Save ya legs what a film 🙏
Loved this. Looking forward to seeing more.
Keating has always been right about Australia building deeper ties to our near neighbours. The idea that China is any immediate or likely threat to Australian security is unfounded, started by the US on behalf of the military industrial complex using racism as the dog whistle. Ultimately, I ask myself which nation - China or the US - has been involved in or provoked a war in the last 50 years. That answer only confirms my view that Australia should wrest itself from the US dominance.
Realistically we should be pivoting to Indonesia, not China or the US. They're still a very poor nation but are growing and developing crazily fast. By getting in and providing financial assistance and cultural exchange now, we can build friendships that will last us the next century.

I've heard from one Redditor - but have also sent a please explain letter on behalf on our branch to Marles which I hope corroborates it - that AUKUS' technology share agreement is really important and valuable. Apparently we have already benefited to the tune of like 300+ "shark" drones? Drone submarines basically. But we've also helped develop it, so we're going to be making bank from it? Also AUKUS has tier 2 partners like Japan and South Korea and stuff, so it's not entirely subservient to the US exclusively.
Yeah the Teir 2 stuff is good but Tier 1 is where we're being shafted. An ideal situation would be working with the EU to replace the Submarine capabilities while putting loads more money into drones.
The biggest threat to world peace since WW2 has been US imperialism BS. We should forge closer ties with our neighbours rather than being drawn into all these BS wars which have absolutely no baring on our security. The US treat us like Muppets. Even a halfwit like me knows AUKUS only benefits the US and it's warmachine. We are are just another gullible customer for their military industrial complex and cancerous corporations. Gearing up for an imaginary future conflict with our largest trading partner who has invaded exactly nobody, is bizarre and works against OUR interests. It should be FOUSA.
Really our time of sitting on the fence between China and America is being put to the test by global uncertainty. Our best scenario is to somehow keep that grift going without either side noticing too much. Theres lots of benefits to both sides, that way we get a mediocre version of the best of both worlds
Keating really nailed it in terms of where Australia’s foreign policy should be with strong ties to Indonesia. Like imagine being part of ASEAN. We might actually have a dick to swing in that room instead of grovelling to a sunsetting hegemony that told us to look to Asia in the first place for our economic interest.
Did Jordan just call Mr. Smee AKA Scomo “Mr. Sneed”? 🤣
If Australia joined the EU, would we have to put up with Spanish & Portugese fishing trawlers pilfering our waters, or would those trawlers remain in proximity to the UK?
love your work. Just flagging something that’s not getting enough air: Dan Duggan, an Aussie citizen, has been in max security for over 1,000 days — no charges here, just a US extradition request over a 3-month subcontracting job in South Africa… in 2012. He’s being crushed in the name of AUKUS. Worth a look?
