Australia has insisted it will keep US nuclear propulsion technology under tight lock and key after it gains access to sensitive information, with Canberra’s envoy to Washington pledging to safeguard America’s “crown jewels.”

Speaking to an audience at a US think tank on Thursday, outgoing Ambassador Arthur Sinodinos said much progress had been made on the three-way AUKUS deal signed between the US, Australia, and the UK in 2021, the details of which are set to be unveiled later this month.

“The very fact that the Americans are prepared to share their crown jewels with us implies that there will have to be progress on the seamless transfer of technology. None of us want this to be bogged down,” he told the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC.

“And I think that state of mind has now permeated through various levels of the [US] administration,” Sinodinos added.

Though the particulars of the submarine technology transfer have not been made public, Sinodinos stated that Australia has “assured Americans” and demonstrated “the sort of protection of information measures that we take to make sure they understand that their technology is safe in terms of leakage to third parties.”

The US maintains tight export controls on certain military hardware, which has created obstacles for past weapons transfers abroad. Sinodinos suggested Australia could be granted an exemption under the American regulations, saying “work is underway”but “it's not finished.”

In December, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met with his British and Australian counterparts to further hammer out the AUKUS deal, declaring that Washington is committed to furnishing new capabilities to Australia “at the earliest possible date.” At the time, Canberra’s defense chief, Richard Marles, spoke of an “enormous sense of shared mission” between the three allies, also noting that the US rarely shares its nuclear technology, even with close partners.

Asked about the precautions Australia would take to protect sensitive information given its lack of a domestic nuclear propulsion industry, Marles said on Friday that the technology would be kept under the “highest degree” of security.

“In a short period of time we’ll be announcing the optimal pathway for Australia acquiring a nuclear-powered submarine capability, and being a nuclear steward in this context is a really important part of that announcement,” he told reporters. “It does involve a really significant hardening of security in a physical sense, with buildings and fences and the like, but also in an IT sense.”

The trilateral AUKUS pact has come under fire from Russia and China. Last month, officials in Beijing slammed the deal for promoting “nuclear proliferation” in the Indo-Pacific region. Russia has echoed similar concerns, warning that the US, UK, and Australia would soon become a “military-political alliance” and seek to spark a new conflict in Asia.

THINGS ARE WEIRDO… AS OUR ASTONISHING MEDIOCRE MEDIA WANTS US TO “DO WAR WITH CHINA” AS IF IT WAS LIKE CHANGING T-SHIRTS, AND AS AN AMERICAN “INTELLIGENCE” SOURCE TELLS US THAT IT WAS JESUS CHRIST (I BELIEVE!!!) WHO BLEW UP THE NORD-SEA PIPELINES — AND TRYING TO FIND SOME VARIOUS SOURCES INFORMATION ABOUT UKRAINE’S HOLOMODOR (ГОЛОДОМОР), ONE GETS ACROSS SOME DOOZIES…

Military History

BLUF

Putin is following the example of Stalin in systematically setting out to destroy Ukrainian nationalism and even the idea of Ukraine by controlling and rewriting history.

WEIRD… HAVING STUDIED THE UKRAINE HISTORY IN SOME WAY TO UNDERSTAND WHERE PUTIN IS COMING FROM, ONE HAS TO ADMIT THAT THE AUSTRALIAN AIRFORCE SEEMS TO KNOW THE HISTORY OF UKRAINE (UNITED WITH UKRAINE! YOHOO!) LIKE IT KNOWS WHAT WE ACHIEVED IN AFGHANISTAN TILL WE (THE USA) DECAMPED. NIL. AND IN VIETNAM? SHIT.

TWO IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE BEFORE EMBARKING FURTHER:

— “UKRAINE” WAS COMPOSED OF SEVERAL PROVINCES: SOME GALICIAN, SOME POLISH, SOME RUSSIAN.

— AMERICA HAS BEEN WORKING TOWARDS DESTROYING RUSSIA SINCE 1917.

BY 2014, AMERICA HAD HELPED THE FASCISTS/NAZIS OF GALICIA (THEY ARE NOW CALLED “FREEDOM FIGHTERS” — OR “UKRAINIAN NATIONALISTS” — BY THE WESTERN MEDIA) TO THROW OUT THE LEGITIMATE PRESIDENT OF “UKRAINE” (AFTER HAVING TRIED BEFORE: IN 2004, THIS ATTEMPT FAILED).

IN 2014, THE “COUP” HAD BEEN SPONSORED BY THE USA WITH $5 BILLION CASH AS PUBLICLY TOUTED BY ONE OF THE AMERICAN “HELPERS”, (FUCK THE E.U.) VICTORIA NULAND. NOTE ABOUT 35 PER CENT OF THE UKRAINIAN POPULATION WAS RUSSIAN, ABOUT 5 TO 7 PER CENT IS “NATIONALIST” (NAZI — SEE https://yourdemocracy.net/drupal/node/47119)

BECAUSE THE NAZIS TOOK OVER THE “UKRAINIAN” GOVERNMENT, TWO OF THE RUSSIAN/UKRAINIAN PROVINCES DECLARED AUTONOMY IN “UKRAINE”.

IN ORDER TO AVOID A BLOODBATH, THE MINSK AGREEMENTS I AND II WERE SIGNED BY FRANCE, GERMANY, RUSSIA AND UKRAINE TO RECOGNISE THIS AUTONOMY.

THE UNITED NATIONS ALSO APPROVED THE DEAL.

AS EXPLAINED BY MERKEL, HOLLANDE AND POROSHENKO, THESE AGREEMENTS WERE DUPLICITOUS SMOKESCREENS TO ALLOW THE KIEV (GALICIAN/FASCIST) GOVERNMENT TO INCREASE ITS MILITARY IN ORDER TO RETAKE THE AUTONOMOUS (RUSSIAN POPULATED) PROVINCES.

“UKRAINIAN NATIONALISM” IS EUPHEMISM FOR NAZI FASCISM OF ONLY THE GALICIAN SIDE OF “UKRAINE”.

THE HISTORIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN “UKRAINE” AND RUSSIA HAS NOT ALWAYS BEEN CORDIAL.

— THE RUSSIAN PROVINCES OF UKRAINE WERE ADDED IN 1922 BY COMMUNIST RUSSIA, FROM A RUSSIAN GROUP PROVINCES (DONBASS), TO COUNTER “UKRAINE” TENDENCY TO BE “NATIONALISTIC” THAT IS TO SAY ANTI-RUSSIA AND ANTI-COMMUNISM.

— THE HISTORY TENDS TO RECORD THAT Stalin caused mass starvation in Ukraine from 1932 to 1933, killing around 3.9 million people. Ukrainians called it "Holodomor"- hunger and extermination.

NOTE: IT IS ILLEGAL TO BE A “HOLOMODOR DENIALIST” IN MANY COUNTRIES.

— The United Nations General Assembly has not recognized the Holodomor as a genocide. Many states signed one or more declarations presented in plenary sessions: 2003, 10 November: Joint statement on the seventieth anniversary of the Holodomor of 1932–1933 in Ukraine (signed by 36 UNGA members)

— The Russian government does not recognize the famine as an act of genocide against Ukrainians, viewing it rather as a "tragedy" that affected the Soviet Union as a whole, while current Russian President Vladimir Putin denies the genocide ever happened.

— Arch Getty believe the famine was the unintended consequence of problems arising from Soviet agricultural collectivization which were designed to accelerate the program of industrialization in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. Other academics conclude policies were intentionally designed to cause the famine.

— Some historians conclude that the famine was planned and exacerbated by Joseph Stalin in order to eliminate a Ukrainian independence movement. Others suggest that the famine arose because of rapid Soviet industrialisation and collectivization of agriculture.

— Snyder says that the Moscow authorities refused to provide aid, despite the pleas for assistance and the acknowledged famine situation. Snyder stated that while Stalin had privately admitted that there was a famine in Ukraine, he did not grant a Ukrainian party leadership request for food aid.

NO-ONE KNOWS WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED.

— DURING WW2, THE GALICIANS AS NOTED HERE, JOINED THE GERMAN NAZIS TO INVADE RUSSIA.

— THERE’S NOT A LOT OF LOVE LOST IN THE RECENT HISTORY OF “UKRAINE” (MIX OF PROVINCES) AND THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

— IT IS OUR FIRM BELIEF THAT UNTIL THERE IS:

NO NATO IN UKRAINE
RECOGNITION OF THE DONBASS PROVINCES HAVING RETURNED TO RUSSIA
RECOGNITION OF CRIMEA BEING RUSSIAN
A NON-AGGRESSION AGREEMENT BETWEEN RUSIAN AND AMERICA

THERE WON’T BE A SATISFACTORY SETTLEMENT OF THIS AMERICAN INDUCED CONFLICT.

IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT COUNTRIES SUCH AS AUSTRALIA DO THEIR UTMOST TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT HAS NBEEN EXPRESSED IN OUR FIRM BELIEF — BASED ON THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRESENT AND HISTORICAL SITUATION.

— JOE BIDEN IS AN IMBECILE WHO CREATES TROUBLES, AND POSSIBLY WANTS TO SEE ARMAGEDDON BEFORE HE KARKS IT. BIDEN IS A CROOK AND A THIEF.
