Ryder is entirely correct (at least in the underlying layer). It has far more to do with (anti-capitalist + corrupt) politics than capitalism. Silicon valley is a deep blue democrat hub for a reason. California at large has entrenched monopoly (Dem) party system in its city councils...

We have the statement @DAVEBLOGGINS et al: Essentially, SSN(R) is now "SSN-AUKUS" (I really hope they change that name). First UK boat is late 2030s, with the first Australian one a few years later. Reactors are all going to be built in the UK and shipped over as sealed-for-life units...

RIP Danylo Murashko and fair winds to you up there. As an aside, it reminds me of a (WW2 RAF) comic strip story that I would read repeatedly as a kid (it was in a larger WW2 collection my uncle had from the "Commando" series that he bound all together into one hardcover book as notable "hero"...

SSN vulnerability in shallow straits is well known feature and large part of PLAN focus on SSK + AIP instead: https://news.usni.org/2015/07/08/essay-chinas-submarine-solution-for-the-taiwan-strait The US will likely have to mature things on the UUV front at more accelerated pace so that...
