Thanks. I like how in the video he is tell what the Astute class systems are.
Quad is in the early stages and it is vulnerable as well. Give the distance between the 4 members, and the Japanese/India need to safely transit the South China sea, which the Chinese control now. Which is why...
The French clearly still have an Empire, it just isn't in any strategically important places to matter. The British territories are much less populated and smaller, but in important places strategically. If you combined the British and French territories, that would be very capable of operating...
I must say I fully support Russia in its efforts to remove the Americans from eastern Europe. They have no reason or justification to be 'supporting' Ukraine. I can understand the South China Sea because international trade goes through it, but Ukraine it is simply aimed against Russia.
