@hacks4pancakes As a recent immigrant you might not be fully conversant with Oz history.
Australia is basically a vassal state to the US, and the pattern of pay us money or bad things will happen is par for the course in the relationship.
The one time a Oz prime minister even mildly stood up for Oz interests to the US, the CIA destabilized his govt, causing his removal (Gough Whitlam).
General population knows this, and so Oz slang for an USAian is "seppo" derived from "Septic Tank" (sorry).

@hacks4pancakes wouldn't ships with new cable leave shore the second one failed?
We have given the US billions, years ago for new submarines.
We currently have zero new submarines to protect the hundreds of thousands of kilometres of undersea internet cables.
We may get a second hand one sometime, when they can be bothered. The rest are on the back of thr queue.
@hacks4pancakes a bill will follow soon, knowing these guys
@hacks4pancakes I swear, it feels like a toddler, only worse because of the stakes, and actively malicious instead of just developing like kids do.
"Having successfully pushed one boundary with no tangible repercussions (starlink in ukraine) the emotionally stunted creature surveys the landscape, seeking another, bigger, boundary to test."
@hacks4pancakes Fine cables you got there, it’d be a shame if our friends in the red Kremlin got a wiff of them, eh?
@hacks4pancakes I think perhaps it's a cry for help.
@hacks4pancakes American tech billionaires and their companies, fresh off getting to keep all their money in California and preventing us from taxing wealth for the foreseeable future, and losing all of their AI ballot measures in the USA on Nov. 3, are directing their government to tell countries not cooperating with their AI and global domination ambitions to play ball...or else.
@hacks4pancakes Passive Aggressive threat? Or just a poorly worded comment? Or a secret third thing?

@hacks4pancakes 15 exfil points… not including: microwave, satellite links, laser point-to-point links, MANETs, and other long distance data channels.
It’s almost like the US Embassy is trying to upsell another link.
@hacks4pancakes mafia's style from Trump and this "administration" nothing surprising and after they will mention Ukraine and starlink?
@hacks4pancakes What a load rot, this old cold was rot to justify their BS wars is becoming tiresome.
