AUKUS, an alternative version.
Admiral Sleepy Joe, Captain Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, aka Bo Jo, and the cabin boy from Down Under blunder around looking for lost empires in the leaky Aukus ( named after the flightless extinct bird, the auk.) Napoleon the Frog is hopping mad, , “They stabbed me in the back”. Dusting off the photo of Charles de Gaulle, he threatened to take home his marbles and not play NATO war games.
When asked how Australia would service these new fangled internal combustion engines when its mechanics could only change spare tyres, and how much they would cost and delivery dates, the cabin boy repeated the immortal advice of a great Aussie statesman, “don’t you worry about that”, and mumbled something about winning an election, and secretly hugged the consolation of never never land.
Lustily singing that they were the very model of a modern submariner
“I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights
Historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical”
the Aukus brass diplomatically did a Horatio Nelson and did not see the line of crewless Collins subs moored at the wharf. Ashore, The Bloke from the Bush with the big hat spruiked coal to fuel the new subs; and Adelaide tradies who had gone into hock for French nuts and bolts were lined up at Bunnings for refunds.
As he lacked a red crayon, What’s his name from Down Under could not draw the threatening arrows from the North; but true to form, and flushed with pride with his new badge of assistant deputy sheriff, Potato Head upset friends and foes by proclaiming that the intent of the arrangement was “to develop Australia’s capability to protect its territories as well as that of friends in the region.”
The Dragon, which is set to swallow us, dug up an aphorism of Confucius, “avoid penis envy.” Instead, it applied to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a free-trade deal that links eleven countries including Australia; and it erected another stall to sell more underpants.

Leslie nails it!

It all gets too stupid to actually formulate the absurdity of it into understandable English text, other than the example of Leslies children’s comic translation.

nice article.

As "a maverick, activist, campaigner, essayist, freelancer, researcher and organizer..."

this would appear to be a scary, pro-CCP article by stealth.

From what I heard last night from an intelligence expert, Xi Jinping is the cause of all the trouble, not the CCP, and certainly not the Chinese people. Some of the old guard are still active in background, and there are rumours that Xi might even find himself replaced.

AUKUS has not made war more likely but less so! Given it includes the threat of M.A.D. And given the was the CCP was encircling our island continent! A timely alliance/counter!

Moreover, it includes markets for our reports that China stopped accepting! And a tactic that has only harmed China, rather than us!

Yes, old motormouth could have been more diplomatic, instead of opening up his mind, like an inebriate, who wants the world to know what's on what is left of his mind?

A conversation between two drunks walking home and taking a shortcut down a largely disused railway.
