The U.S. is turning to the Aussies for some help with stationing four American submarines at Stirling in a hedge against potential future conflicts with China.

This is done in an effort to help the U.S. reduce reliance on Guam should the Chinese strike, giving the U.S. options other than Hawaii. This move has some pros and cons. Stirling is outside China’s striking range, but it’s incredibly isolated. So, the U.S. couldn’t project power directly against China from there, but China’s trade routes in the Indian Ocean and Strait of Malacca would be vulnerable. The forces based at Stirling would also be on their own if anything boils up, which isn’t ideal.

Beyond this plan being good or bad, its just outright unsettling. This move signals the U.S. is preparing for a world where our current global trading system will be irreparably broken.
