Look at the Straits of Malacca.

The Orions used to fly up there and patrol.

I don't even know if we're maritime patrolling up there.

But at its smallest part, Hormuz is 30 kilometers.

Straight to Malacca, where a lot of our trade, a lot of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, all their trade goes through three kilometres.

No, and especially that our anti-submarine warfare capabilities become almost non-existent, given our reliance on, what was that deal with the French?

you know to make submarines that cost billions and we had to buy our way out of it this is the defense procurement i mean don't even get us started on that wrong right but no but seriously nuclear power to fund our power and and to to uh to give us power and nuclear weapons to give us protection i don't see the problem yeah it's um but the government will tell you that nuclear power is dangerous but it's okay for india to have right it's okay for india to come and sign a new deal to take even more of our uranium away and

Same with China.

You know, they do the same thing.

Well, you know, you look at the expansion of China and I just wonder, you know, if my kids are going to be leading a guerrilla army one day.

And that's why we need to keep our relationship with America safe.

There's also a risk in that.

And that's why we should have nukes.

That's right.

I've always said, Nix, I've been saying it ever since the rise of, say, Indonesia.

Once upon a time, we were the superpower in the region.

Our Mirages and our F-18s could knock out.

Every Air Force was anywhere near us.

And you look at us now, and we're becoming feeble.

Like a man who had a great fortune and lost it.
