Albert Palazzo

Dr. Albert Palazzo, former Director of War Studies for the Australian Army and adjunct professor at UNSW, dives deep into the complexities of AUKUS. He critiques the optimistic rhetoric surrounding the alliance, shedding light on the secrecy of a Pentagon review not available to the public. Palazzo explains U.S. military plans for enhanced presence in Australia and raises concerns about the feasibility of submarine production amid growing tensions with China. His advocacy for diplomacy over military escalation offers a compelling alternative in this high-stakes discussion.
