The United States can no longer extort its own citizens because they have nothing left and use their tax base to continue the military industrial complex. So now they want tax hours take our taxes and use them to beef up American companies

I want to know what benefit it is to us to have the AUKUS agreement with the UK and the US. We’ve really only talked about the US in regard to AUKUS and we seem to have been taken for a ride by them, but what is the UK commitment to this defence alliance? What are we getting from the UK and what are we giving them?
