The intervention probably also violates domestic U.S. law. It comes well after — if one starts the clock on Sept. 2 — when the U.S. struck the first boat in the Caribbean.

I am not sure AUKUS would work as a defence policy if suddenly Trump wanted the NT and North Qld to attack China. Our politicians are weak enough to hand it over.

Maybe follow the money/contracts/influence to explain why now? E.g. are a lot of these sports stars now connected to certain media networks or at least mindful of the powerful (and potentialy career-damaging) influence of certain big media owners?
