Straight_Ad2258 on July 27, 2025 10:11 pm Tuvalu’ s conditions are unique, though Supper small population:10,000 people Super low elevation, entire country is below 1 meter above sea level AFAIK Australia made this deal not only to protect Tuvaluans, but also to counter Chinese influence in the region Even if the islands submerge entirely, Australia could still build a military base on top ,even making some sort of polder or dyke cant be that hard. Good move from Australia’s side ,both humanitarily and strategically/economically

Tuvalu’ s conditions are unique, though
Supper small population:10,000 people
Super low elevation, entire country is below 1 meter above sea level AFAIK
Australia made this deal not only to protect Tuvaluans, but also to counter Chinese influence in the region
Even if the islands submerge entirely, Australia could still build a military base on top ,even making some sort of polder or dyke cant be that hard.
Good move from Australia’s side ,both humanitarily and strategically/economically
