Defence procurement bungles and wins

Cancel all foreign aid to them and give them notice we're closing our embassy.  Then watch them sweat

Playing right into the CCP’s hands  :

The fact that the US didn’t re-open its Solomon Islands embassy is a factor in the CCP gaining a foothold in our backyard. Hopefully, a new US embassy and Scotty keeping his mouth shut will reverse the CCP’s gains.

And we wouldn’t get much of a missile base for the paltry amount of aid we give the Solomons … not that a missile base would present much of a threat.
