Sorry for debating with you.

I am not based in Nigeria, brother, I understand international politics more than you

No need replying every htdot brain.

If you followed the tread, you must have gotten the answer into your skull.

US has a long memory.

This was already in before Biden but he could have cancelled it with heavy loss to US.

It has the finger print of Trump to punish France.

Do you read the article at all or you just feel like typing rubbish

I can’t blame Australia here. The US and UK are world super power and having both behind you is any country dream. The fact France was overran during the world war and surrendered to Germany still tint their image till today. No one want a super power who was once whipping boy by Nazi German behind them and also Australia, UK and USA have one thing in common, same language!

UK and Australia have one Queen in common as well.. Queen Elizabeth is also the queen of Australia, Canada and Jamaica

Faithful007:
This isn't about revenue, France. Its about countering China. They should stop whining about not being able to sell their diesel submarines to Australia.

Massive over reaction from France over the loss of 65 billion deal, an insignificant sum considering the level of wealth being shared amongst the developed nation of the world. Macron body language will fuel suspicion from allies as to his inner intent which isn't about the monetary loss and the indo-pacific relevance. The French wouldn't have made much of an issue out of this if UK, hadn't been involved. The bitterness over Great Britain relevance in the deal is what unsettle France. France is a notable Anglophobic country. There is a common rhetorics that the French don't feel comfortable whenever English made a headline. This feeling is also reciprocated at the other side of the atlantic but the French sometimes take it over the edge. And in recemt time, following Britain withdrawal from EU, it has assumed a much more political dimension. The feeling of threat is also more intensified as the three AUKUS nation are all English speaking. This may sent a strong message of Anglophilic connection

miqos02:
when did they realised this? There was a bidding process involving France, Germany and Japan which the French won. The Americans never participated in that contest so France is right to be angry.

This you read where it was mentioned in the agreement that Australia has right to opt out of the deal anytime they like? I be,ieve France should up their game ...if nuclear type is better than diesel type ...why should obe stick to diesel ? Anyone trying to deal with China must go for the best technology .

Not being based in Nigeria is not a yardstick for enlightenment... you need to reeducate your mind

Wetin dem wan do?

ogwumgbe:


Did which right? France's allies US, was attacked by terrorist and France refused to go to war with it's US allies, France out rightly betrayed the US

It was a terrorist organization and not Iraq as a nation that attacked the US. The American president at that time just needed an excuse for that invasion. It was not necessary

You will remain shrouded in world politics until you get out of Nigeria and see the real world bro

There's difference in seeing and knowing...where you reside at present?.

Information are everywhere now...I might be more informed than you about the country you already domiciled

CSTRR:

The France of then is different from the France of now.

It was the humiliation of that war that forced them to develop an enviable defence industry.

France now will fucckkk anybody up.

Lol My dear weapons don't win war. Strategy and Soldier morale win war. Japan almost conquered the world because her soldiers fight to death. That's good you win a war.

gnykelly:


America is not a trustworthy ally, they are stabbing a very important ally like France, they are dismantling THAAD missile defense in Saudi Arabia. See how they left JCPOA see how they withdraw from climate change agreement. See how they removed dollar from gold standard...they not a worthy allies if the price is right they will sell you for a penny.

National interest comes first

Yeah, quite true.

Fine it comes first, what about integrity.

Do you think if Nigeria wants to solidify her military equipment by building her own weapon that we should use American equipment knowinfully what they did to hauwei...I will rather build my software code that pay for an input from amer8 companies that their political leaders can disrupt your plan.
