‘We found out from the press’ says French ambassador on scrapped submarine contract

France recalls ambassadors to US and Australia after Aukus pact ► https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/sep/17/france-recalls-ambassadors-to-us-and-australia-after-aukus-pact

So pity that the French helped the backstabbing americans during the American Revolution!

Rubbish wouldnt belive a word

I don't believe anything the french or ABC say.

Deal with it France!! well deserved

Artie Bucco got burned on that French Vodka, The Aussies got reamed by French Torpedoes….

Pathetic this man is because he is speaking from very hungry emotions he needs to cool down and see that Australia has the right to get a better deal and technology for their country instead of chasing French diesel boats that the Chinese knows all about it from a leak document.

Remember when the left wing press were so happy to report Macron buddying up with Biden and cutting out Boris at the G7?? LOL 🤣

He wanted this money to buy himself another home

Guardian remoaning till the end

Both Australia and S Korea should have nuclear submarines to put pressure to China. Let France work on S Korean nuclear submarines project will make France happy thus Biden should just go with flow to make everybody happy. S Korean nuclear submarines can check on N Korea or China in few hours but Australian nuclear submarines will take over a week to get to China. It's time for S Korea to arm with nuclear weapons and submarines for its defends or ended up like S Vietnam or Afghanistan. China has 3 fleets North, East and South. Chinese north fleet port is within reach of S Korean cruise and tactical missiles and have to pass by S Korea armed with land based anti ship missiles thus they are trapped. S Korean navy can destroy China's East fleet then it leave only China's southern fleet against S Korean navy. During training with Thai air force, Chinese J10 and J11 were no match against Thai Swedish Grippen fighters due to accuracy of their missiles and radar which are similar to F16. S Korea is armed with F16, F15 and F35 which are maintained well. China will lose more than 1,500 fighters if it try to fight S Korean air force.

The Vanguard Class Submarines built by BAE in Barrow in Furness have the most advanced sonar systems in the world.
Why buy French?

This about the continual disintegration of the European project.. Merkle has held on long enough to ensure the German control over the french would continue in Europe. Now that macron is rapidly loosing all cred ability in the face of election defeat his party is blaming every other country on his failure. First it was hungry and Germany, then Britain and Spain on fishing, then its sponsoring a war in libia and now the germans and Australians don't want to buy French defense equipment in the light of the chineese Arms build up to invade Taiwan… The Europeans laughed at macron but soon he will be out!

Ah, “President” Biden doin work! He’s the worst president our country has ever had and is the poster child why liberals, who voted for him like teenage girls at a boy band concert, are intellectually and morally bankrupt.

Do businesses throw temper tantrums when their contracts get canceled?

Since Miterran, France has become a lap dog of USA foreing policies. Use, abuse and discard that is USA's DNA. That is why Trump is so popular. Maybe France will go back to an independant positions from the white anglos

Nobody cares about the French, just eat a croissant and shut up!

France is our closest neighbour AND an allied nuclear power.
The UK just shyte on it's own doorstep.

There obviously was no contract other wise France would have sued. Australia is facing a serious threat it makes sense to me that they would want the best technology for defense

France is not family 🇬🇧🇳🇿🇦🇺🇨🇦🇺🇸! Remember that you garlic eating snails!

Yeah through the press is generally how our government finds out what it's doing as well.

These 5-eyes countries are all islands. The US may not literally be an island, but their mindset is of an island. This mentality has always affected their foreign policy.

It is high time for EU to be the world's third leg, after China and US. You know a table needs a minimum of 3 legs to stand.

Lesson number one! Never trust British people..

EU, New Zealand and the world should embargo all Australia exports for violating the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Australia should be punished.

France will remember this and should stands with Russia instead of this « allies »

Australia is now left vulnerable without any subs. Maintaining the current fleet will be difficult if you consider the stance taken by France. At first we would not hear of nuclear, but suddenly they are the only choice. How much of Australian taxpayer money is down the drain. We will never find out.

Valued and respected ally!

France should buy 2 F-35 fighters and give one to Russia and another to China.

Either the French government does not talk to their diplomats, or he is lying…either scenario is quite appalling…..

This guy must be one of the greatest liars of all time. France's government was informed by the Australian government and the US/UK. Phone calls are always recorded. The Australian government has stated this and the US. Never believe France they always lie, Macron even lies to his own people whilst looking after the EU and his rich friends. Maron is not a friend of anyone but himself. He wants to be the top dog in Europe as Merkel is retiring. JUst look what he has done to his country turned it into a war zone.

The United States are not reliable allies, the EU needs to build a common defense.

Hey, France 🇫🇷 Don’t Get Mad Get Even.

🤣 💩 happens

Brexit is such a disaster it took me a full 10 seconds to pass French customs in the UK.

this hurts, love France from India 🇮🇳☺️

So Australia, who's not In the EU, deicided to do a deal with a better value product, with two partners who are also not In the EU.
So you could say, it's beneficial, in this particular case, to not be in the EU

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm starting to believe that Biden has no idea how communication works. Masks when on a teleconference? Let allies know the Biden administration actions, after the fact, through he US media? Ya. Glad we got rid of the "incompetent" Trump!…lol!

Nuclear powered is superior to diesel powered. Sorry France..
