Australia explains why they ditched the French sub deal.
I don't think this is going to make the French government any happier!
The French subs were too slow, too noisy, too overpriced, and not suitable with which to fight China WHEN the war comes, when the invasion comes.
Australia has chosen sides, US and Britain over China.
China is angry too, as well as France.
France's dummy(pacifier)-spit is like a toddler tossing its toys out of its cot (cradle, crib).
Macron and ScoMo hugged in June...Macron is upset.
That was June, China is bashing Australia bigtime, clearly no friend, some might say an enemy.
Australia needs to arm itself.
If Australia is to transition from fossil fuels it needs nuclear power like the US has.
To defend itself Australia also needs a missile defence system and nukes to fire at enemies.
Macron is to phone Joe to "move on".
Will he do that with ScoMo/Australia? who knows.
