There were parts of the contract that allowed for a withdrawal. Many things happened. Then Australia national interest since 2016 cud have changed.

Have u ever been given a job or contract worth some good amount of money only to come back to hear 'we are very sorry, we found someone more competent'.. Only then you will understand why the French are really hurt.. It pains bro..

But this is just tremendously disappointing to them. You know and some European nations are not as ready to take confrontational approach to china in which the United state is advocating. Great Britain and Australia the US advocacy on this. Now, as far as the submarine deal between the Australians and the French. The Australians have been complaining and unhappy about the deal, they said that they were Over-runs, delays and cyber security issues summary of the deal, The French version was not as superior to that of the US US and Britain don't give a Bleep about , after all betrayed them during invasion of Irag, and Afghanistan.

USA and UK are close allies of and they know of this existing deal between and Australia. They know has expended considerable resources so far One would have thought that US and UK would have informed of the deal at the proposal stage so all parties may consider a t arrangement but to the USA its all about power and economic benefits, friendship can go to hell As regards Australia, they considered national security as a priority and didn't care how anyone else would feel so long as they get what they prefer. But I think there's more to this . If its just about type of submarine, Australia could have requested to upgrade the quality to Nuclear powered type instead of the conventional one earlier agreed Indeed there is evidently strong backstabbing and it pains when it's coming from supposed friends 4 Likes 1 Share ynotsadeek(m): 8:14am On Sep 18, 2021 Nothing like building alliance for the US here. The US is the world's no.1 bully. These are actions being taken just to checkmate the rise of China. And the US will sacrifice any of it's so-called "Allies" just to achieve its own goals. The US actually sees all their allies as mere tools to be used to drive their goal of global dominance. Nothing more. The way they just sacrificed their long term relationship with the French now, is how they will gladly sacrifice any country that doesn't put it's own interests above that of the US. In this particular case, Australia really doesn't even have much of a choice on this nuclear submarine issue; they either the US by g this partnership or risk incurring the wrath of Washington. The US is just being it's usual self, a real bully.
