All road leads to the building of a strong resistance to the eventual threat of China in the indo Pacific areas. think of the loss of a good deal worth billion of dollars with Ausy while US and UK thinks and quickly cemented a good opportunity to oppose the ravaging threat of China. is overwhelmingly irritant and selfish to have thought of her Economy first and relegating the National security of Australia and some other smaller countries within the indo Pacific seas and islands. US and UK have made a good deal with Australia in this regards with recourse to having a global world peace.

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 was overran during the world war and surrendered to 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!
Dude, STOP running ur mouth, abeg. In present day Europe, is 2nd ONLY to Russia from a Military might perspective. or UK couldn't have stopped the Nazis that conquered everything on their way in Europe. All those conquered nations automatically ed forces with the Nazis which of course multiplied their might by a lot. The two nations that could have defeated the Nazis were the former Soviet Union and the U.S which, the Soviet eventually did.
So STOP all these crap you're spewing, abeg.

You are contradicting yourself.
You say is selfish to have thought of their economy first.
Do you genuinely think US interests are selfless.

is the only country in the West with an independent military sector from the United States.
They don't even buy American weapons.
The picture is below is a french Rafale.
A powerful modern fighter jet.
Do you know how many times, the United States have robbed of opportunity to sell the rafale?

should go and sit down somewhere and enjoy their beautiful country. I don't blame them, I blame the African countries that are making their head swell.
So if America is not there, is it we will go for, or Russia, China, Israel, or even Australia or Canada, or UK. Please shift. We want war and economic alliance with America.

National interest supersedes business interests. They can’t possibly buy lesser submarines which won’t adequately serve them currently just because they want to patronize .
when did they realised this? There was a bidding process involving , and Japan which the French won. The Americans never participated in that contest so is right to be angry.

Since 2016 why did the contract delay? There were parts of the contract that allowed for a withdrawal. Many things happened.
Then Australia national interest since 2016 cud have changed. These are all valid considerations that superseded a stalled or delayed contract.

To the US, it is building alliance
To the UK, it is having a strong footing
To the Australian government it is self interest for protection to warn any foreign threat
While such a self interest by Australian govt to form such a strong alliance is a threat to the selfish interest of the French government.
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..
The summary of all is that, in life, your self interest to pursue the course of success is a big threat that is secretly saddening some people.

I wouldn't trust a country that builds Peugeot and Citroën to build a critical military hardware in the form of submarines. It will likely spend more time in the workshops than in the ocean.

Black race love only to enjoy life. Our brain no carry these type of things. That is why we are like this.
We love to drive car without learning how to produce one. We love smart TV, phones, everything but we don't really care about how to produce them. That is why we are only interested in selling our raw materials.

If UK was part of the European continental shelf it would have been ran over fairly by the Nazis, and that was 80 yrs ago.
America was chased out like theif in Afghanistan modern times so what did all their intelligence achieved.

Australia is wise to pick a Alliance with US.
America is not a trustworthy ally, they are stabbing a very important ally like , they are dismantling THAAD missile defense in Saudi Arabia. See how they left JOA 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.

I think saw Joe Biden as a strong er of the transatlantic alliance, that there is going to be stability after a very long time after a very difficult time during the trump istration. 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. New international relation is en vogue , the old one has been discarded

I understand how feels, they are backstabbed by allies.
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

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.
