France will take the extraordinary step of recalling its ambassadors from Australia and the United States, as the fallout grows from a new defence pact that has infuriated French President Emmanuel Macron.to tear up a $90 billion contract to buy 12 French submarines in favour of a new nuclear-powered fleet using technology from the US and United Kingdom.
Jean-Pierre Thebault, the French ambassador to Australia, and Philippe Etienne, the ambassador to the US, will return for “consultations”.
BevanShields Big big mistake. France does not like betrayal. ScoMo is a bogan embarrassment NuclearSubmarines France
BevanShields It’s ok just sell them to China
BevanShields Was t it a $50b contract that was signed and the costs blew out? 🤔
BevanShields Ofcouse 90b is not a joke!
BevanShields Why can’t we see the true intention from the US? By asking Australia to order the Nuclear Powered Submarine from them, it’s the same as US increases their fleet without the need to finance, maintain & provide resources. Is US our master?
BevanShields Design and build our own subs… problem solved! 🤷♂️
BevanShields if USA can sell nuclear submarines , can China sell Iran one?
BevanShields Fine. Didn’t France lose to Viet Nam (Viet Minh) in 1945 and then 1954? They must’ve known: VO Nguyen Giap! So, if they consider to join China, they know very well where they could’ve ended up if there were a war.
Elaineschofiel9 BevanShields Does anyone, in Australia, really care what the French Government does or thinks? Their influence and involvement, in the Asia Pacific region, is minimal.
BevanShields We probably don't have 90 billion dollars to our name.
BevanShields Who cares
BevanShields Ahhh...france screwed and stabbed Australia in the back in the un. Dont forget that, they deserve no allegiance from us.
BevanShields The French may have forgotten what they said about the Anglo-Saxons long ago: like a group of villains looking for carrion vultures with sinister and cunning eyes.
BevanShields Detente at its finest
BevanShields “We built a relationship of trust with Australia, and this trust was betrayed and I’m angry today, with a lot of bitterness, about this breach [of contract],” FFM. Well the French should know this is what many Australian citizens have felt last 20months.
BevanShields Spoilt children are the frogs
BevanShields Imagine signing a contract to build diesel powered submarines converted from nuclear, spending 7 years of effort and then tearing up the contract to buy nuclear powered submarines after all.
BevanShields France is acting like a spoilt child
BevanShields And who can blame France for their reaction to this hasty and ill-considered decision that does little for Australia’s national security and owes much to the UK’s desperation to find new partners after their Brexit disaster
BevanShields ScottMorrisonMP thepmo another blunder that costs us all who put this fool in charge ? thanks to all who voted for LNP rorters
BevanShields Here’s a way to solve the problem……just don’t buy useless submarines. Australia could use that 90 billion dollars on something like bush fire prevention, barrier reef protection, education…
BevanShields 😂
BevanShields And the French can make nuclear subs just as good as the Americans if not better
BevanShields The French are a strange lot. Over emotional and have short memories. Did the Aussies, Brits and Yanks liberate them one or twice?
BevanShields auspol insiders Scott Morrison has become an international embarrassment.. If journalists here want to continue to be apologists for ThatFellaDownUnder. This sends a message of arrogance to other nations. And media you need credibility, without it people don't listen
BevanShields the French are hypocrites. They tested bombs in our backyard like the British on our land and yet they turn their backs. An adult would sell their nuclear program to AU
BevanShields Kiss goodbye to any trade deals with the EU scomo f&^ks it again
BevanShields This is a Morrison huckster job. Next year the full state of budget deficit will be known. Dont be surprised if he gets a boost in the polls from this it's a November election. The French order canned, there's no subs on order from USA or UK. If ordered won't be one till 2035
BevanShields Morrison should feel a little shame
BevanShields
BevanShields Champagne is going to get very expensive.
BevanShields France are more cheesed off over the fact they weren’t included in the pact.
BevanShields How many Australians lie dead on the fields of France? Thousands. How many Frenchmen have died for Australia? Zero. This is just a dummy spit. The balance sheet is in our favour. Lest we forget.
BevanShields
BevanShields 'Rainbow Warrior Strikes Back' .....the sequel
BevanShields Another dazzling diplomatic coup for Scott Morrison, the greatest statesman of the age, who, not content with antagonising China, our largest trading partner, must also alienate New Zealand AND Indonesia AND France. If this isn't geopolitical genius, then what is?
BevanShields I am sorry France ThatFellaDownUnder
BevanShields I wonder if Macron -another conservative- was aware than dealing with The Scamo meant taking a highway to hell. He certainly should have paid more attention to the tragic Australian bushfires or vaccination debacles.
BevanShields This is extreme reaction. It’s a business deal gone sour ffs. There’s T&Cs in contracts to cover this. French are like babies. What’s next? Pistol duel at 50 paces or maybe with swords?
BevanShields Who gives a rat's pyjamas what they think. They've pretty much demonstrated that they're incapable of fulfilling their contract with us, so why shouldn't we look for better, more viable alternatives ?
BevanShields France acts in the interest of France,Australia must act in Australia’s interests. France ..3rd largest world arms exporter …rejection is a dent to its ego. Should Australia run with overpriced , outdated submarines to appease French ego 😏. Non EmmanuelMacron auspol
BevanShields I can’t wait until we vote this government into oblivion. I can’t think of a more corrupt and unaccountable government in living memory.
BevanShields We have vinegar for upset governments ITS our money monkey's
BevanShields Doing what the French do best and giving up 😉
BevanShields Finally consequences given there seems to be none for the failed pandemic response, and of course the rorting, the failure to act on rape allegations, and taking no real action on $1M blind trust integrity breach
BevanShields It’s time to bring in the fixer or is/was that the problem, to start with, the fix was in cpyne
BevanShields This dead cat just keeps on giving.
BevanShields You know your country is in trouble when your foreign policy is dictated by ASPI, who is funded and run by the US government and US weapons manufacturers trying to profit off a cold war with the boogeyman China. Remove LNP and disband ASPI!!
BevanShields I don’t particularly care about submarines or or even going with a better deal for our country, but the way that move is being executed speaks volumes about character of the government, this is something Russia do and not a respected government, why not do due diligence before ?
BevanShields In Feb 12, an Afghan soldier shot and killed four French soldiers. The French President threatened to suspend French operations in Afghanistan. The French President announced in Jun 2012 that he would be withdrawing 2,000 of France's 3,400. In Nov 2012, combat troops were gone.
BevanShields Awww French are angry and they were rude to begin with! So angry and rude!! How very French !!
BevanShields The French retreating … again, who would have thought 🙄
BevanShields Political bullshit.
BevanShields I’m sorry France, I’d buy 90 billion dollars worth of cheese if I could afford it. auspol
BevanShields So we pissed off two UN council members and our neighbors
BevanShields Our word is our bond
BevanShields :-)
BevanShields
BevanShields The French, always protesting…
BevanShields Remember the Rainbow Warrior
BevanShields I remember when France were letting of nuclear bombs in the south pacific. I remember when French spy’s blew up the rainbow warrior.
BevanShields
BevanShields Now watch China try to wedge New Zealand and Australia...
BevanShields The thing is France hasn’t been all in on China. Change your mind and sure , can be FAUKUS
BevanShields We’ve upset the surrender monkeys.
BevanShields French submarine ! Seriously?! It wouldn’t accept water to work, will demand perfume instead! 😂
BevanShields And money manager ScoMo, exactly how much is this costing Australia in termination fees? I suspect the answer is in billions. Come clean.
BevanShields Boy give us an election to get rid of Scott
BevanShields Quick, lock up your “Rainbow Warriors” 😳
BevanShields Well there we are. I am so disgusted by this scumbag narcissistic piece of excrement, his hidden agendas and his head nodders who run our country. He should return to Maccas and live in the cubicle he lost his shit in immediately. He has demonstrated nothing here. Vote them out.
BevanShields French ambassador probably just had enough of lockdown
BevanShields Morrison (or a more competent successor) is going to have to find a way to mend this with the French. You can't just cancel a deal as big and important as this with an ally. Especially not in the underhand way it was cancelled.
BevanShields Shame. I do recall France doing nuclear bomb testing just off the Australian coast and ignoring our pleas to stop, declaring their right was more important - so don’t cry France.
BevanShields This is good. The world needs to distance itself from the Beast of Liberty, the five-eyes, so it can diminish.
BevanShields Australia & the US must retaliate. Ban croissants immediately!
BevanShields ScottMorrisonMP The Australian public doesn’t want or need Submarines They need strong leadership auspol ThatFellaDownUnder COVID19
BevanShields 👏👏👏
BevanShields
BevanShields Sooks
BevanShields I think that we are better off with US/UK technology in the long term.
BevanShields As a Leigh Sales lefty I feel it is my responsibility to be a General Milley and tell M. EmmanuelMacron we have religious extremist idiots in charge at the moment but come the next election our government will be cleansed
