Australia has said it “notes with regret” France’s unprecedented decision toover the scrapping of a submarine contract – part of the Aukus military deal that experts said could damage relations for years and have serious broader consequences.
Sadly the world has gone mad, seeing nations spending billions and billions on weapons (nuclear weapons!), in stead of on improving people's lives and combating climate. Do we deserve to be called mankind? Are we kind to each other anymore?
Biden must have tripped and hit his head on the wall because he did something right for a change.
Aus does not have to explain itself, if they get something better from the US, why not?
A lot of submarine experts on Twitter 🤣
Australia 🦘 is a CHEATER
who are we now 3 weeks we endorsed the deal with Naval publicly now PM says we have been working 18 months to swap Minister does not know wrong to accept donations unkown people PM has to get advice to tell him its wrong used to be a generous straight forward nation Duplicitous.
To make up for the £40 billion the UK should give France the £500 billion contract for the UK test and trace program 👍 Johnsonout
AUSFUK, FRAUKUS, FUKUSA & FAUKUS really didn't meet the big expectations of the negotiators of the treaty for nuclear submarines between our countries 🤣 Sorry France but your 'F-bomb' is hard to fit in there & not be utterly HILARIOUS🤣 It's really not that personal, ya know?
The E.U decides French import/export rules & they were already giving us a raw deal. There is nothing they can do except throw a temper tantrum.
What are they going to do next,stop you having French wine or cheese,Oz wine is better anyways,and English Cheddar isn't bad either.
Australia has the right to buy good and excellent merchandise Australia is not in West or North Africa to buy France's shit من حق استراليا شراء بضاعة جيدة والممتازة استراليا ليست في غرب او شمال افريقيا لتشتري الخرذة الرديئة الفرنسية USA_australia 🇦🇺
yrs..it will last the drastically shortened life of the nation this means total dependence on USA for air & sea defence just like with the UK before ww2 those that remember history are doomed to watch the rest repeat it auspol AUKUS USUKA WW3 LNPfail AustraliaHasFallen
Pas de mauvais sentiments France. Vos sous-marins sont vieux et obsolètes. 🤌🏻
France will sulk for a while, then they’ll be back.
First hit someone on face w/ full force, damage it fully, next offer apologies. Who taught this dirty lesson
How bout those cheese eating surrender monkeys just stay thankful for being bailed out twice by 🇺🇸 🏴 🇦🇺
And long may we remember The Rainbow Warrior. France to a TEE. As if they have EVER assisted in the IndoPacific. GET REAL, MACRON.
French got caught trying to sell the Aussies yesterdays submarine tech and NOW they throw a tantrum because the Ausies told them where to go.
While no doubt the French gov is “outraged”about Australia’s submarine decision,they seem to be very quiet (still) in acknowledging Australia’s outrage at the south pacific nuclear testing program they conducted. And the bombing the Rainbow Warrior in New Zealand. reflection?
How it all started:morrison and co planning to make a masterstroke move against China How it ended:morrison have driven a wedge between aus and eu, and exposed australia as untrustworthy partner, with the added bonus of alienating indonesia, Imagine the laughter in Beijing 😂
The shittiest bit is that oz us uk didn’t let the french know about it! Instead, they lied, and did they own deals behind France’s back! Now France is gonna side with China and Russia, the EU will follow suit. The shitty 3s will never match an EU, Russia and Chinese coalition 💪
I remember a time when Pakistan had paid for a nuclear reprocessing facility and the French took the money and then later changed their mind and cancelled the deal. Pakistan never recalled their ambassador to France and took it like real men. This is how we felt France.
It is all about money. France was trying to sale Australia their submarines.
Perhaps Australia is a bit miffed that the EU (including France) hijacked their vaccines. Maybe they don’t trust them anymore. 🤷♀️

France making inept decisions as in WWII
Boo hoo france builds crappy diesel subs. Makes sense to me as from a modernization standpoint. Id want nuclear subs too. Its not like your getting 100 nuke subs. 5 even 4 is enough along side a pacific u.s. fleet. Although i would have asked australia for a base to lease
Australia is only a nation of 25 Million people Yet both France & US are fighting over who milks us for 8 nuke subs which wont be built for 10 yrs $90 Billion Global Military Mafia Tax This is money laundering
Why have I got this unpleasant feeling that Johnson and Rees-Mogg are gleeful about this.
So will the French! This hissy fit, just draws attention to their incompetence on the world stage.
So hat to hear about the rift.
In May the media outlets bagged the ongoing issues with the French deal and how poorly the French contractor was communicating with us. Now it's all our fault. Would someone like to get their story straight. Which is it?
That french sub deal was going pair shaped anyway, with massive cost overruns before it even started building anything...
Let us not conflate recalling ambassadors with recalling ambassadors “for consultations“.
The contractor couldn't fulfill its obligations. Secondly who spits the dummy like that when their contractor failed all milestones? Petulant and immature.
Childish French throwing their toys out of the their pram ... sad to see a country act with such immaturity
France has gone off the deep end - recalling their ambassadors from Australia AND the US over this?!! Next year by by Macron - hopefully they will get a saner President
Aukus ruckus
This Aussie style of diplomacy is my favorite thus far! 😄
The wind has changed since 2016 'According to the contract, the first boat was to commence sea trials in early 2016, with delivery occurring in late 2016/early 2017. This was to be followed by entry into service in late 2017'
How do you say I speak French in Chinese?...
