Easy buy the better submarine no brainer

If you look at the WWII it was the USA, UK and the commonwealth countries (Australia etc) that defended and won freedom for the world. The EU countries where and continue to be paper tigers, especially France.

In defense of the French…they are not very good in defending anything

Maybe If a little more thought had of been applied then they perhaps could have included France in a 4 way alliance/deal this surely would have exhibited a more united western front to chinas belligerent & coercive behavior in the indo pacific? but I’m not smart like politicians.

Pissed off the French and Chinese in one go. Superb 🍺

Political theatre once again to distract from the burning pyres that are: Australia, USA, France and the UK. Same with every news channel now drumming fear over AUKUS going to war with China.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 awwww diddums 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Omg why are we bothered! France doesn’t and never has given a shit about the UK, they are a very, very selfish nation, always have been. If it wasn’t for the UK they’d all be speaking German…just sayin 🤔

Stuff the French we r always bailing them out. I reckon this is in retaliation after we've given them millions n they r still turning a blind eye to immigrants coming across the channel. France hasn't helped us for years so stuff em.

Jealous much France?

Why would you want to buy a Windows XP when you can buy Windows 11

Had the shoe been on the other foot, France and EmmanuelMacron wouldn’t have batted an eye lid at getting one over on UK. They’ve hardly been our best friends during Brexit! Bollocks to them, suck it up. AUKUS

U.K. should withdraw its Ambassador in protest at France’s failure to withdraw its Ambassador from the U.K.

The comments under these articles are always a sad reflection on society and human beings. Cock waving from some of the biggest cocks on the planet.

And so has your country not stopping people cross the channel...

France throwing their dummy out of the Pram

Australia realised that submarines can only go backwards ..

Goes to show we are better off out of Europe, we can now fix our own deals 👍 brexit works

Will Aukus become Fraukus? Biden loves to spring shit on people doesn’t he…

Very good news, shortly france will join URSS. USA and UK must help africains countries trapped in francophonie curse alligator alliance to join the commonwealth if they want to give a coup the grace to France and franc CFA. To stop France plundering of africains minerais.

France should asks themselves why Australia doesn't want them.

The AUKUS agreement is going to become the FAUKUS agreement... In 3,2,1...

The good relationship with France is a blip. Historically France has always had poor international relations. Let them carry on alone in their own insolent world

You mean, like when France pulled out of Nato? 🙄

What? And trying to shaft us over Brexit hasn’t?

France lost a deal to competitors? Now it starts crying? Laughable.

France is making a calculated risk here, macron has gambled that trump will stand for re-election and win, who in turn will dump Britain and back France!

That plus the disaster in Afghanistan

Putting aside the little Englander Bexshite brigade, most decent folk in the UK will see this deal between Australia and Us as a stab in the back for France in regards to the subs.

Oh well.

I don’t understand why it is “unacceptable behaviour” for Australia to in effect decide to award the contract to someone else other than France. Sounds like they both pitched and The UK and US pitch win with AUKUS, sour grapes? aukus

Ha ha ha We all hate France anyway

What a beautiful sight it is ... All these countries of so called NATO are just working as stooges just to maintain US's hegemony as super power.

The french are up in arms when it comes to losing money , but they have been stabbing England in the back over decade's but we don't cry like they do . The french have never liked the British , that is why I wouldn't go on holiday there if you paid me because there not friendly .

Stop criticism. Do you think UK is better'? This is a country where covid was uncontrollable and many deaths could have been avoided! So no country is perfect!!!

Oh, please.

Whenever the US is involved its trouble and purely for US interests.

France set to close the channel tunnel to the uk

Always plays well with the French public when their leaders take on the USA. Especially when there's an election in the air and the President is polling badly.

That can't possibly be wasn't Biden was going to the president to make all our allies like us.

Looks like the channel tunnel will be sealed up 🆙 French won’t put up with this madness any longer

caused one of the greatest sulks in living memory u mean😁

Anyone reminded France of it's on/off a attitude to NATO over the years?

No wonder it’s deplorable despicable situation

Best to get over the sulking soon before Putin's and Xi's glee hangover sobers up.

France lost its $90 billion order for nuclear submarines to the US. As a staunch ally of the US in Europe, it is shameful for the US to do so. I hope the US will not let its Allies down completely

The French have been stabbing the UK in the back for decades

If France joins it be FAUK US

AUKUS deal may 'make Australia a target for a NUCLEAR strike'As part of a new three-way alliance with the UK and US, Australia will be given the technology to build at least eight nuclear-powered - but not nuclear armed - submarines 🙄 China is doing wonderful work, by Saber Rattling, they are making so-called Free World to spend more Money on USELESS weapon systems instead of human development, making countries like Australia, further damage their own society, while China is further improving lives of Chinese! What's the actual point in nukes. As soon as one is fired then it's literally the end of the world. US UK Russia China all have nukes pointing at one another. It makes no sense, everyone is dead if it goes off

Martin Rowson on the Aukus military pact — cartoonThe US, UK and Australia are setting up a trilateral security partnership aimed at confronting China, which will include helping Australia to build nuclear-powered submarines This cartoonists art is repulsive. Everything I've ever seen by him is extremely ugly. Not only for the actual way he draws/paints, but also for where the inspiration for this art is coming from. Ive never seen him try to inspire hope, only throw shit all over everything. Meanwhile... Due to the classified nature of the work performed at Pine Gap, it is necessarily the case that relatively few people are briefed on its functions & very few are briefed on the most sensitive activities that are undertaken there. MartinRowson is always spot on
