1. France’s former ambassador to the United States has lashed out at the new arms deal reached by Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom, claiming that his country has been “stabbed in the back.”
On Thursday, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced a historic agreement for Australia’s submarine programme to “go nuclear” as part of a defence pact with US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Australia will build a fleet of nuclear submarines as part of AUKUS, a new security alliance between Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom.....
The submarines will be built in Adelaide in collaboration with the UK and the US.
“The world is a jungle. France has just been reminded this bitter truth by the way the US and the UK have stabbed her in the back in Australia. C’est la vie,” French diplomat Gérard Araud said in a tweet....

2. "Stealing" is the favourite catchword of Trump and his get-rich guru, "My Peter" Navarro. France is so mad with its so-called trusted allies (the US, UK and Australia) for colluding in "stealing" its Australian submarine deal and workers' jobs that it accused the two main culprits (the US and UK) of the new Anglo-Saxon club (AUKUS) of "stabbing in the back". In addition, it cancelled a Friday night gala at its sprawling compound in Washington, D.C. A French official confirmed to CNBC that the occasion, which was slated to commemorate the 240th anniversary of the Battle of the Capes, will now not happen at the embassy in Washington. It also immediately recalled its ambassadors to the US and Australia.
Like its "rebellious son" (America), the UK is/was a warlike nation. In its long history of conflicts with continental Europe, the British Empire had waged many wars against other European countries. In particular, the English/British fought many wars against the French for more than seven centuries (between 1066 and 1815). The latest dispute over Australia’s nuclear submarine deal has reminded France of its bitter rivalry and conflicts with the UK.
By the way, one of my friends who had attended a French-language class told me that his French teacher used to brag about the high standard of French food. When asked about English food, the French teacher remarked: "Is that food for humans?"
Referring to the word "sale" in English shops, the French teacher laughed: "That word means ‘dirty' in French, so everywhere you can see 'dirtiness' in English shops!"
''Yes, over $70bn each and every year will be lost; about $4,000 per capita per year.'' Australia has a current population of about 26 million. If you multiply that by $4,000 you get a total amount of $104 million. How does that equate to $70 billion ?
Yes, over $70bn each and every year will be lost; about $4,000 per capita per year. But now Morrison will have to buy ridiculously over-priced subs from the Great Satan and poodle. France's contract was for $90bn. Don't be surprised when the bill for the nukilar subs comes in FAR, FAR, FAR higher.
For Latin American countries to supply to China primary resources such as iron ore and coal, the transport prices, reliability and exchange rates ( which would affect prices ) would prohibit such trade. That is clearly the reason why these items have been imported from Australia for many years and the dependency upon that trade partnership.

Australia is not the only country that can meet China's needs; Latin American countries can fill the gap. Get yourself informed; China is not dependent on Australia; there are many countires wanting to do business with China, the world's second largest economy!
''Australia has profited immensely from years of trade with China, one of its biggest trading partners, if not THE biggest trading partner'' In case you didn't know, trade goes both ways: the huge amounts of imports of iron ore, coal, gas, cotton, wool etc. have enabled China's economy to progress rapidly and to turn such raw materials into domestic and export manufactured goods, and energy needs. If it decided not to import Australian beef, wine, dairy products, wheat, seafood etc. it would indeed be literally ''biting the hand that feeds it''.
Australia has profited immensely from years of trade with China, one of its biggest trading partners, if not THE biggest trading partner, yet the Aussies have decided to gang up with Uncle Sam to build and launch nuclear subs right in China's backyard, posing a military threat to its largest trade partner. The Aussies are biting the hand that feeds them! What a lousy partner, never to be trusted! China should take its business elsewhere, like buy iron ore, beef, wine etc etc from Latin American countries who are good friends of China! The Aussies are ungrateful blokes, they don't deserve China's patronage!
France should know better after their second in command of energy and transport giant Alstom spent two years in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island prisons and the backroom battles that influenced his case because he was dealing with a Chinese energy company...Mind you, Alstom has been present in China for almost 60 years....
Can't help it but Huawei’s chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou comes to my mind...
The Alstrom investigation came as U.S. conglomerate General Electric sought to acquire Alstom’s energy operations in the US...
“Le Piège Américain,”or “The American Trap,” by Frédéric Pieruccia is telling you all about America's evilness...
