France just recalled their ambassador to both US and AU..

the Frenchies are peeved, they thought they had the contract to provide nuclear subs to Aussies and as it turns out the US and the brits have now stolen the contract..

You girls need to get your stories straight. Do you want Biden to be tough against China or not?

This was a smart strategic move and adds strength to an ally in China’s backyard. France is pissed because they lost a big contract to the U.S. Isn’t that a good thing? France relies on us too much to be mad for long.

Ever been to France?

Compared to it's neighbors, it's dirty, things don't work and people are rude. (generalities here).

You want stuff that works, don't buy anything with "made in France" on it.

You want some over priced, defective crap - sure, the Made in France products are for you.

Credit where credit is due. Well done by the WH on this one. Being a Conservative .. it’s irritated me to no end that the Left could not give one atta boy to Trump no matter what he did. Hypocrisy at its highest level.

JB did well on this one. Well played

Trump did a good job with the Middle East deal he brokered and he was mostly responsible for fast tracking the development of the vaccines that many conservatives refuse to use. Oh the irony.

But that doesn’t outweigh his gross incompetence, and his crocked and treasonous actions that should land him in prison or worse.

How much for a nucular sub and can I get it on layaway?

Actually, this is some funny shit in this blog.
If its about projection of power, as gloom guy says, then what difference does it make which sub the chinks are facing? The Murican one got 4 on the floor with fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror? Pretty sure the "shrimp on the barby guys" can handle either make/model.

Anyway, I got a tankjet in the driveway and was hoping to add a sub to my collection.
You guys hear anything, let me know, k?

The Aussies signed Non-proliferation treaty NPT of Nuclear Weapons. So here is my question. If they purchased our nuclear tech to bring nuclear subs, who is building them? Who builds and operate the nuclear sub with a nuclear reactor inside of it?

A nuclear reactor for a SSN or SSBN is above weapons grade. So unless the Aussies quit the agreement, there is almost no chance that they can abide with the NPT.

And if they quit NPT, it gives every other nation in that region another reason to develop their own nukes. Like North Korea, Pakistan and India. Then every freaking nation will have nuclear capability.

Australia is a tiny nation with a big land mass. Its got about the same population as Canada with like 60000 military members. How in the world would they have the resources, manpower, reserves, and tech and most importantly budget to keep this thing going? It cost 90 billion to start, about another 100 billion to finish and another 200 billion to maintain for the rest of the half-life of these reactors and subs.

Additionally, are they going to carry conventional missiles or nuclear capable missiles? If they are conventional, what's the point of having a nuclear reactor in a sub? Even if they can travel far, where are they going to get food supplies and other supplies from if they are in a war? If they are nukes, no one in the world will allow it since it gives rise to Iran getting nukes. If you can, why can't Iran?

And they are so close to New Zealand which is a nuclear free nation. NZ bans all and everything nuclear, how is that going to work since the two are so close?

China deep down is probably ecstatic that Australia is spending all these monies on a useless thing. Aussie's military is too weak and small. Its nation's GDP is too small. South Korea's GDP is 25% more than Australia. Think about that for a second. And SK is directly next to NK, China and Russia and they don't have nuclear capable subs or missiles.

Its a stupid thing for Australia but a GREAT thing for USA and China. We can profit off the Aussies and use them as Cannon Fodder against China. China is currently pissed at the Aussies and they can't wait for the Aussies to spent a huge chunk of their reserves to build on something useless to their national projection. Which nation in the area would care for Australia's military? None. Even Indonesia is casting them aside.

The only true winner is USA. Bidumb did something smart for once for American's military industrial complex. 90 billion usd will create some jobs and taxable income. Australia gov't must be dumber than a rock. They are not high tech but commodity based nation focused on minerals and agriculture products. They have nothing high tech. Meaning everything they produce and sell are replaceable. Pissing off the biggest raw material and agricultural buyer in the world like China is suicidal.

Quick question cause I'm no expert but isn't NPT all about nucular explosive devices?
Does it extend to vehicles powered by nucular reactors?

The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, commonly known as the Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT, is an international treaty whose objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament.[3] Between 1965 and 1968, the treaty was negotiated by the Eighteen Nation Committee on Disarmament, a United Nations-sponsored organization based in Geneva, Switzerland.

Sumbitch!
Read it and weep.
Arguably, we're sharing our subs in order "to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nucular energy", lol.

G'day China!

Pretty sure it's just weapons.
Subs and carriers are all nuke. They don't bother making conventional anymore.
I believe they retired all the CGNs though.

Biden did a great job against China's aggression, which Trump was totally incapable of.

China has an economic power and their technology, and recently, they are strengthening internal pressure which is more and more resembling the cultural revolution of Mao Zedong, while they are expanding their ambition to expand their hegemony with covid-19 vaccine diplomacy to developing countries, and with "Belt and Road Initiative"

If the US doesn't pay attention carefully to what China is doing, it will be the second rate country in the near future (that is why Republican's attempt to Authoritarianism is such an annoying factor).

French becoming angry sounds more like Anglo-Saxon vs Celts, not much difference from sunni vs shiite.

"doesn’t outweigh his gross incompetence, and his crocked and treasonous actions that should land him in prison or worse."

That can apply to Joe at this point as well. The sub deal is a no Brainerd and therefore right up his alley. I can't think of a single person that would not have done "whatever it takes" for this sale.

I get that Bidwn has his supporters ...what I don't get is how you deal with the anxiety waking up every morning wondering what the Biden admin has done today that you are going to have to support cus he is not the other guy.

France did recall their Ambassadors to US and Australia over this so its serious to them.

"If the US doesn't pay attention carefully to what China is doing, it will be the second rate country in the near future"

The US became a 2nd rate country with Biden in office as evidenced by the Afghanistan withdrawal, pipeline shutdown mandates, southern border crisis, inflation...

Let me get this straight. A bunch of you are whining because Biden makes a deal with one ally that pisses off another ally over how to handle a mutual enemy and the orangutan POTUS before drops us from the Paris Agreement that 200 countries had signed onto and that was just peaches and cream while we are seeing fires, drought, floods, and hurricanes just in this country to the extent that we have never seen before and you think Biden is the worse of the two presidents? Meth is not good for you. It rots your teeth as well as your brain.

Rawdogger you clearly missed my point ...and then devolve into insults because the truth of my post hit home. I'd like nothing more than our economy to be strong have employment back at 2019 levels and Covid over with. But facts are facts the situation economically, pandemically, and politically is just as bad under Biden as it was under Trump...it would help to be realistic but that's just not something you are capable of soooo with that ...fuck off.
