        I mean you continuously preach “3rd way” and “European sovereignty” in an open attempt to defy the American world order and are surprised this happened?

        "an open attempt to defy the American world order "- Australia was super-unhappy that France was dicking around, the promised subs coming years late (if ever) and many billions over budget.And also outdated (noisy)design. Aus. exercised its option to cancel with good reasons.

        I’m starting to suspect defense contractors are the “power behind the throne” of the current French government.

        Sorry but we are not in the US where everything is privatised... The company behind the contract is owned by the French State.

        French presidential election in April, they have to condemn it loudly or they will be blamed once the layoffs at the shipbuilders start.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Sometimes all it takes a straw to break the camel's back. It remains to be seen if this is merely blowing of steam the French way or the start of the end of some transatlantic structures. There has been plenty of irritation over the last years. Not just under Trump or now biden.

        It is about time the French stood up BTW. Also, way more than the UK, France is an Indo-pacific power with territories in both the Pacific and Indian oceans. One of them, Nouvelle-Calédonie, right offshore of Australia...
