France recalls ambassadors from U.S. and Australia following announcement of sub

old dog 2:
This was done simultaneously with the formation of the AUKUS.  The agreement covers key areas such as artificial intelligence, cyber warfare, underwater capabilities, and long-range strike capabilities. It also includes a nuclear component, possibly limited to the United States and the United Kingdom, on nuclear defense infrastructure.The agreement will focus on military capability, separating it from the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance that also includes New Zealand and Canada.

The French subs were to be conventional, the American ones nuclear.  In addition the French deal was plagued by delays and cost overruns.

--- Quote ---White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki attempted to walk back a statement by presidential climate envoy John Kerry which claimed President Joe Biden "had not been aware of what had transpired" following a submarine deal with Australia that upset the French.

"Of course he was aware of the French being upset," Psaki said in response to a question on the matter from Fox News' Peter Doocy. "He of course was aware, the president, of the French being displeased about the deal with the Australians. John Kerry also speaks regularly to the French as part of his role as the climate envoy. He's someone who also served as Secretary of State."

When's Kerry gonna be fired for saying the quiet part out loud?

Oh, wait. There is no accountability in the Gropey Joe administration. Only lies, half-truths, and lots of intimidation tactics.

C'mon, man!  :lmao:
