This isn’t about any special relationship. France has totally botched their nuclear sub deal and the Aussies have finally had enough. It’s about time. What a fiasco it’s been.

It has been a fiasco, and France is out the $90 billion, but France's sub design was conventional, not nuclear.

It has been a fiasco, and France is out the $90 billion, but France's sub design was conventional, not nuclear.

They were trying to use a nuclear sub platform and turn it into diesel-electric. Now they'll get nukes that were designed from the ground up to be nukes. The Aussies should also start thinking about a nuclear weapons program while they're at it. Red China is looking to gobble up the rest of the world and Australia sure as hell can't count on Biden-type administrations anymore.
