In an interview with French television, U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry helpfully explains that President Biden simply had no idea that the U.S.-U.K.-Australia deal on submarines would irk the French government, and “had not been aware of what had transpired.”
Interviewer, surprised: You told Joe Biden that it was not the right-
Kerry: He asked me. He said, ‘what’s the situation?’ and I explained exactly, uh… He was he had not been aware of that, he literally, literally had not been aware of what had transpired. And I don’t want to go into the details of it, but suffice it to say, that that the president… My president is very committed to, um, strengthening the relationship and making sure that this is a small event of the past and moving on to the much more important future.
Golly, who could have possibly predicted that John Kerry would go rogue, act like he’s the smartest guy in the room, and tell an anecdote where the president comes across as a clueless, oblivious novice?
Remember, questioning the 78-year-old president’s ability to remember what he’s been told in briefings, or handle the pressures of the job, is absolutely unacceptable, or at least that is what I keep getting told.
You were right to cancel you NR subscription...see my post #41
The “Australian - France submarine “contract” IS NOW a Communist Chinese war (in words and trade and social networking propaganda!) across the globe! It is NOT a US-Australia “deal” in anything but the fact that, once Australia cancelled its perpetually-failing, ever-longer-delayed, ever-more-expensive contract to build diesel electric (short-range) subs with France , the ONLY people who can deliver long range (nuclear) submarine enginerooms and reactors are the US and UK.
Yes. If Australia told the Biden State dept what they planned, China would immediately have used Biden-Hunter-Pelosi-Fienstein-etc-etc-etc to get the deal cancelled. Probably by invoking some invented “nuclear-proliferation” scheme by claiming the Aussies would develop nuclear bombs from the Navy reactor fuel.
Note carefully that long-range,long-duration subs like nuclear are the ONLY threat to Chinese occupation and naval blockade of the entire Asian coastline around from China through the Straits to India and Pakistan.
Some have come around, and some have doubled-down on the stupid....
Maybe James Taylor can weigh in...
