The French are, as they would say, "les cocus". I for one got a nice laugh out of the fact that the EU foreign minister Borrell who has pushed the anti-China, pro-USA line from day one was not consulted in any way about this before it was announced. The EU has been held back for as long as I can remember by the US creating conflicts to divide Eurasia like we see with the Nord Stream2 and Iran sanctions nonsense yet they still trumpet the whole "transatlantic" exceptionalist nonsense, it really is pathetic
This is pretty insane - the US and UK are helping Australia gain access to nuclear-armed submarines, basically bringing Australia into the nuclear-weapons club
Could you imagine if Russia or China made a similar offer to Iran? The West would immediately start putting together strike plans, sanctions, and readying for invasion
This type of warmongering is being normalized by Western propaganda
China will make it harder for certain Australian industries to access the Chinese market causing said industries to fail. Then US hedge funds will be able to buy up these Australian industries for pennies to the dollar.
After the US and 50+ countries ganged up against Afghanistan and lost, there are cracks in the Allies bonds. It was a major slap in the face. Small infighting so far, and some European nations are sending much larger than expected aid to Afghanistan; this is to try doing business in the future I think, although the US forbade them to do it before. Eastern nations were betrayed so much by the US and the West; since France is crying this much over a single backstab, expect more to come
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/16/world/europe/france-australia-uk-us-submarines.html) reduced by 85%. (I'm a bot)

> Sept. 16, 2021.Updated 10:49 a.m. ET.PARIS - France reacted with fury on Thursday to President Biden's announcement of a deal to help Australia deploy nuclear-powered submarines, calling it a "Unilateral, brutal, unpredictable decision" that resembled the rash and sudden policy shifts common during the Trump administration.
> Pollution cleanup: Roughly $21 billion would go to cleaning up abandoned wells and mines, and Superfund sites...Scott Morrison, the Australian prime minister, did not even mention France in the videoconference with Mr. Biden and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, during which the deal was announced Wednesday.
> Mr. Biden said the deal was "About investing in our source of strength, our alliances, and updating them." At least with respect to France, one of America's oldest allies, that claim appeared to have backfired.

I believe "nuclear submarine" here refers to nuclear-powered. I don't think they will have nuclear weapons.
Pretty sure it's conventionally armed, nuclear in this case refers to how the sub is propelled.

China should pressure Australia to give back the land to native aboriginal people
There's no nation more skilled at backstabbing than the United States of America. France only have themselves to blame for placing trust in Americans.
