Macron's submarine spat is a reminder of why Australia ought to be getting closer to France, not alienating it

This report is too long to post but well worth reading.
I'm not sure about all the facts posted by the French but I sense something odd
about the comments and their relationship with China.

On this post there are three more links also about the French & Australia
dealings.

And two more of which they feel they were runover by the US and their
relationship with Australia has been somewhat tarnished - by their purchasing
US subs in lieu of the French.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personal note: The French always seemed odd to me and their demeanor.
They say one thing and yet it seems they China relations are questionable.
They are part of NATO but will not war against China should it come to that.
-
I can't say whether it was double dealing or that Australia wanted a more
efficient and reliable Submarine that American has already proven itself
in this category.
-
I think Australia's Navy Officials had some input as to French vr's USA
reliability and experience had much to do with it.
-
They are of NATO but support China in many ways. This is odd.
-
Last comment: I've got nothing personal against the French as my
Mother's - Mother - was a Frenchwoman (Marie Bloom)

My blood line is: French - Swedish - & Italian - but born in the USA
did two tours to Nam - served 12 years and would've done 20
but my wife to be said I'm not waiting another 8 years!
So be - I got out and married her - and still married to her.
She's 100% Italian - you haven't lived until you've married
and full blooded Italian woman - whew its tough - but she's
kept me in line and gave me two daughters.
