France has said it is recalling its ambassadors in the US and Australia for consultations, in protest at a security deal which also includes the UK.
The French foreign minister said the "exceptional decision" was justified by the "exceptional gravity" of situation.
The alliance, known as Aukus, will see Australia being given the technology to build nuclear-powered submarines.
The move angered France as it scuppered a multibillion-dollar deal it had signed with Australia.

They ****ed up their relationship with the UK on shared technology(Thales a French company were involved in the design)on their next generation AC Carriers too, they’ll be lucky to have a hull replacement for the CDG by 2038, the Calamity Jane of forward planning [emoji2357]

Nous, les Brittaniques,leur montrerons que nous governors les vagues d'en bas comme d'en haut...don't you agree??
Too bad. Each day when I hear about the poverty in the world, the undefinanced health care, the lack of affordable housing, young peoples poor mental health, the environmental destruction, the people fleeing from way, I think to myself: we need some more nuclear-powered submarines.

Indeed, some cynics may accuse old Macron of using this as an early re-election posturing against the global big boys.

You're not getting any, so less of the 'we'!

Slightly more relevant than the UK, in terms of military power.
I was thinking "we" as a global society... but yes you are correct.

Am I supposed to be waving the flag now the UK has decided to enter into in a military alliance without local allies to prove what BIG players we are on the world stage ?
I shall go down the beach and yell victorious obscenities and fart in the general direction of froggy land. We've joined the cool gang. Like one of those friendless fat boys that tags along.
Still, whatever gives you a hard on.

The BBC tonight linked this to the coming French presidential election - a move to turn the blow of the loss of the contract into a tough guy positive.

what you and many fail to understand is the money flows to jobs, in manufacturing, R&D, supply chains, gives young people prospects. thats why France is pee'd, thousands of jobs will be moving from France to US/UK.
