USA to sell Nuclear Subs to Australia

[GoTfan]

Don't kid yourselves guys, this is only happening because ScoMo can't win the next election on anything but "CHINA! CHINA! CHINA!!!!!!!!"

Ummm....

Maybe the US could just supply much higher quality subs at a cheaper cost than France and Australia chose to cut their losses on the T&Cs with their French Contract?

Usually the most obvious explanation is the best--- really is anybody actually arguing about the quality of US vs French Nuclear Subs?

Anybody who believe French will do better---- raise your hand now.

France had been working for 6-8 years and achieved nothing and spent $2Bn. We cut our losses.

The US product is simply better quality and more cost effective.

Time for France to fold up their BBQ and take their bat and ball and go home.
 

We at least owed them the courtest of telling them well in advance.

Instead we told India first and the French only found out an hour before it was formally announced possibly by press.

Macron can go back and look at his empty shipyard with no orders.

France was falling behind on the initial contract and were sacked.

Macron does not want to admit that their work was crap. So he goes on the offensive with smoke and mirrors.

France carry on like perfectionists, but when it comes to military technology, the US are far superior.

I suppose no one's considered the fact that the Collins class will be in its 60s by the time we get the US subs.
