While Fox News and the French government busily act out hammy scenes from a Shakespeare tragedy as best to convey the agony of betrayal, I wonder if true Republicans see the irony of it.
Australians sought a product, they put forward a bid to which the French won. As pointed out, the submarines are yet built or delivered six years into the contract. Meanwhile a better offer for advance hardware becomes available, one that'll allow the country to better protect itself and to help curb Chinese aggression and expansion. Without surprise, they canceled the contract and will pay a 'relatively' small amount of damages.
The irony, isn't a free market what Republicans have crowed about all along? That without regulation, a market will naturally find its own balance with supply and demand? Why shouldn't the Australian government be lauded for exercising it's national interests to exit an unfulfilled contract to obtain a vastly superior product?
Sad days for the Republican party, truly its lost its way.

That was all that was available at the time. They approached the United States some six month's ago according to reports about acquiring better models and our country paired with the United Kingdom to come up with this deal. Australians are swearing up and down the French were made aware of the deal. Where our national security interests are at stake, I too could care less about the hurt feels.
Pretty unfortunate. Add that to the other 71,000 civilian causalities of the war, also unfortunate. An unavoidable cost of conflict, fortunately the middle east can go stew in it's own juices for a while. America just peaced out. Not gonna lose any sleep over it either.Tell us how Democrat it is to blow up an Afghan ally and a bunch of children?
I don't think any conservative gives two fucks what the French think. It's really just all the crow you have to eat for yelling 4 years straight how Trump was terrible with foreign leaders, and in 9 months our new one has gotten the entire allied forces from Afghanistan pissed, and a bunch of white flag waving socialists.
