1. France’s former ambassador to the United States has lashed out at the new arms deal reached by Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom, claiming that his country has been “stabbed in the back.”
On Thursday, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced a historic agreement for Australia’s submarine programme to “go nuclear” as part of a defence pact with US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Australia will build a fleet of nuclear submarines as part of AUKUS, a new security alliance between Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom.....
The submarines will be built in Adelaide in collaboration with the UK and the US.
“The world is a jungle. France has just been reminded this bitter truth by the way the US and the UK have stabbed her in the back in Australia. C’est la vie,” French diplomat Gérard Araud said in a tweet....

2. "Stealing" is the favourite catchword of Trump and his get-rich guru, "My Peter" Navarro. France is so mad with its so-called trusted allies (the US, UK and Australia) for colluding in "stealing" its Australian submarine deal and workers' jobs that it accused the two main culprits (the US and UK) of the new Anglo-Saxon club (AUKUS) of "stabbing in the back". In addition, it cancelled a Friday night gala at its sprawling compound in Washington, D.C. A French official confirmed to CNBC that the occasion, which was slated to commemorate the 240th anniversary of the Battle of the Capes, will now not happen at the embassy in Washington. It also immediately recalled its ambassadors to the US and Australia.
Like its "rebellious son" (America), the UK is/was a warlike nation. In its long history of conflicts with continental Europe, the British Empire had waged many wars against other European countries. In particular, the English/British fought many wars against the French for more than seven centuries (between 1066 and 1815). The latest dispute over Australia’s nuclear submarine deal has reminded France of its bitter rivalry and conflicts with the UK.
By the way, one of my friends who had attended a French-language class told me that his French teacher used to brag about the high standard of French food. When asked about English food, the French teacher remarked: "Is that food for humans?"
Referring to the word "sale" in English shops, the French teacher laughed: "That word means ‘dirty' in French, so everywhere you can see 'dirtiness' in English shops!"
