  1. It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but Google’s AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).

  2. > France has said it was “betrayed”, “stabbed in the back” and “deceived” over Australia’s decision to dump a French-backed submarine project worth up to $A90bn (£48bn).

    Seriously, what allies use these words? France has turned into such a pathetic country under Macron.

    Hope Australia told the manchild to go fuck himself.

  3. I remember when France wasn’t perceived as a small whinging nation, but a powerful European nation.

    Macron has certainly made sure he won’t take over from Merkel.

  4. The way Australia dealt with this was horrible and does make them untrustworthy for long-term projects. This is expected from the LNP though such as their debacle with the NBN.

    The deal was 5 years in the work and had gone from an expected cost of AUD$55B to AUD$90B and growing. Likely due to the LNPs incompetence again.

    The UK and US are now getting involved in the submarine deal with Australia instead and I’m sure we are likely to see costs balloon as LNP muppets pocket money on wasteful ideas.

  5. Either this post has been taken over by anglos or Europeans actually take the party of non-EU countries over EU countries.

    One of those is more worrying than the other.

  6. It’s crazy how no one understand that it is just a game of negociations. Of course France will overplay the “you betray us” card for other negociations on which it can take a piece of cake.
    Any countries will do the same, any company.
