I am not a Biden apologist by any means, but who gives a crap about France doing this? They are a pseudo ally, at best, to keep tourist dollars from US coming in and to remain part of NATO.

Probably the little white women crying about our Allies hating us for 4 years.

Well, over the past 30 years, there has been a struggle between the old Gaullist school of foreign relations and a younger group that was more open to firmer relationships with the Anglosphere. More express defense pacts, other than NATO, were a result of the younger school beginning to win out in some ways. The proposed deal with Australia was also part of one of these pacts. Our interest in promoting this younger school was wanting France’s help with things such as European immigration issues, terrorism, particularly in Africa, and a more firm stance against China.
The way this was handled is embarrassing for that group of more pro-Anglo French, and is being exploited by the Gaullists.
It’s not such a good thing, but hey, I guess we get to make fun of the French, so there’s that.
