French Defense Minister: We will not leave NATO

French claims that Paris is determined to "resolutely respond" to the US-Australia submarine deal are likely to remain statements. Recall that Australia a few days ago withdrew from the agreement with Paris, which provided for the construction of submarines worth about $ 40 billion. Instead, the Australians signed a contract with the United States, on the basis of which Canberra will receive nuclear submarines. Also, the United States, Australia and Britain signed an agreement actually on a new military alliance AUKUS for interaction in the Pacific region. France was left outside the new alliance.

Jean-Luc Melanchon, a member of the French parliament, called in this regard to abandon the opening of a new NATO center in Toulouse and leave the North Atlantic bloc altogether. French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian called the actions of the United States and Australia "de facto betrayal", which cannot remain unanswered.

Today, the head of the French Ministry of Defense, Florence Parley, has already “played back” in terms of official rhetoric. According to her, Paris is not going to leave NATO.

There is no need to take hasty steps, Parley said. French Defense Minister:

And what, after that we should slam the door and leave NATO? I don't think this is advisable. We will not do this.

According to Parley, France will approach the situation "carefully". However, the head of the French defense department nevertheless reproached Washington for the fact that the United States is doing a lot "against a normal dialogue in NATO."

Interestingly, Parley delivered her speech to French parliamentarians. And Florence Parley, at the same time, received sharp criticism for the fact that the official authorities generally allowed the possibility of partners ignoring French interests.

One of the deputies:

You assumed that France was actually pushed further away from the Indo-Pacific region.

At least she was a practitioner by profession, like the recent German Ministry of Defense with a very necessary specialization for the military - a gynecologist. Such an opponent immediately instills fear and horror.

Well .... Predictable. The eggs of the presidents of France in recent years have not been distinguished by their strength, therefore they are kneeling in front of the United States, and they are afraid to meow to the detriment of France.

yeah, a solid contract floated away

[Roman1970_1]

Here is a mistake, initially it was 66 billion. But then the price grew and the terms were shifted

Maybe. I scooped from interfax:
\ A contract worth 50 billion Australian dollars ($ 39 billion) for the construction of 12 Barracuda-class submarines will be executed by the French shipbuilding company DCNS. The French concern is adapting its 5000-ton nuclear submarine Barracuda for Australia into a diesel-electric version. The new submarine, which will be called the Shortfin Barracuda, will have a displacement of 4,5 tons. \

40 yards is the base configuration, and 66+ for the krypton headlights, pedal caps, radios and leather seats.

French Claims That Paris Is Determined to "Resist Strongly" to the US-Australia Submarine Deal
The answer will probably be published in "Charlie Hebdo", for more courage is not enough.

This is called "Putting a Good Face on a Bad Game." I hope that after everything that has happened, including the refusal of the frogs to finish building the Mistrals for us, there will be a marked decrease in those willing to deal with them.

The game may not be over yet, it is still planned - "Therefore, our partners decided, on our initiative, as well as on the initiative of the FRG, to revise the strategic concept of the alliance" ... the topic of EU strategic autonomy will be raised again ...

Of course they will not leave NATO - because they are pissed off! America threw them 80 billion, and they wiped themselves off and fell on their knees in front of America, but how suddenly Uncle Sam will be offended!

The striped ones don't care about their allies. The main thing for them is to fill their pockets. They know very well that the French will not trample against them, and no one will trample in NATO against their will, and so they do what is beneficial to them. Well, the French will wipe themselves out after such a spit and shut up. All Europe is subordinate to America and this is a fact. And no one is going anywhere.

[Seld]

Will not come out - GREAT news! The more there are such members in the alliance ("alliance"), the more, as a result, the number of members, the MORE PROFITABLE !!!! For the existence of such an alliance, you also have to pay extra !!!! Members .... It will goraaaaaazdo worse if, with the withdrawal from the alliance of individual individuals, order begins to be restored within this organization. There is a law: the more people, the more chaos. And vice versa...

Big politics is teeming with such paradoxes. There are a lot of examples from history!

[Brturin]

So already the state press says - there is no agreement among the comrades ... and they found an example in Lithuania ...

It became the last European country to receive a full dose of insults and bullying from Beijing. The reason is that Vilnius has allowed Taiwan, which China considers its "runaway" province, to open an office in Vilnius. In retaliation, Beijing recalled its ambassador to Lithuania, limited trade with it, and generally tightened pressure on this Baltic republic. The United States immediately offered its support to Lithuania. And what about the EU? The member states of the European Union do not have this confidence. After all, many of them are active in doing business with China - the largest trading partner, for example, Germany - and believe that Lithuania could behave more diplomatically.

They are put on cancer, have no petroleum jelly, and they smile and say that everything is fine. Is this how you need to hold tight, the French for the Faberge?

[agoran]

Well, what to say?
The Anglo-Saxons really threw a lot of francs.
The francs squealed when Trump set quotas for French wine, and then bam and over a billion shod.
It’s not just money, it’s jobs, subcontractors, income to the budget.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

[Borisych]

What NATO, what are we talking about? Is this the one who, covered in poop, farting fetidly with zeal, skidded from Afgan? Well, yes, they still grunt in it. There is no grunt, you will not live. And they whine, but this is only for Poland. The Balts do not whine. Nothing. They bought the plane together. Didn't buy. But they wanted two. And the French thought NATO was that thing. No, everyone was wrong. NATO is a matter of survival for free of the Brussels rogues, who prefer playing cards of all staff cards. Preferably in Vegas.

Of course they won't. The owner will not allow)))

They didn’t find de Gaulle. They were already returning the ambassador next week. They still had to see the Storage area near Smolensk. And the latter were finished off in the Reichstag.

[alexmach]

It's a pity of course, but what can you do. Maybe it's not evening yet. So far, in Europe, the French and the Germans are practicing exclusively in rhetoric.

You assumed that France was actually pushed further away from the Indo-Pacific region.

And what exactly did they want? frankly speaking, the American proposal with nuclear submarines is much better.

[faiver]

Ehh, I'll have to throw away the popcorn ...

[Evil troll]

Who would doubt that)

[Avior]

You assumed that France was actually pushed further away from the Indo-Pacific region.

rightly accused by the way
The Australians wanted exactly the nuclear submarine, and the French, due to the loading of the industry with their own orders, tried to offer to build first in the usual version, and only then convert them into nuclear ones. They outsmarted themselves.

[Al Asad]

Better not. Again, Russian hackers will be accused.

- "You assumed that France was actually pushed away from the Indo-Pacific region" - that's why Micron turned out to be in your presidency, with such it is easier to rule. We are waiting for what disgusting fascington will throw at the Germans. Divide and rule.

[Citizen simple (almost)]

Something I did not understand some general "negative movement" - what the French themselves, what is in the comments ...

Thesis.
France has offered Australia a contract for DEPL. Then the States broke the contract by offering instead their АSubmarine, plus technology. France could not answer with anything, the contract went to the States. Everything is easier than a steamed turnip - Australia just chose a better deal. What is there to be wise, then ???

Let me remind you that NATO is a military alliance (and to a large extent political) - but never an economic one. That is, the participating countries are not at all obliged to "help" or "yield" to each other in the economic sphere (to which, among other things, the products of the military-industrial complex also belong).
It is clear, of course, that the French are offended that such a tasty contract has left. But here already "just business, nothing personal"... The French cannot offer Australia nuclear submarines and technologies - they will offer others, that's all.

So it's fair, isn't it?

[RaDeVl]

It's just that France is moving farther and farther away from the club of major arms manufacturers and dealers. In the current situation, they cannot offer competitive contracts, but they really want to.

[north 2]

Biden spoke with Macron on the phone yesterday and the French ambassador will return to Washington within three days. In a word, France croaked for a week on the shore and again jumped into the swamp! What exit from there can we talk about, what are you? !!!

[parusnik]

French Defense Minister: We will not leave NATO

... And where should they go after leaving? Not to join the CSTO.

[1536]

The Germans know where everyone is going to go. For example, they have already told the Poles "to go hugging Russia" because Poland, just to think, does not want to become a "general-governorship" again. And they always skillfully dealt with France. Therefore, without NATO, France will again be left one-on-one with Germany. And how it usually ends, reminding, I think, is not necessary.

[Kuz]

France is not threatened. They can go out, or stay - no difference.

[1536]

In France, there is always a personality that does not allow the country and the people to dissolve in the historical flow of time. So it was when Joan of Arc, Napoleon Bonaparte, Charles de Gaulle appeared. And before that, you can fight on the Eastern Front and negotiate with the British, and chop up your nobles, so that the spray flew in different directions. So, while the hero is gone, "the mountain will incessantly give birth to mice." I should look at France in 100 years that way ...

[Reserve buildbat]

Still, I'm wondering: How much was the contract? And then according to various articles, I counted 5 options: 10 yards, 40, 60, 62, 66. Who can clarify?
By the way, in the photo in the article there are such "muscular-headed lads" that I immediately remembered the 90s. Then the same "bulls" "for the roof" from shopkeepers shook money.

Alliance more, Alliance less. The amount does not change.
