Biden Angers China AND France!
The US has offered to sell nuclear submarine technology to Australia. The obvious adversary which this is aimed at is China. Plus nuclear weapons on the same subs.
Why? To prevent China from blocking trade routes. China is not blocking trade routes, shows no sign of blocking trade routes and denies they want to block trade routes. In fact, China previously traded heavily with Australia.
The most logical response from Australia would be to either continue trading with China or just stop, which would not cost a penny for weaponized ships. Instead, they choose to indebt themselves for decades for ships which they don’t even currently have the knowledge to operate and which will not be delivered for quite a few years. Ships armed with nuclear weapons..to protect trade routes which are not in danger.
“But China MIGHT block trade routes!”
Keep in mind that the US imposes trade sanctions and embargoes on Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Venezuela and quite a few other countries.
In response to this nuclear submarine deal, China told Australia that they have indeed made themselves an adversary of China.
