For reference, Australia ordered 12 nuclear subs from france, then asked france to remove the nuclear reactors and make them conventional - which delayed the order because France had to wrangle for diesel engines from germany signing its own deals there to acquire them. Now australia has gone behind Frances back, cut up the contract and signed for 8 nuclear subs from US anyway.
France has recalled its ambassadors from aus and US. I won't be surprised to see these French subs go to China or Russia or for france to pull out of Nato for some decades again. It will also seek financial damages for the torn up contract which could come with EU-wide sanctions.

This is what's called shooting yourself in the foot, twice. Australia has gone through three prime minsters and three submarine contract cancellations in the last 10 years. It is indicative of zero independent strategic planning. Probably the most overt foreign controlled puppet regime in the western world. We have no independent foreign policy, this contract cancellation came directly from the white house.
