>not committing nuclear subs
Memed again.
During the cold war if Western Germany or Benelux would have been attacked by the USSR, Charles De Gaulle clearly stated France would use nuclear weapons.
Recently Macron proposed the French nuclear deterrence for Europe.
>not participating in Iraq
France and Germany had more direct economic interests than the US in Iraq.
>inventing some bullshit about an EU army
Considering the current political trend in the US, it would be stupid to go all-in on NATO, especially considering the future of the US demographic.

>reminder without immense pressure they would have given mistral to russia
Nothing would have been given, it was a purchase. The invasion of Ukraine in 2014 halted it.
>without AUKUS they would still be scamming australians and providing no subs.

<According retired Australian navy admiral Peter Briggs, the Aukus submarine plan is flawed, and the only chance Australia has to sustain its submarine fleet is to buy French vessels after all."
<"The reality is that the US is unable to build enough submarines," Briggs told RFI.
