[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] It appears that "next crisis at bat" for Joe is this ongoing "fruck fruck" with France. Now I can't be sure where the French "thought they're coming from". That Australia was going to buy submarines from them with [URL=https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/19/australia/aukus-australia-submarine-deal-concerns-intl/index.html] WWII technology[/URL]? Come on Froggies. If the US considers Australia a sufficiently trusted ally to share with them sub technology that is the most advanced in the world, of course that is where they will go - and the shipping lanes through SE Asia will be all the safer from hostile foreign powers. It's simply a "win-win" for the US and Australia. "Sorry bout that, France". Now what remains is what kind of goods can Australia buy from France to make up that $66B shortfall? Now if Joe still has his supposedly strong foreign policy skills (Afghanistan has me wondering), now would be a time to put them on the table. How about an HSR system along their East coast from Brisbane to Melbourne via Sydney and Canberra? Even though I've scrubbed any thoughts of going down there next year (I probably could get in, COVID notwithstanding, with a dual citizen permanent resident Niece residing near Sydney), the present US$21,000 air fare is, uh, "a bit of a turn off". But with the reports that "Amtrak smells like a rose" when compared with their inter city trains (except the Luxotrains), I think that is an area in which the shortfall could be recovered.
