Dear ACC friends,
As most know I always make the distinction between a nation's elites and a nation's people...I do apply the biblical perceptions, that such distinctions are akin to "clay" and "iron." The clay being humanity (the people) and the iron, being Roman law (the state,) the inflexible rules of the state...of an empire. The rod of iron, of Rome.
So I will suggest that I take sides where France is concerned. I side with the people of France and that great nation, born of Gaul. My contentions are centred upon France's elites, including the administration of President Macron.
French culture, the people, the fine cheeses; camembert, brie and St Agur are absolutely unique to France...I admire the quality. I have no issue with France itself, nor her cultured people.
So those educated people of France, with a long culture and tradition, must be very concerned that their President, seems to be edging towards giving away France's permanent seat on the UN security council, one of the "big five" nations; Russia, America, Great Britain, France & China. This security council status has been in place since the UN was founded, back in the late 1940s..Each of these nations on the council, who can veto decisions of other members, as well as the non-permanent members (who are rotated,) and make up the sum parts of the UNSC.
There are rumours, in circulation, that Macron seeks more than just an EU army. He seeks to relinquish France's special status, within the UNSC and hand it, instead, to Brussels...The European Union. A very interesting proposal, which has as many holes in it, as Swiss cheese..Especially when one considers that the EU is neither a nation, nor is it sovereign...As per the definitions provided UN members..Five sovereign states, are supposed to comprise membership of said council....
If this absurd suggestion even slightly gained traction I'm sure the good people of France will take it as another signal, to protest..in their particularly patriotic manner of doing so...
"Vive la République...!!"
Selamat kasijaram zau.. (Sirian for “be blessed in the love and joy of spirit…!”) 🙏

This naval power will permit the formation of an Anglospheric Union, spanning three continents.

Britain is already developing the next generation of nuclear submarines. SSNR. The Royal Navy's next generation sub, costing £234 million...
SSNR stands for "Submersible Ship Nuclear." Noting that most submarines are described as boats...This is a ship, that submerges..
Astute class British submarines possess 38-torpedo sized weapons, including Tomahawk cruise missiles and Spearfish heavy torpedoes...
They never need to refuel and last around 25-years, before decommissioning.

Going war gaming, or war, alongside France, is like going on a duck hunting expedition alongside a Frenchman/duck hunter and the French hunter insists that he take his gun and accordion (large musical instrument) with him, so he can play tunes at the river bank, while spotting for ducks...lol

India is determined to beef-up her military prowess, to challenge Chinese expansionism and rightly so...The Japanese are in a similar situation and understandably, seek to venture further in their security, than the US-Japanese co-operation treaty, since 1945..
Will the Quad and AUKUS join together....? I will suggest not, as one is a loose partnership of friendly nations, the other a high level military alliance, sharing intelligence at 5-eyes clearance, including the most advanced military technology on the planet...(apart from that within the planet, which is of an even higher order..)
Please view the vid, which is an Indian take on AUKUS & Quad...

Actually I hope they keep out of the Pacific...They would just get in the way of serious military programs there...
