Same. Also once you know and understand Franceβs history and militaryβ¦. You just donβt fuck with them.
Fuck yes, France.
Well this year is going just smoothly.
Better get that bug-out bag ready. Remember iodine tablets.
I mean if Canada/France/the World want to get rid of him, I'm not gonna bat an eye? Just saying.
Current timeline feels like one alternative Red Alert timeline, where alongside of Hitler, Stalin also got erased from history, and now Russia and the US have turned fascistic.
Red Alert has predicted the future, the presedency of the US is controlled by a russian
And Putin didn't even need Yuri to do it
There were some people wishing that stalin would join forces with hitler to take over the world and not separating shortly after.
We are in the echo of that timeline.
Time for Germany to upgrade and build more submarines.
Never have I been more pleased to see a foreign navies nuclear attack sub in my nations waters.
(odd times)
France coming to save America once again!
This isnβt a show of force, itβs a demonstration for Canada who is planning to buy a number of these submarines from France.
Regardless, it's presence makes a statement that Canada is not alone.
Though I'd be cool if it was stationed at Miquelon for a few months.
They don't need attack subs. They need boomer subs. At this point, Canada needs a nuclear deterrent. And I say that as an American who would be in the cross hairs of said nuclear deterrent. Canada should contract with the French for protection under their umbrella until they can build some of their own. The lesson of Ukraine should be that nukes protect small nations from fascist larger ones. Canada could easily end up like Ukraine. It's not like fascists can't find a casus belli. Putin was "restoring Russian glory" or some such. Trump would be "finishing the American Revolution" or some other bullshit.
Please, Canada, from a friend of yours to the south, do not take this threat lightly. No one is going to be able to save you if the US decides to invade. The same oceans that protect you will prevent your rescue. The only hope Canada will ever have of being able to militarily protect its borders from the US is a credible nuclear deterrent.
Just please, don't harden your hearts while you build these weapons of destruction. Don't close your doors to refugees from the US. As someone who is on the regime's enemies list, hopping across the Canadian border and begging for asylum is the last chance I might have if things really go bad.
You're right, thanks for adding context. I'm immediately suspicious when a picture is posted with no accompanying news article, and my search wasn't turning up any articles, only social media links.
Article is about selling nuclear powered subs. Canada doesn't need these boondoggles for defense against US, because the mission capability is being months at sea.
Australia watching on with regret.
right?! gawwwwwwd weβre so fucking captured
nuclear subs always give me gundam carrier ship vibes
France manages to get a sub to us before the UK even deigns to comment. That says it all. Merci beacoup!
Look here sonny Jim, Daddy's always watching, Mummy might show up first for a bit of comfort and that, but Daddy'll be here when you need him.
JT was just in France as one of his last acts as PM. Mere days later this bad boy shows up in a Halifax harbour. π€π€π€ Merci a la belle France π«π·π€π¨π¦
Vive la France!
Bonjour!
Hijacking the top comment to let people know this isn't in response to any American threats, this is Naval Group, a French naval defense company, showing off their submarine because Canada is looking to spend 60 billion on twelve submarines. The plans for this purchase were publicly announced on July 10, 2024.
Here's a French news article about the submarine, seeing as I couldn't seem to find any sources in English.
Could have imagined this happening as little as 3 years ago.
An ally sending a nuclear deterrent into our waters as a message/warning to the US. This normally happens to countries like Iran or North Korea
Would a french submarine wear its hat like this:
or like this:
You should cross post this to non credible defense. They'd love it.
