France’s Indo‑Pacific Strategy: https://au.ambafrance.org/IMG/pdf/en_indopacifique_web_cle0f...

Multilateralism was a pillar of that strategy. Australia shifting from an equal partner to a US vassal signals an end to that.

Hmm France doesn’t want strong partners ? :)

If buying American makes one a vassal wouldn’t buying French be the same ?

Working with a similarly powerful partner and working with a major power are not the same balance in relationship.

I don’t see the working with part, I see a buy from France or else part
