If this is so, well, thank fuck for that. Such a bad, expensive idea. One good thing to come from Trump is a severe loss of faith in the US, long overdue.

    It would be kinda funny if we crawled back to the French, begged them to build us some subs, and then the French tell us to "Mange de la merde!"

    @No1The French wouldn't say that. They'd say whatever is French for "Sign here!"We'd then pay them a few more BILLION dollars, and the French would wait a week or two for another policy reversal.At the rate we're going, we'll end up buying our subs from China...@Davriellelouna

    nationalsecurityjournal.org looks like a propaganda outlet.

    How do you even check the bonafides of a random site like this?
