This is the video of French journalists talking to John Kerry over the Aussie sub deal.
19 minute interview. At some point, they want Kerry to explain how he met with President Biden. So Kerry says that Biden couldn't understand the whole issue.
Then Kerry says.....Biden didn't know anything about the deal. For about 30 seconds, Kerry is basically saying that Biden was totally in the dark, and never told anything until the deal was 'done'.
At that point, Kerry realizes he has said something that will shake the French, and the rest of Europe....Biden sold nuke subs but knew nothing about what was going on.
After this? It's kinda funny....the French leadership will stand and talk about the interview this weekend. Future discussions? Why talk to Biden? He's obviously not in charge.
The remaining 3 years with Biden? He's just a 'living statue'.....not a actual figure. You don't need to drag the guy into problems....he can't do much for resolutions.
If you were looking for a reason to downsize the importance of NATO....this is probably a good starting point.
