State Duma deputy, Member of the International Affairs Committee, Elena Panin, called the creation of Aukus Alliance with the geopolitical humiliation of European allies from the United States. It is reported by RIA Novosti.
According to Panina, the US actions against allies are not only economic damage, but also undermine the authority of these countries on the geopolitical arena. As an example, the deputy led to Washington’s attempt to deprive Germany the opportunity to conduct an independent policy in the Russian direction, as well as the actual extrusion of France from the Asia-Pacific market, where “huge water areas” under its control are still undergoing.
“and this happens against the background of the upcoming presidential elections, where (President of France Emmanuel) Macron would like to present himself to the French as a policy that returns to France the position of the leading power of the world,” Panin noted.
Politician emphasized that the US attitude to European partners as to “Vassalam” will inevitably lead to the fact that Europe will soon take steps aimed at achieving greater independence from the United States in all areas.
September 16, USA, Britain and Australia concluded an agreement on defense partnership. Alliance called Aukus (Australia, United Kingdom, USA). The agreement suggests that three countries will simplify the exchange of information and technological innovations in the field of neural network, cybernetic and underwater systems. In addition, Australia will build submarines for this contract, although a few years ago an agreement concluded an agreement with the French company Naval Group to produce 12 submarines by 90 billion Australian dollars.
On September 17, French Foreign Minister Le Drian called the contract breaking with Canberra “blow to the back”. After that, Paris for the first time in history was withdrawn to consult its ambassadors from the United States and Australia.
