Following the breach of France’s contract with Australia for the construction of twelve conventional propulsion submarines, and the current alliance between France, Egypt, Greece, Cyprus and the United Arab Emirates, where these countries have French high-tech weapons systems, could be considered after the AUKUS alliance that paves the way for France to ally with India which also has high-tech French weapons systems.
India is the country that will make the difference in halting Chinese expansion if it clings to the West.
It is a given that the balances and India’s alliance with Russia will not be disturbed for many reasons. France is currently the ideal country of the West but also the ideal ally of India in levels that exceed those of the simple supplier of high-tech weapons systems.
Both France with its alliances in Europe and the Middle East and India can be closely linked with each other, but without both countries identifying with the AUKUS alliance.
France’s role with India will essentially be balancing for the West, NATO and AUKUS, especially in an area that includes Europe-Mediterranean-Middle East-Indian Ocean where Russia has a strong role and much less China.
