I am a tad confused here. Why would Russia, which has been building ships for centuries, buy a French made warship? What is it that the Russians can’t do that the French can?
The French have always been, well...French.
The French keep referrring to potential financial penalties if they dont deliver on time. penalties to whom? The Ruskies? I’d laugh at them and tell them to sue me as soon as they quit invading neighbors. the fact that they’ve already paid for the carrier makes it double delicious. i’d reneg on the whole deal and tell them to put it on my tab and laugh. do you think Putin wouldnt do the same if the situation was reversed?
