France cutting its own throat?

I doubt France believes they could be a target of Russian aggression in the next twenty years.
I doubt Russia will be in a position to attack France in the next twenty years.
In twenty years those ships will be outdated.
France would like to get paid now.

This seems like a relatively sound decision on the part of France.
 
French technology.....when one of the native dishes is a sausage with the fecal matter left in it I find it hard to take seriously ANYTHING France does with respect to the military...good wine though...and the '96 Dom Rose' outstanding.
 
Seriously, France and, to a much lesser extent, Germany (he, the black Yellow gouverment should be a bit more transatlantic) try to get a bit out of the USAs midly suffocating embrace, making friends with Russia (and Russia usually makes a point of honouring alliance and guarantees).
Long Term, Russia plans to "Finlandize" the baltics, Georgia and the Ukraine/Belorussia. This does not touch French interests at all.
