A British Royal Navy nuclear submarine and its French equivalent collided while on operations in the Atlantic Ocean earlier this month, defense ministries in Paris and London confirmed Monday.

Apparently someone was on the Wrong side of the road

so.... what happened?

did one sink?

... oh how I wish I could tell some stories right now ...

... anyway, this isn't as uncommon as people think ... most likely just some minor superstructure damage and a lot of public shame ...

... the French will likely try to sue for damages and ask for the equivalent of workman's compensation ...

... the funny part ... France - the Anti-American, Anti-War, Eco-Friendly cowards of the world own and operate Nuclear Powered Submarines armed with Nuclear Warheads ...

... why? All they'll ever do is surface and surrender as soon as they are challenged ...

... nothing but a bunch of **** and cowards ... but they're always the first in line when it comes to a handout or wanting lucrative government contracts in rebuilding Iraq, etc ...

- Le français n'est rien mais un paquet de piqûres lâches

You're not creole, are you, Jimmy? LOL

^ ... no, I'm a Repubican ... 🙂

... and I've never lived in Louisiana either ...

What about Napoleon conquering most of the civilized world. Ended badly but "C'est la vie"

American Revolution.

Statue of Liberty.

Do not curse the great democracies.

We have too few friends already.

America and France are intertwined by history and commonalities.

“Trust the French”

Uh, but keep the powder dry!

^... apparently you didn't notice how they were denouncing our every move with Iraq and basically slapped our faced politically ...

... as for the other mentioned events ... that was nothing more that American lives being lost to save their sorry asses ...

... we should have dismantled and shipped back the statue of liberty ...

... go back and re-read your history books ... and then go back and review how France treated the U.S. before, during and after the Iraq conflict ...

... afterwards ... they were first in line begging for $$$ contracts to help rebuild Iraq ...

... I've been France a few times ... only once since the Iraq war and I was disgusted to see how they treated all of the American tourists at the film festival ... if it wasn't for America - France would have been completely wiped out back in WWII

Behavior comes…, Behavior goes….

Sh#t changes.

I am blessed that I am not measured by my lowest day, mostly we are remembered by or achievements and not our failures. True for people and true for their countries.

Japan was an enemy, very ugly war. Now we are the best of friends. My father fought the yellow bastards (his words not mine) in the South Pacific but after the war he never hated anyone.

Iraq and the entire BS associated with it will be but a blip on the radar screen in twenty years.

Vietnam is now the forgotten war, but it happened.

We have been kissing Chinas ass, can't you taste the dim sum?

France is similar to America. We believe in the same things. We are both fanatically patriotic, and love our respective countries. This cannot be a bad thing.

We need friends.

If not the French, then who?

Vive le France!

Viva America!

I just heard on the news that the crew of each sub did not know it was another sub that it had struck...

I blame whales. We should bring back whaling to make the waters safer for submarines.

GREAT IDEA!!!

How long after the collision did the French surrender?

Kursk redux
