🇺🇸🇫🇷 The White House claims that France was aware of the imminent plans to announce a defense pact between the US, UK and Australia.
The first task of the newly minted 'AUKUS' mission is to enhance Australia with a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines, which will push aside Canberra’s $66 billion deal with Paris to provide it with 12 state-of-the-art conventionally-powered attack submarines.
One former French ambassador to the US called the move a stab in the back.

Whoops, Joe Biden seemed to forget the Australian PM's name during AUKUS announcement. "I want to thank.. umm… that fella down under. Thank you, pal," he said referring to one of his "faithful and capable partners" from Australia. His name is Scott Morrison…

😜 Scott Morrison has laughed off the awkward moment when Joe Biden forgot his name by saying "it happens to the best of us".
Asked if Mr Biden had texted him to say sorry, Mr Morrison said: "There's no need for that, it's all good".
"He actually does refer to me privately when we speak as pals, it's a phrase that he uses a fair bit, I suppose that's mate in similar ways", he added.

General Mark Milley downplayed the scale of the George Floyd protests in May 2020, claims the new tell-all book “Peril” by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
The journos write that General Milley convinced then-President Donald Trump that the protesters were not “burning America down”. He reportedly argued that demonstrations had only erupted in two cities and that the number of protesters rarely exceeded 300.
These protests would later grip almost half of the country for months, with many of them descending into riots and looting.

♟😡 Chess legend Nona Gaprindashvili is suing Netflix over her portrayal in the “Queen’s Gambit” series.
In the final episode, the announcer of a chess tournament says, “There’s Nona Gaprindashvili, but she’s the female world champion and has never faced men”.
The real Gaprindashvili blasted this line as “grossly sexist and belittling”. Her lawsuit says that by 1968 – the year the episode was set – she had competed against at least 59 men, “including at least ten Grandmasters of that time”.
“In a story that was supposed to inspire women by showing a young woman competing with men at the highest levels of world chess, Netflix humiliated the one real woman trail blazer who had actually faced and defeated men on the world stage in the same era”, the lawsuit reads.
