Russia Responds To French President’s Renewed Attempt To Sell Ships To Moscow

Two months after French president Hollande, under heavy pressure from NATO, decided to scrap a deal to deliver two Mistral helicopter carriers to Russia which were sold to Egypt instead (the same Egypt whose foreign reserves are plummeting, whose fiscal house is in total disarray, which just devalued its currency, and which could only afford the $1.1 billion purchase if the CIA handed its military dictator the cash via envelope), the same French President announced on Wednesday that he “expects to sell new warships to Russia in the near future.”
Quoted by AP during a visit to the shipyard of Saint-Nazaire in western France, Hollande said that “Things went well with Russia, which has agreed to cancel the contract. And I even think we’ll get partnerships for new ships.” He didn’t specify whether they could be military ships. More from AP:
Hollande came aboard one of the warships that was originally named the Vladivostok, in reference to the Russian port. The inscription on the hull has been erased and replaced by grey paint.
