They did make it political. But yes.... if we gave them more than we had, they might have looked the other way.Agreed, but that was not about human rights or poltics, that was pure greed. If we had a bigger spend then India and were putting a lot more money on the table they would have done the same to the Indians.
Can't trust a greedy bastard like that to not rip you off at some point.
France is the most greedy and corrupt nation on earth. Sure it won't show up on any survey (because they are European... gasp) ... but they are.
When we needed some very special machines to simulate the force of an atomic blast.. cold testing .. or whatever it's called.. we needed some very fast measuring instrumentation that can never be bought on the market. I believe we made those instruments but the wiring had to be extra special to send the signal to the instruments before it got vaporized by radiation.
Enter the son-in-law of some minister of France who was "ghar-damad" (husband who lives with the in-laws... lowest of the low)... and tired of the lack of respect shown to him by his father-in-law.
So he sold us wires and electronics left over from the French nuclear tests in Polynesia. So he could become rich and move out of his in-laws' house and show them the finger. Which he did.
This is all detailed in the book. "Long Road to Chagai".
France is no better than a street hooker.
