Did France's Secrecy Cause a Nuclear-Sub Collision?

On TIME:

A collision between a British nuclear-powered submarine carrying multiple nuclear warheads and a French nuclear submarine armed with a similar payload may have been the result of lack of communication between France and NATO nations, according to a former British submarine commander whose revelations were partially corroborated by an official at the French navy.

Maybe it's time all the NATO nations, including the United States, just cut France off. Next time somebody invades France, let France handle it—or, if history is any evidence, let France not handle it.

Just don't come crying to Uncle Sam.

Edit: Just look at the French military history. Anyone still not sure whether France as an "ally" is a bad thing?
