Sour grapes. Every nation you mentioned rejected Rafale as overpriced, old technology and has preferred F-35. Only nation that buy Rafale are the ones not offered F-35. Now that is FACT.
Everything you said is your sorrow.

UAE says French fighter jets no substitute for US F-35
The head of the UAE's air force sought to clarify comments by France's President Emmanuel Macron last week.
Rafale is not a substitute for F-35 so there goes.
Good morning!

The issue with Huawei 5G technology remains.
And you may now add another one : the purchase of chinese jets. Even if it is only trainers, they will be used on par with the rest of the UAE fleet...
Germany to buy 35 Lockheed F-35 fighter jets from U.S. amid Ukraine crisis
-Reuters
March 14, 20229:03 AM PDT
BERLIN, March 14 (Reuters) - Germany will buy 35 U.S. F-35 fighter jets to replace its ageing Tornado, it said on Monday, announcing a first big defence deal since Chancellor Olaf Scholz pledged a 100-billion-euro upgrade to the military in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The move appeared to be part of a tectonic shift in German security policy, including a pledge to reach NATO's 2% target for defence spending, after years of accusations that Germany was too dovish towards Moscow in compensation for its Nazi past. read more
"After looking thoroughly into all available options, I decided to initiate the purchase of F-35 aircraft as replacement for the Tornado in the role of nuclear sharing," Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht said in a statement.

The Tornado is the only German jet capable of carrying U.S. nuclear bombs, which are stored in Germany, in case of a conflict. read more But the German air force has been flying the Tornado since the 1980s, and Berlin is planning to phase it out between 2025 and 2030.
As a replacement, the F-35 offers unique opportunities for cooperation with NATO allies and other European partners alike, Lambrecht said, referring to the fact that many other nations have ordered the stealth jet built by Lockheed Martin (LMT.N).
A German defence source told Reuters in early February that Berlin was leaning toward purchasing the F-35 but a final decision had not been taken. read more
Berlin will also purchase 15 Eurofighter jets equipped for electronic warfare, a capability yet to be developed by Franco-German producer Airbus (AIR.PA), according to a confidential document sent to lawmakers to inform them of government plans.
The F-35 purchase will be a blow for Boeing (BA.N), whose F-18 was favoured by former German defence minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer to replace the Tornado.
The decision could also upset France. Paris monitored Germany's deliberations over the F-18 or more advanced F-35, fearing a deal could undercut the development of a joint Franco-German fighter jet that is supposed to be ready in the 2040s.
In an effort to assuage French concerns, Lambrecht echoed Scholz in stressing continued German support for the joint fighter program.

You said France .... The news mention Germany is interested.
To be honest Germany should have instead put money on Typhoon renewal and bringing it's availability rate high first.
F-35 is a technological Marvel but they have overdid it and should have gone the twin engine sleeker route like Rafale . We are going in right direction by opting for twin engine AMCA
Rafale is indeed an old is gold design, beautiful and technically it's still best thing out there in terms of avionics .
The design is mature and very well tested and developed in last 40-50 years and will be still formidable against 4th gen fighter jets outthere .
The only other aircraft one can put their bet on is Su 57 the latest stealth Flanker which no one can really buy now due to western sanctions.

No F35 for France. Never.

I know that's what I said to him... You probably didn't understand the context.
