In this case...a journalist only needs to go back to de Gaulle and his “Vive la France” statement, and find the true French character. Everything done by de Gaulle...was set to the strategy of nationalist France (even kicking the US military out in the 1960s).
Whatever Macon has attached himself to...is draining out his popular support every single day. They’ve got four years remaining on his ‘ticket’ before the next election...but I don’t see him rising much above 20-percent from this point on.
Ike didn’t trust deGaulle and didn’t let him know of any war planning ahead of time.
de Gaulle also supported Quebec separating from Canada.
