DeGaulle was nothing but a self-serving blowhard. During the was Ike couldn’t tell him about pending operations as he would demand to take it over.

He was actually a France serving blowhard. And he was right not to let a British and American centered organization make decisions about the Fate of France.
Britain has been a long term adversary and an unreliable ally.

If you were French, would you let Brits rule over you? Or would you prefer a home grown nuclear deterrent that YOU controlled?

De Gaulle was a dictator of France. Only way they got rid of was him to die.
