Those interests have always been divergent. We should be concentrating upon dealing with "Europe" on a country by country basis and forget the EU superstate (and the UN with it). The principle of accountability Hansen is citing needs to be driven downward.
In that regard the French present a unique problem. It would seem that they gain their status only by "virtue" of their craven willingness to engage in abject perfidy. By disengaging them from Europe at large, we might just focus the world upon the depth of their depravity and thus induce some substantive change for the better.
I like your approach to deal with all the countries individually. Simple and direct and avoids generalizations that are often wrong. Plus, no friendly act on their part should be left forgotten or unrewarded.
