So we see that when the French government is not actively betraying western civilization, some good things can be done!
All the more reason to despise the wavering, quavering, back-stabbing French govt in its more typical role vis-a-vis the run-up to the Iraq war, etc.
I see.
You’d prefer the French not have a carrier battle group there.
You’d prefer, instead, that they be actively trying to set up an alliance of Russia, China, the Arab League and the UN against any action against Iran.
You’d rather have fresh grounds to hate France anew than to win with the French on your side.
