Intellectuals should never try to figure out the motives of stupid people. There is no plan, a plan would require forethought, something which has always escaped the French. One can only surmise that the Germans caught stupid from their repeated exposure to it by spending too much time in the infected country.

I think you're underestimating them. This is a serious thing the French are doing-- by not just staying neutral, but actually doing everything in their power to oppose us. It is very well thought out. There is a method to their madness. I wonder what it is.
