@usher_andrew @s_delhommer Yes, both in the US and in Australia It’s absolutely not seen as an overreaction here in France, and the fact it is seen as an overreaction in the English speaking world and not as such in France makes me wonder how deep the rift already wasPermalink

@usher_andrew @s_delhommer Apparently there’s no US ambassador in France, and considering how the US backtracked from almost defiant comments to a more conciliatory tone is a possible indication they had no idea where France really was on thisPermalink

@usher_andrew @s_delhommer And despite this change of tone in US diplomacy, two hours ago the French ministry of foreign affairs reiterated the same harsh criticism of "betrayal" and stuff like that Part of all of this is theater, but I honestly wonder is something deeper hasn’t been brokePermalink

@usher_andrew @s_delhommer Also, France will soon preside over the EU (it’s a rotating presidency) and Le Drian was clear France would push for more strategic autonomy Wouldn’t be surprised if it also played a role to make a bigger fuss about thisPermalink

@usher_andrew @s_delhommer Even in 2003 when France opposed the invasion of Irak, I’m not sure such strong langage was used Time will tell but I’m really not sure it’s just a bump on the road @Mij_Europe/1439318971203956737Permalink
