France: “Will Never Take Part”
French President Emmanuel Macron declares that France will “never take part” in operations to unblock the Strait of Hormuz. Ironically, his first name means “God is with us.”
To be most appropriate, the announcement should have been made at the site of the Vélodrôme d’Hiver, under a portrait of Marshal Pétain. A sense of history helps us to understand current events.
