The French have seen their power in the world generally but also in their playground of Africa seriously undermined through the exercise of US power, and they need to get over that: a lot of French action recently seems to be motivated by the intention of being contrary for the sake of it. I think the French will end up coming onside, personally, otherwise their status as a world power will be reduced to irrelevancy. If you're not in the game, you're not a player.
