At this summit, we must “ ask the Americans this question of confidence: do you respect us, where is the alliance going? ", He told the RTL / LCI / Le Figaro Grand Jury. " The question is to know if, for the Americans, we also count, or if we are in the second division ", explained the president of Hauts-de-France, and " if the answer does not satisfy us, I wish to put on the table the question of the participation of France in the integrated command of NATO ”.
Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian ruled on Saturday that the crisis would weigh heavily on the definition of NATO's new strategic concept , without however evoking an exit from the Atlantic alliance.
Qualifying as “ treason ” the breach of the contract of submarines, Xavier Bertrand estimates that “ France does not have vocation to be treated like a servant of the Americans ” for whom “ it is always “ America First ””. " It is time that we have the same vision for France " and " nothing prevents having discussions with China, with India ", he said, deeming " urgent to renew a political dialogue high level with President Putin ”and“ with our European friends ”, which“ will also lead to a clarification of Germany ”. According to him, it is also necessary "to see if there is no cooperation that we can now call into question (...) especially in the space field ”.

The French clearly still have an Empire, it just isn't in any strategically important places to matter. The British territories are much less populated and smaller, but in important places strategically. If you combined the British and French territories, that would be very capable of operating anywhere in the world.

They have done a lot for NATO.Wholeheartedly sabotaging NATO interventions in both Bosnia and Kosovo and giving intel to the Serbs as much as they could.
