On France's foreign policy in the post-9/11, post-Cold-War world: What France really wants
France is no longer a great power; its influence will not come as a result of the size of its military or the robustness of its economy. It will come from imposing on the international system a system of procedures, rules and regulations that will constrain the ability of more powerful states, and particularly the United States, to act without France’s assent.
Isn't that sort of how a lot of people work? They know they can't compete, so they do everything they can to bring down the ones who can.
