You know, I don't think anybody has escaped having a problem with the French at some time or other. Like with the Rainbow Warrior that was blown up in a port in New Zealand. The French seem to know how to dig, rather than just stab that knife into your back.

Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior Wiki

The sinking of Rainbow Warrior, codenamed Opération Satanique,^[1] was a state terrorism bombing operation by the "action" branch of the French foreign intelligence agency, the Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE), carried out on 10 July 1985. During the operation, two operatives sank the flagship of the Greenpeace fleet, Rainbow Warrior, at the Port of Auckland on her way to a protest against a planned French nuclear test in Moruroa. Fernando Pereira, a photographer, drowned on the sinking ship.

3 Jan 2024 - Medvedev labels French diplomats ‘scum, bastards, freaks’

The French Foreign Ministry has justified Russia’s historic dislike of France by declaring the Ukrainian massacre of civilians in Belgorod to be self-defense, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claimed on Wednesday.

“We never liked the French,” Medvedev said in a Telegram post. “The frogs fought a war against us,” he added, referring to Napoleon Bonaparte’s ill-fated 1812 invasion.

“Now we are convinced of this. The French Foreign Ministry said that the strike on Belgorod using cluster munitions was ‘self-defense’,” he added. “Scum. Bastards. Freaks.”

The French response to the Belgorod massacre echoed the official position of the European Union, which has fully endorsed Kiev.
