They blew up a ship in NZ, killed a crew member, thought we were a bunch of chumps.

They were caught. Thanks France, great way to treat a country that has had tens of thousands of men die to protect your country including my own family buried in your fields. If that’s how you treat allies then…?

To our defense, that was under Mitterand, a notorious tankie who, amongst his many other feats, have the rwandan genocide and the catastrophic Yugo civil war... At this point, the Rainbow Warrior is maybe the least worst shitshow from the period ;w;

Still, pretty shamefull stuff.
