OK, so instead of putting pressure on France, how do you promote a climate of
cooperation with France, given that they have been explicit that they will
oppose us for the simple reason of beign a "counterweight" to US power and
prestige?

They have admitted they will oppose us, just to oppose us, to prevent us from
being successful as a world leader. There is no way to find cooperation with
that mindset.

I think they're just still ****ed that the international language of ATC is
English instead of French.
