So something just happened at the UN yesterday.

UN had been arguably irrelevant for a few decades. France had been irrelevant since it's been absorbed by the EU and they're just posting takes. This has been best described on an Economist article featured here a few months ago https://www.economist.com/europe/2026/02/18/that-irritating-...

But now, one of their takes made the news https://x.com/FranceONUGeneve/status/2081064968586232263

It happened as US diplomats at the UN felt so insecure and were so inexperienced that they not only took the bait, but made a CSPAN13 hearing hilarious and viral

Why are American diplomats unwilling to publicly acknowledge that Trump has a different foreign policy than Biden and Harris ? It just make them look like they don't have any coherence.

And since when have they been acknowledging and giving credit to what France says ? They're supposed to fly above it and talk to the EU

This is ridiculous. China is getting ahead by just being consistent when they're saying they don't care about Ukraine, they just want Taiwan. Ukraine proved that Europe will not have the will to do anything in Asia.

In the meantime, Trump made NATO relevant again after silently quitting it and abandoning Europe, yet their diplomats make scenes and feel threatened by France's opinions as they can't assume their own policies

What a world we are living in
