All the way up to the beginning of the campaign, the French were considered idiots and a great source of ridicule, now we're playing smoochy with their butt cheeks? Whatever does it for you, I guess.
I have always considered France an ally and a great country, the ones who considered the French idiots and a great source of ridicule are probably the ones declaring that the most powerful country on Earth only needs to be allied with 3 countries.
