Surprised about the French. I thought they had more sense.
Syria was a league of nation mandate to France at the end of WWI, and was effectively a French colony. Despite france’s fall from global to a strictly regional power, and the fact that French rule is hardly remembered with fondness in much of her former colonies, France never gave up the pretention that she continue to have special interests privileges in areas over which she had once been the colonial master.
You'd think the Algerians would have disabused them of that nonsense.
