Mr. Macron has had his nose put out of joint by AUKUS. He is besides himself with anger against the U.K. The Old Enemy.
Mr. Macron is up for re-election at Easter next year. The British and French are expected to keep up the shouting, til that time has gone. Boris is banking on Macron being tilted from his high horse.
Boris does not have to hold himself up to the electorate for a few more years. The Entente Cordiale is over.
France Elite cannot forgive the British people for voting Brexit.
