This is not good - the west should be unifying against Russia and China, not infighting. Bunch of comments here about how US is an unreliable partner, how France is throwing a tantrum over trivial matters and how Australia is stabbing them in the back. The larger picture of all this bickering is causing sentiment dent amongst NATO countries and the rest of the western powers. Media finds all this spicy and it has been on top news channels spooking people into tribal instincts. Not good.

Australia realised that Macron was a snake when he cosied up to China for the EU China trade deal and then started threatening Australia with EU climate export tariffs.

You are speaking as if The West is one big unified group of countries with a common agenda...
