NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG:
France was the only Western country to vote 'NO' at the UN Security Council to authorize Arab nations to use force to open the strait.
France voted with China & Russia.
That was yesterday.
Today, French ships are passing through the strait.I don't believe in coincidences. https://t.co/DPxmBJXNJK
