The French embassy in Wellington denied involvement, stating that "the French Government does not deal with its opponents in such ways".

The poor ambassador must have been so fucking annoyed to learn that this is, in fact, how the French government deals with its opponents.

He would perhaps have been less surprised had he ever been randomly arrested or beaten up by cops at a political protest.

Just European governments committing actual terrorism. Nothing to see here, move along please. (This is just the shit we learn about and I wished everyone who ever participates in any such scheme died an agonizing immediate death before they can execute it)

Remember kids, always trust your government when they tell you who your enemy is. They’re never wrong.

I'm from New Zealand and my mother still brings this up every time France is mentioned in any context.

Of all nuclear powers France is top of my list to actually use nuclear weapons first.

Never fuck with the French.

They lost 1 war after centuries of successful military campaigns and now people associate them with the white flag. They were a super power. There’s a reason everyone on the planet knows what a croissant is.

Remember, Remember The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot!
