I don't know why France withdrew from NATO, but it is their choice and their priviledge if they wish. Just like withdrawing from ICC is the choice and privilege of the US. An adult cannot honestly believe that a country would do things to stab another in the back. Countries do things in their own interests. Sometimes they coincide with the interests of other countries, sometimes they don't. That's life. As for ordering US troops off their soil, I honestly cannot understand why you see that as bizarre. If a country can afford to tell another to take its soldiers off its soil, of course it will. That does not constitute a "stab in the back", imho. How about the dead ones? Should we have taken them back?
