France Suspends its Participation in NATO SeaGuardian after standoff with Turkey

You do know within an hour of the incident France sent in emergency several warships,maritime patrol aircraft and several Rafale over the area ? Nobody ran away. Turkish Navy is surely a credible opponent but not a threat to the French Navy.

Do not take Europeans lack of political will as being afraid of Turkey and its sultan or some. If you really think French interests and concerns in Libya are all about "few oil" contracts,then you are clearly mistaken.
Turkey is supporting the UN backed government in Libya - shouldn't France be doing the same?

At the very least, I fail to see any justification for Macron's "criminal responsibility" criticism of Turkey.

If you're going to argue that support for a UN recognized government in a civil war is a 'criminal action', then the US and its NATO allies supporting the UN backed government in Afghanistan for years is a far bigger crime.

Turkey is no match to France both in terms of economy and military. For now, Turkey and France should sort out their differences over Libya. Whatever is happening in middle east, or in Northern Africa, shouldn't effect France so don't understand why France is poking so much nose there.
this is just another confirmation that NATO unity is just like Arab unity- its dead and a thing of the past. NATO couldnt muster a solid NATO contingent to protect ther Persian Gulf waters, now we see NATO cant build a complete contingent to protect Libya's coast...NATO IS A PAPER TIGER. i've told you all, and now this is at least the 2nd piece of evidence showing that NATO's unity only exists on paper...

Why is France poking it's nose in?
is Turkey not poking its nose ?? just want to understand the basis for this conclusion.

NATO BREAKUP is now downloading....
