The French can't possibly be contemplating an above ground explosion??
That's against international treaties and would spark a lot of outrage.


Since when have the French worried about international treaties or
opinion
if it interfered with their wishes.

Why single the French out? Since 2001, the US has broken or extricated
itself from one treaty after another.

Well, it's difficult to extricate one's country from a morass of stupidity
in one action; we have to whittle away the crap one treaty at a time. And if
the French are offended, well, they know how to shrug, eh?
