Indeed, France’s return to NATO is far from a U-turn that reflects disenchantment with ESDP. Rather, it is the product of a 15-year process of rapprochement with NATO – and of the real progress being achieved in European defense.
事实上，这次回归并不是一次意味着法国从欧洲防务与安全政策的迷梦中苏醒过来而进行的彻底反转。恰恰相反，这是法国耗时 15 年最终实现与北约和解 —— 以及欧洲防务所取得的实质性进展 —— 的产物。
