France, which has once again intervened in Africa – this time to restore order in the Central African Republic – is the only European Union country that seems genuinely interested in satisfying popular demand for more robust European security structures. The French consider Europe to be a kind of superpower – a status that implies a corresponding military capacity.
真正愿意满足公众强化欧洲安全结构要求的唯一国家似乎是法国，不久前它已再次对非洲进行干预——这次是为实现恢复中非共和国秩序的目标。法国将欧洲视为某种超级力量——而超级力量需要具备相应的军事实力。
