...urged that the defeated "enemy countries" (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria) should enter the E. U. on "equal terms" with the victor states? that is, these nations should be permitted to re-establish their armies.

This time he was in an even nastier mood. For this time the French envoy was acting for Rumania, and Rumania is anathema to all Red Russians, who consider that she stole Bessarabia from them while they were fighting the White Russians and the Allies in 1918.
