I sort wonder whether because it is always a given that America will veto in favour of war/imperialism, and people are used to that, Britain and Frances vote for ceasefire was pre planned to be an empty but people pleasing move, with approval from America. Europe aren’t complaining about America doing such a thing, over and over and over for a century. They seem quite happy to just disagree and have that count as meaningful action.
In this scenario, America is to Europe as the Republicans are to Democrats. Europe needs America to be Mr Big Bad so it’s rulers can continue to pretend that they care about peace.
i think the UK/France are more oriented to Ukraine and pissed about the red sea interdiction, so there’s somewhat of a misalignment in priorities between them.
