    I think Macron is an asshole, yet I don’t condone terrorism. These are not conflicting views.

    Effectively sieging the embassy is terrorism, this isn’t about colonialism at all.

      After a embassador is expelled and had his visa canceled he is not an embassador anymore, he had a time to leave but he decides to stay and became at the best an illegal immigrant, at the worst an international agent.
