Gleeful Macron trolls Britain's military shambles over Cyprus base

Emmanuel Macron has insisted Cyprus can 'count on France' as he rubbed salt in the wound of Britain's military embarrassment. The French president swiped at the UK's difficulties defending the crucial RAF Akrotiri base from Iranian reprisals as he visited the island yesterday. A glossy video posted on social media by Mr Macron overnight shows him posing with forces personnel and a variety of impressive military hardware including the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier.
