When you recall their ambassador, your not just whistling dixie.

While I agree 100%, this isn't a full recall. This is a "come home so we can talk without anyone else listening to us" recall. I think the fact that they didn't recall their ambassador to England is telling, especially being this was the explanation: "But he said France had seen "no need" to recall its ambassador to the UK, as he accused the country of "constant opportunism"."

Basically, "we already knew they were counts, so there's really nothing to update our ambassador on"
