It's probably because French citizens are smart enough to put their own well-being before their governing powers well-being.

Yeah we've been together for 200 years, but it's not going well at all.

The French literally placed an emperor into power just shortly after a proletariat revolution. Let's not go sucking their dicks just yet.

From this extremely boring Finnish perspective, you guys in America set things on fire all the time. If that happened here once, we'd give the event a name and would talk about it for decades.
