Mmm, yeah they rather are. Oh well I get a fight and a chance to reveal Tyrant Morph.

On another note another reason the Persan have strong anti-covenant feelings is actually moral reasons. The Persan believe that you should never give into the demands of an enemy, defiance to the end is a virtue. So the fact that they gave into the demands of French really bugs them and is making them wonder whether their morals are compatible with the universe at large. So the Persan who were becoming more open are now starting to go back to being more isolationist.

The UPD also isn't terribly interested in creating a galactic government and are pretty apathetic to whole thing(they only really care about themselves and their allies). The more the French have contact with them they will soon begin to realize that the Persan and their reasoning simply cannot be judged on their regular standards. It's not total blue and orange morality, but it can get close.

The UPD's reasons for their hostility is a complex mix of cultural ideas of honor, unique morals, and self interest. It really can't be simplified down to one thing.
