Dam Yankees!

"With that, France has had it. First the mess in Afghanistan, and now this double cross with the Aussie deal. This was enough to make the French wish Donald Trump was still POTUS. How upset is Macron? Like I said earlier, he pulled their ambassador."

One of our longest and staunchest allies, has been France. Even though they seldom have much to offer, they have always had our back. And we have had theirs. Like, pulling their fat out of the fire in both world wars. But so what. Our last two Presidents have really gotten under their skin. And with the 2020 election, France thought they were once again getting the adult in the room. Wrong!

So, what was the problem with President Trump? First off, Donald Trump is a businessman, and not a politician. His bug-a-boo for quite a while now, has been NATO. Not that he wanted to see NATO disbanded, he just wanted all members to pay what they had agreed to. GASP! WHAT? Pay what you owe? 

And what was all this horse pucky about American Exceptionalism that Trump kept talking about? The French did not like that, as they have been around a lot longer than the US of A has been around. In fact, if not for the help of the French prior to and during the Revolutionary War, there might have never been a US of A! Of course, Donald Trump told the French they were exceptional also. And the "America First" thing Trump always talked about. That could have been, and should have (also) been, "France First", or England First". Trump said, one should always put their homeland first.

Then comes Biden. The "adult in the room". How bad has Uncle Joe messed up our relationship with one of our oldest and most loyal allies? For the first time ever, France has pulled their ambassador. No, that is not a typo. They recalled their ambassador. What could we have done so bad to them, to cause this to happen? Buckle up.

France has (had) a multi-year, multi-billion dollar deal to supply nuclear technology to Australia for their submarine program. For reasons which are not yet clear to me, the United States has talked Australia into abrogating of the existing French contract, and then signing a new contract with the US.

To say the least, the "ship hit the sand" when France got wind of this. The United States, a trusted friend and NATO partner of France, just stabbed the French in the back. And to make matters worse, "Joe Biden's America" did not have the courtesy to tell the French what we were doing. Nor make them a part of the team. 

With that, France has had it. First the mess in Afghanistan, and now this double cross with the Aussie deal. This was enough to make the French wish Donald Trump was still POTUS. How upset is Macron? Like I said earlier, he pulled their ambassador.

When the world is a mess, the last thing we need is someone like Slo Joe coming in and mucking up the gearbox. One well known pundit last night said that Biden is an idiot. Always has been. Totally unfit to lead. Then why in the world did we make him the leader of the free world? Biden voters - care to weigh in?
