“Absolutely not. My advice to that unnamed low-level French politician would be to remind them that it’s only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a press briefing Monday, likely referencing an American-French allyship during World War II that snuffed out Nazi Germany. “They should be grateful.”
This is how we treat our allies now? What timeline are we in?
And if the French hadn't helped the US in the revolutionary war, they'd all be speaking English and be under a despotic monarch now.
Oh wait...
I love his these utter dips are reminding France that we fought the Nazis, while acting like Nazis and being saluted like Nazis.
We still have allies?
Yes, what's up with that? Couldn't USA find a peaceful solution back then? But no, they had to invade. Its like they didn't want peace. /s
