    If our allies are gonna get butt hurt after 1 bad date after 70+ years of dating then they ain’t allies to the American people who are suffering. They are allies to what our government can do for them. This makes them look a certain way more than it makes us look bad.

      Please tell us more about how the American people have it worse than Palestinians, Haitians, half of Africa and half of Central America.

          The French literally burn their country down anytime cuts to social services or tax increases are proposed. They literally can’t stand to budget for foreign aide like the US has done for decades

            This is what happens when your population is educated about history, and when your country has a history of resistance.

              It’s what happens when the past 80 years of your country have been spent entirely subsidized by America’s gross paternalistic attitude to the “Old War.” Western European institutions cannot stand on their own without the bleeding of American capital/labor
