200 years of propaganda later - “Hurr Durr France surrender duh”
French soldiers died in fighting alongside the US in Afghanistan. It was a deeply unpopular war, but after 9/11 the US invoked NATO article 5, so the French along with other European nations sent young men to die alongside American soldiers.
I don’t think the freedom fries and “France surrendered” remarks are the problem.
It’s the “Russians should invade them, and I’ll encourage it.” remarks from the next president.
Tens of thousands died defending France in 1940. They didn’t turn tail and run, they were surrounded and cut off from supplies. They fought until it was impossible to fight.
Yep I’d love to see how many of the gun-owning cowards in the States would actually stand up and fight if it came to it lol
They’d definitely stand up
To get the remote from the other side of the room.Don’t need the remote they’re only watching fox news
Europe: USA help me
USA: No problem. Who are we fighting against?
Europe: Russia.
USA: What I’m saying is this: You have a group on one side and you have a group on the other, and they came at each other with bombs-- and it was vicious and it was horrible. And it was a horrible thing to watch. But there is another side. There was a group on this side. You can call them the good guys-- you just called them the good guys-- that came violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that’s the way it is. I think there’s blame on both sides. If you look at both sides – I think there’s blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it, and you don’t have any doubt about it either. And if you reported it accurately, you would say.
