    They would be deeply confused by our seeming hatred for France, then be deeply confused why America is fucking around in other countries.

    Thomas Paine might be a little happy about a few things though. Hard to tell.

      I wouldn’t say Americans hate the French, we just have a friendly rivalry based on who can be the most arrogant!

      They had us during the early years, we had them during the bad years, we have a long and brotherly history with those frog eating surrender monkeys :)

      Many of them were veterans of a war against France. France was their ally at the time, but they wouldnt have any problem with the concept of shifting alliances and loyalties.
