The French will build a great great nuclear umbrella for the EU and will have the US pay for that.

Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence
A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.
Here we toast:
πͺπΊ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
π§ The freest of health care
π· The finest of foods
π³οΈβπ The liberalest of liberties
π The proud non-members and honorary cousins
πΆ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.
Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream βonly in YUROP.β
Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

The only country I can think of to have such a Euro-centric view while only knowing 4 of them is the US.
Those 4 have a long way to go before they're as shite as you.
It's all the same people. Transnational corporations, billionaire international investors and bankers, and their gaggle of Ivy League friends who all went to the same country clubs and boarding schools.
Bernard Arnault and Donald Trump have more in common than you and your local Parliamentarian.
Many countries have billionaire rulers. However Japan during WW2, or Belgian occupation in Africa are viewed as having taken worse actions than billing Haiti for independence.
The Belgian occupation of Africa and the French colonization of Hispaniola had quite a bit in common.
True but they quoted the collection after independence before claiming it's a race to the bottom.
Also shows that it's more than just those 4 countries.
I'm French, and while I can't speak for the other three countries, France is definitely heading the same way as the US
Maybe the fate of the US will inspire a different course. As an American, I definitely support our demise serving as a warning to others.
You can correct me but weren't the Huguenots a better example of terrible things you've done?
