How considerate to have a guy in the corner translating to Italian.

Mama Mia spaghetti carbonara!

Unfortunately, this didn't really happen

Thanks for this. We need a way of flagging satire or misinformation more clearly. I don’t think it’s enough to have it buried in the comment sections.

[–] xye@lemm.ee 23 points 4 weeks ago

Well. Seeing as this is NCD…

[–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 weeks ago

Maybe we should put these types of posts into a community and say that it's non-credible in the name.

I would say it's obvious satire but then i remembered the reality we live in

Personally I take everything here very seriously as the community is clearly called credibledefense

France demands a mineral deal and a thank you

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 25 points 4 weeks ago

The US should be more thankful. And should wear a suit

It only took Haiti 122 years to pay off the French.

Liberte, egalite, fraternite. 😑

Sorry, that deal was made with the French royal family, not the republic. It's null and void.

[–] smac@sopuli.xyz 8 points 4 weeks ago

It doesn't matter. The debt was repaid in 1795 by James Swan, a banker who assumed the debt from the U.S.

If you transfer debts and loans they're still valid, it's what the ussr Russia exchange did.

Start with musk's fortune and go down the wealthiest Americans list.

NGL the USA becoming a French Colony would fix 90% of the political issues currently plaguing it.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Eh, it would probably end up like Haiti

I don't think France would want to open up the indemnity/ reparations conversation...

[–] Alloi@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

i mean they did give us democracy, existentialism, and the blow job.....

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

...menage à trois.....soixante-neuf....

But aside from those, what have the French done for us?

[–] Spider2013@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Baguette, croissant, macarron

[–] El_Scapacabra@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Yes, yes, but other than that, what have the French really ever done for us?

[–] Spaniard@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Napoleonic law, the metric system, pasteurization

[–] blujan@sopuli.xyz 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, yes, but other than that?

I wish. Sadly, despite being heavily armed, Americans are too polite and gentle when it comes to their politicians.

[–] Spaniard@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

They aren't? They are talking about a loan which has nothing to do with indemnity / reparations.

They financed the US independence movement / war out of self interest to screw on England and any way they got paid with the Quasi-War.

Looking at history the US were never a reliable partnet, cough remember the maine cough.

[–] adhdplantdev@lemm.ee 7 points 4 weeks ago
