France hasn’t been a trusted ally since the American Revolution..................

You are stuffed with IGNORANCE. Try telling that to a Gulf War vet who told me the French were the only Ally who knew what the H they were doing. The magnificent sweep of French tanks that bottled the Iraq elite forces was proof. That’s just one example. There are many. It’s he French beside us in A-Stan.
Anyone who thinks the Brits are our closest ally are first class fools. Just look at their attitude toward Trump when he visited England this year. Take a look at the Brit spy who tried to frame Trump in the Mueller affair. You can even go back to WWII when that little poppycock Montgomery tried to claim credit for every success including the Battle of the Bulge. Eisenhower wouldn’t listen to Patton and sided with Monty in Market-garden resulting in a huge defeat. Monty never got blamed for anything just like soft headed Americans think the Brits hung the moon. No Thanks! Throughout our history our closest allies have been the French.
I disagree, and will not engage in personal insults. However, it was because of French policies that led to the destruction of Weimar Germany and the rise of Hitler which led to WWII. After WW I the French would not re-schedule Germany’s war debt which was being repaid by US loans that dried up during the Great Depression. By not working with the US and satisfying their need for revenge (not only for WW I but also the Franco-Prussian War) their actions directly destabilized Germany to the point of it turning to Hitler.
I’m sure there are brave soldiers in the French military but the French government ONLY acts in its own interest such as in 1986 when we bombed Libya, the French REFUSED to let the US Air Force bombers fly over their territory en route.
