English does not suffice. I have been saying that NATO ceased to exist on January 1. Seems to be true. Here is what I think was the equivalent of the French used car dealer letting the customer kick the tires before purchasing, last November in St. Petersburg:

France, NATO, and the EU which has subsumed the first and killed the second are jing1chang2 mei2yong4 de5 and dai1ruo4mu4ji1 on a good day. They have not had a good day since September 2, 1870.

Our resident French commentator has often attacked the US for making peace with Britain after the Revolution and trading in civilian goods with them while France was at war with Britain. If she is representative of France, they have held the grudge for 200 years.

We did not sell warships to Britain to use against France and her allies. At a time when Russia is enabling an Iranian nuclear weapons program aimed at us, France is enhancing Russian ability to project power against us.

Mind you, it is legal. But is is also legal to regard France and the EU as the enemy, and keep that in mind for the future. The survival of our own country is in doubt. But if we survive and actually ever again get a government that cares for the United States and looks out for its interests, there will be a great deal of unfinished business to be transacted around the world.

I obviously do not speak for anything beyond myself. But I am in mind of a quote by Arnaud Amalric, Inquisitor for Innocent III in 1209 at Beziers, Languedoc, France.
