      God no. French are the pettiest most arrogant cunts in the world.

      The British will want something even if the rest of Europe agrees and France will argue about fish.

        I know Brits like to joke about the French but I like France. And they’re a pretty similar country to the UK from a geopolitical standpoint. Both countries have their own nukes, both are permanent members of the UN Security Council, and both have very similarly sized populations and economies (both have about 68 million people, while Germany has 83 million people).

        So maybe France is a natural European ally for the UK. And of course France is right next to the UK.

          France with a completely serious hat on is most of the reason the UK is as pro US as it historically has been. They’ve tried to block or impede our involvement with practically every European project, leaving us with little practical alternative.

          And the reason this happened is ironically because they fear letting us in with let the US into Europe

    Some US elites absolutely love us and have ‘afternoon tea’, including (inexplicably) cucumber sandwiches. The current crop of wankers don’t give two shits about us and wouldn’t piss on us if we were on fire.
