    France always acts like this for some weird reason. It’s not like they are meaningfully anti-American imperialism or anything, but they pull up stupid shit like this all the time.

        This entire thing is stupid. Americans thanking the French for “disciplining Trump”, American liberals’ weird fixation towards anti-Trumpism, instead of actually comprehending the issues of the black people, and the working class, for which both the Republicans and the Democrats are to be blamed.

        The American mind always wants a savior. The American white MLs want Xi to save themselves from American fascism, but they will never rise up against their own government (because they are too comfortable). The American mind always looks outside to fix American imperialism. You might be a liberal, then I don’t want to argue with you.

        I can’t believe I am being dogpilled for this objectively true opinion lol.

          What are you on about? Why is it the job of France of all places to sort American political issues out? The French just don’t want to be drawn into this war, it’s not some political attack against Trump, it’s just them defending themselves from the inevitable fallout.

          If you are viewing this as some sort of anti-trump administration political manoeuvring, that’s your problem.

      I believe you’re referring to them standing up to the international rule of law that they partly helped create. It’s their way of “exerting soft power” as opposed of flying in flaccid cock in hand, popping a blue one, and fucking over some undeserving poor sod like America always does.

        International rule of law that selectively applies to the countries these European states deem “terroristic”. European countries facilitate and help the American state in every way, they are the beneficiaries of the capitalist system, yet people, especially liberals, act like somehow Europeans are some enlightened people. They are the rule loving anti-American establishment.

        Yeah, whatever. Like, you are not completely avoiding the fact that Macron literally messaged Trump personally, and said, “Hey Donald, leave Greenland alone, we can talk about Iran.”
