"...most expeditionary army in Europe." That's not saying much,
especially since it would take them six months to get any of that army
overseas without American help.

!?

...and there are other Generals besides ones who grew up in France.

Sure... But if more Americans and French knew better the other country, its
history, its culture and its political system, maybe we wouldn't experience
the current situation...

"Continental sensibilities" means he says nice diplomatic things about
the Europeans he has to work with on a regular basis.

It's a bit true but nevertheless a nice comment by an American official is
so rare these days that it had to be underlined... :-)

If he were telling the truth, he'd be the *former* NATO Supreme
Commander...

And what would be such a truth? Hmm?
By the way, as you speak of former NATO commanders, here is what says
another one of them :

"if you really want allies, you got to listen to their opinions, you've got
to take them seriously, you've got to work with their issues. Every one of
our allied leaders is an elected leader, at least in Europe. And that means
they have domestic politics and political factors at home and economic
factors at home that influence their opinions. And those have to be
respected just like we would expect them to respect us for our political
system in the United States.
If we deal with our allies on a basis of respect, if we give them the
opportunity and the evidence and the arguments and the analysis that's
needed to help shape their public opinions, then we can expect them to go
along with us." Wesley Clark.

I don't know if he has any real chance to be your next president, but the
current administration would be inspired to take one or two of his ideas in
condideration...

So who said we want france as an ally? They have caused us nothing but
grief. Wesley Clark has zero chance of becoming the US President,
partially because of comments like the one above.

Well, almost all your top government officials, including your president...
Or were they all lying while crossing their fingers in their back? That
would probably be a premiere... :-)

partially because of comments like the one above.

I don't think he was refering to France only. Don't you want allies and
friends at all? Geez, I really wonder what disturbs you so much in Clark's
statement...

I'll tell you Arva. The Jews want to do something despicable and
completely unacceptable in the ME. They can swing their slaves, the
Zomboid Amerikong into docile acquiescense, only if the global protest
doesn't much matter. Only nukes matter.

Hence the beastlike xenophobia.

And ArVa, as a Frenchman you should know further: They plan to
instigate jihad in your Union, your name so blackened that the US
provides no help... they are traitors to the world.

Grantland

Easy, easy... Now take your pill... Good boy...

Because he is willing to sell out to our enemies.
