needless (and pointless) insults of our allies...(as well as leaking their defense secrets to the mass media in order to weaken or undercut them...)
they must be teaching something new in Diplomacy class these days?
To: Tennessee Nana
We also fought a Quasi-War with the French during their Revolution. 1798 to 1800.

When I think about it, they didn’t support us against the Brits because they liked us. They just hated the Brits so much more.

Technically correct.
However that was about six changes of government ago.

Had I been in their situation I might have done the same. No one likes to be involved in something but kept in the dark.

Well, it’s the first true thing I’ve heard him say in a while. And besides, this bunch slaps UK every chance they get.

“Paris France is where John Hanoi Kerry met with the North Vietnamese to get his marching orders in the 70s.”
Stop with your Wingnut propaganda. John Kerry met with both sides in Paris. The North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong!

Probably the Viet Meim, Chicoms and some real radicals.

France was the Confederacy’s best ally providing the south with arms during the war for states rights.

I think Morocco was first - I think they were proud of that at Epcot.
To: eCSMaster
You're right. I looked it up. They actually beat France to the punch in 1777.
As you may know, Morocco was officially during World War II, but allowed American troops to land there and use it as a base to push into North Africa. General George S. Patton loved the Moroccans for that reason.

Thanks Sub-Driver, but he's not wrong.
John Kerry administered a diplomatic slap in the face to Britain following David Cameron's withdrawal of military support for intervention in Syria, omitting the UK from a long list of 'friends' prepared to support US actions against the Assad regime.
Listing the UK when the UK Parliament said no would have been false and would have called attention to the fact. Naturally a UK paper would bring this up, probably for reasons of partisan advocacy.

So this is “nuance” in action.
