The French, like all the western euro states, have to placate the hordes of islamic fanatics and murderers they have imported into their midst.
The EU is beyond help, beyond sanity, beyond hope and beyond redemption.
They are not our ally and I question whether most of them ever have been. They’ve always been willing to take money and help from us, but that is not my definition of “ally”.
They were doing this long before the Mahometans arrived in masses on their soil.
And no, they never have been our ally. Their whole impetus is to become a “third power” between the east and the USA.
