The French were critical in our success. They started with money, armaments and military trainers. Then they escalated to the French Navy and finally to French ground troops at Yorktown. Who would take France’s role today if the federal government decided to teach the American people a lesson?

No one, that’s who.
We have our best shot at this, right now. But, without US military, even PDJT couldn’t pull this off.

Correct. I have a problem visualizing a triumvirate of general and flag officers commandeering the media and sending troops to seize federal facilities.

"We've decided to remove domestic and foreign enemies. In the next few months, we will purge America of all enemy influence and then restore the Constitution."

I don't see a Franco or Pinochet figure emerging from our military.

They kinda hated the brits at the time so it was natural. Pretty certain our revolutionaries would have carried the day regardless. Minor useful helper at the time. If you know any French, they can be cool and hot at the same time. Depending on which way the wind blows.
