JFK’S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60’s when de Gaulle decided to pull out of NATO. de Gaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.
Rusk responded “does that include those who are buried here?
de Gaulle did not respond.

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American.

During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying ‘Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done?
He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims.
What does he intended to do, bomb them?’

A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: ‘Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck.
We have eleven such ships; how many does France have ?

Psycological warfare at God-level. “I am appointing Matt Gaetz as Attorney General.” “I accept Trump’s nomination for Attorney General, I resign my House seat.”

Immediate chaos.

One week later. Trump “Never mind.” Gaetz to Trump, “ Later dude.”

Enjoy the ride!
