It's sad yes...But most socialist EUer's will blame the US for anything bad that happens in the world. Sometimes the blame is as bad as what the Islamics come up with.

I do not discount the effect of propagandizing, but really - blaming the US for Alpine floods??? I have NEVER seen any European article blaming the USA for European natural disasters. That allegation is ***solely*** confined to the FR site, and I am sorry to say, some are starting to believe their own fantasies - for that is what that statement is - and take the allegation seriously as fact. Let's remember when we talk about propaganda and its pernicious effect to apply the warning first to ourselves.
