I always believed, those collaborators sold the French public on phony security - even though they were well aware of the aims and capabilties of their country's enemy. Their payoff: half a country to call their own (at least in name).
To me, the similarity is unavoidable. What else could America's surrender monkey's be hoping and planning for?
This could be the result of ignorance, stupidity, naivete, greed or malice.
