Washington Times ^

Gerard Araud tweeted Thursday afternoon that “In this Pearl Harbor day, we should remember that the US refused to side with France and the UK to confront the fascist powers in the 30s.”

Mr. Araud deleted the tweet within a few minutes, though not before it had been screen-captured.

But they had that whole Maginot Line thing going for them. Sorry we were busy with the Great Depression. We'll try harder next time.

On second thought, up yours, France.

The French could have crushed the German up until 1935 or 36.

The French will never forgive us for liberating them from the Nazis.

Why? To make the world safe for Communism 80 years earlier than Obama did?

If the Versailles Treaty had gone the French way, Germany would be a third world country even today.

WHERE did US troops first fight near Europe? Northern Africa.

Against GERMANS, right..? No, against Vichy FRENCH troops.

And when Hitler went into Poland leaving a wide exposed flank, what did the French do?

Who calls Europe friend and ally? Last Pearl Harbor day one British rag ran a story about “racist” America and how the British were the only ones who treated our black G.I.s as human beings.

Where would we be without our European allies?

I would ask HOW hitler was able to build such a war machine right under their noses but I’ve watched NK build a nuke missile that can reach my home.

And they’ve been doing it under our noses for 25 years.

The treaties the Frogs and Pommies had us signed decimated our military in particular our Navy.

The Versailles Treaty guaranteed Germany would be looking for revenge.

Lastly asks the Czechs how they fault about how the French stood in the gap for them.

Freaking Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys.

Maybe defaulting on your war debt with America when Hitler came to power was a bad idea...

>>We had a lot of isolationists.

Being isolationist makes sense when you:

a) Live in a nation that spans a continent and has just about anything you need and is protected by oceans.
b) Are nation of people who left European squabbles behind on purpose!
c) Recognize that there were no good guys in Europe (it was Nationalist Socialists vs Internationalist Socialists vs Monarchists).

He’s still sore either because we entered the war by attacking Vichy France first or that we wouldn’t let DeGaul lead Overlord.

Somebody seriously needs to poll Alsace-Lorraine and ask them if they’re really happy being French.
