During the China visit, Ursula lectured China and warned Xi he should call Zelenskyy. China then proceeded to fed her cold tea, lukewarm Wuhan Bat soup, and undercooked pangolin with a side order of chicken gizzards. Then they sent her home through a “normal people gate with passport controls and queues”

God bless Chairman Xi for seeing thru this globalist crap.

He seems to be trying a play the same spoiler card France has played vis a vis the U.S. since the end of WWII - acting as a major power which they are not.

During the press conference Macron said that the "personal time Xi is devoting to the visit shows that France is not considered to be a country like any other."

Next time France needs help, we need to tell them to F off. Of course, at the same time I don’t blame them when the US is being led by a demented perv with a woke and failing military.

Macron is just another Vichy French who enjoys sex with corpses (his wife is 140 years old).

Thanks for posting this reality:

The Euros are not our friends.

Never have been!

Just use and abuse us over and over again while happily slurping at the Americans tax-payers' teats courtesy of Uncle Sucker.

A neocon zealot, just 2 days ago, said we needed NATO to take on China.

Oh, sure!

NATO's really worked well for us in Ukraine. Right?

“...Just use and abuse us over and over...”

Good point. But it is also true that the EU countries have really not found it necessary to beg for help since WWII. The US foreign policy has been to give without being asked, sometimes support not needed. Our US defense industry wanted to push their product and our government did just that. The reason they weren’t paying their fair share to support NATO is because the US didn’t expect them too - until Donald Trump came on the scene.

Why should France join NATO when they are surrounded and protected by NATO countries anyway?

Macron resembles a French Trump while the US never fully appreciated DJT.

Why should they when they are surrounded and protected by NATO members and have their own nukes?
Macron is a smart Frenchman who would be a good POTUS. He knows how to MFGA. He is no Biden.

France is a charter member of NATO.
