“For you even chose to have a hyphenated moniker, a clear sign of someone who has divided loyalties.”

The USA-FRANCE I use as a “hyphenated moniker” (as you say) is based on profound, important and unavoidable shared history America and France have in common.

Without France. No USA. That is what history tells us.
There would be no 1776 without massive French intervention for America.

“Without France. No USA.”

That’s an overstatement. Without France, Cornwallis would not have had to surrender when he did the way he did. But the French did not drive him into Yorktown. The French kept him from escaping. But even had Cornwallis been able to escape Yorktown by sea, it was a huge defeat for the Brits.

The war would have gone on. But the colonies may well have outlasted the Brits in what followed.

Without the USA there would be no Europe. So, we have repaid what France did in the revolutionary war, and then some. Weak argument, and my statement remains unchanged.

After WWII, President Charles de Gaulle was anything but grateful for our role in WWII. So, like I said our repayment to France is ancient history now.

As a French descent to this nation, I would never consider myself anything other than an American, and a proud one at that.

So, I repeat, take your BS elsewhere.

And, of course, absolutely nothing has changed in the past 250 years. /s
