"Help help... the governing elites are oppressing the smouldering masses!!!!"
Europe has to be wondering... What would the USA do to us, if we went as far to the left as we were planning next year, next month, next week?
Funny... north america, japan and the UK family pretty much dominate all the world's money, military and infrastructure.... looks like hypersocialism, practiced under the communist and extreme socialist regimes of Europe, failed to win the lions share of ANYTHING that matters... except for Cheese. The french do have the world's arsenal of cheese firmly within their grasp... but can they keep it?
Imported cheese from france... 20 per pound.
Medium grade wine per bottle by the case from france... 25 dollars a bottle.
Watching the french search in confused state for someone, anyone worth surrendering to... pretty cheap in my book... but...
Watching the federal republic of europe crap itself over their continuing loss of world influence... priceless.
Europe is becoming an insignificant world force to be reckoned with... roflmao.
Yeah! Then even the AIR FORCE could use it!
(At least in daylight...)
