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.

Quite possibly true. Russia's Red Army might well have rolled right to the Atlantic, as Stalin intended.

Just after the WW2 Tehran Conference, Stalin said to a journalist, (roughly translated):"It's high time the Slavic race was in charge of Europe." He meant it literally. American power stopped him. The turning point might have been Berlin Airlift.

Putin is resurrecting all the worst of the Soviet era evil-doers, including even Felix Dzerzhinsky. Moscow's intention of subsuming all of Europe to Russian hegemony survives to this day.

The Doink Derp probably doesn't know that President Charles de Gaulle pulled all of his French troops out of NATO.
On June 21, 1966, France made the somewhat shocking move to withdraw its troops from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). This decision led by French president Charles de Gaulle complicated relations between the U.S. and Europe amidst clashing American and Communist spheres of influence.
