It may be satire, but it could absolutely be real life. France is kinda lame and French people kinda suck.
Edit: if i had said the same thing about America, all you (lemmy users) Americans would all be like "yeah fuck smerica!" And I'd have up votes. But this is the leftist shithole called lemmy
it should though. everyone should go hard on these parasites. fascists always get a free ride from all the authorities. that's how they get into power. they never suffer consequences, because all the consequences are fake and designed to stop people from being too free or too communist, both of which fascists also work to stop, so the nation's enforcement mechanisms see them as friends and go really ridiculously easy on them.
france needs to nail america's dick to the wall, and declare that no more american goods will be coming into france until these scum pay their debts. maybe even give a 'we brought you into this world, and we can damn sure take you out of it.'
Your history lesson seems to forget America helping France, both financially and strategically, during and after WW2. I dislike the US position right now, but to suggest they've somehow been freeloading is patently false, and the rest of the world, Europe in particular, has relied heavily on the US since the end of WW2.
Nah actually my comment was Ukraine wouldn't join NATO regardless of acting president because it wasn't within the USA's interest similar to how they stalled F-16 access for 3 years.
Yeah, uhuh. I think if you look at the papers, that debt was owed to a king whose head ended up in a basket. 🧺. That was, hmm, quite a few French republics ago.
Meanwhile, why don't we discuss that little Normandy caper that one time
This is a joke about the US's recent demands for Ukraine to 'pay back' the aid given to defend its independence against Russian imperialism and genocide.
