NGL the USA becoming a French Colony would fix 90% of the political issues currently plaguing it.

France demands a mineral deal and a thank you

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago

The US should be more thankful. And should wear a suit

Start with musk's fortune and go down the wealthiest Americans list.

Unfortunately, this didn't really happen

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Thanks for this. We need a way of flagging satire or misinformation more clearly. I don’t think it’s enough to have it buried in the comment sections.

[–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 19 hours ago

Maybe we should put these types of posts into a community and say that it's non-credible in the name.

[–] xye@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago

Well. Seeing as this is NCD…

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.

It's not like the USA oligarchy would pay... It would come from taxpayer's money.

And they're already flooded in debt.

Anyway, I wouldn't oppose (nor is my place to decide, haha)

Sorry, that deal was made with the French royal family, not the republic. It's null and void.

[–] smac@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 day ago

It doesn't matter. The debt was repaid in 1795 by James Swan, a banker who assumed the debt from the U.S.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

If you transfer debts and loans they're still valid, it's what the ussr Russia exchange did.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

The debt was already paid anyways

as if these assholes have ever read a history book. they don't fucking know that.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 38 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It only took Haiti 122 years to pay off the French.

Liberte, egalite, fraternite. 😑

yes but the americans deserve it.

[–] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't think France would want to open up the indemnity/ reparations conversation...

[–] Alloi@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

i mean they did give us democracy, existentialism, and the blow job.....

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

...menage à trois.....soixante-neuf....

But aside from those, what have the French done for us?

[–] Spider2013@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Baguette, croissant, macarron

[–] El_Scapacabra@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yes, yes, but other than that, what have the French really ever done for us?

[–] Spaniard@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Napoleonic law, the metric system, pasteurization

[–] blujan@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, yes, but other than that?

I wish. Sadly, despite being heavily armed, Americans are too polite and gentle when it comes to their politicians.

[–] Spaniard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They aren't? They are talking about a loan which has nothing to do with indemnity / reparations.

They financed the US independence movement / war out of self interest to screw on England and any way they got paid with the Quasi-War.

Looking at history the US were never a reliable partnet, cough remember the maine cough.
