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

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.
Maybe we should put these types of posts into a community and say that it's non-credible in the name.
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.
america helping france
one could argue america got them there, and failed to help when it would have been cheap in order to exacerbate the problem, because they VERY much could have been on the other side of that war.
also, fuck america. If you want to bring in world war 2 as 'america good' it is completely negated by operation paperclip and not executing every single member of the japanese royal family. fuck, shiro ishi, possibly one of the most disgusting horrible monsters our species has ever produced, ended up dead of medicine at tokyo university after the war. look up where nobusuke kishii and his family landed, after he ran the 'comfort women' program, and raped so many people that he had a full time assistant just to keep the amount of cum on his sheets from being inconvenient. the americans failed to do anything about either abomination.
the americans, again, chose to let both these men go free, along with the ones they explicitly paperclipped. While individual americans did do very good things for all kinds of reasons, they get no collective points for that war.
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.
It doesn't matter. The debt was repaid in 1795 by James Swan, a banker who assumed the debt from the U.S.
Ah, same as with Haiti.
It only took Haiti 122 years to pay off the French.
Liberte, egalite, fraternite. 😑
yes but the americans deserve it.
I don't think France would want to open up the indemnity/ reparations conversation...
i mean they did give us democracy, existentialism, and the blow job.....
...menage à trois.....soixante-neuf....
But aside from those, what have the French done for us?
Baguette, croissant, macarron
Yes, yes, but other than that, what have the French really ever done for us?
Napoleonic law, the metric system, pasteurization
Well, yes, but other than that?
The guillotine?
I wish. Sadly, despite being heavily armed, Americans are too polite and gentle when it comes to their politicians.
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.
