      Honestly after I found out about the history of my country, I was surprised we aren’t more friendly with France and more anti-british. France supported us during the revolution and gifted us the 🗽.

        Because the french believe in Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. The first one the USA can fully agree on. But the second one, equality, is a deal breaker.

        afaik we were until like WW2 where the french were absolutely not prepared for an invasion by the Nazis. Vietnam then solidified the idea the french would forever rely on the US to solve their military problems
