Whatever happens, it's not biden, it's buckwheat.

France has been an ally since the Revolution in 1776.

Not exactly. Are you aware of the Quasi War?

The Quasi-War, which at the time was also known as "The Undeclared War with France," the "Pirate Wars," and the "Half War," was an undeclared naval war between the United States and France. The conflict lasted between 1798 and 1800, and was a formative moment for the United States. Although it occurred during John Adams' presidency, the Quasi War involved George Washington in two significant ways.

The Quasi War was the first time that American neutrality, which had been championed by Washington as president, found itself under attack. In addition, once the conflict began John Adams sought George Washington's military expertise, reinstating him as Commander-in-Chief.

During Washington's presidency, Great Britain and revolutionary France entered into a war with each other. Seeking American support, France sent an emissary, Citizen Genet, to the United States. Genet was undermining a neutrality agreement that Washington had signed earlier that year, and he attempted to circumvent the American government by landing in South Carolina rather than the then-capitol at Philadelphia.

Instead of meeting immediately with the president, Genet recruited privateers, exploited political divisions between supporters and detractors of revolutionary France, and slowly made his way to the capitol. Once in Philadelphia, Genet was denounced by Washington. Ultimately, the United States refused support to France and signed the controversial Jay Treaty with England, which settled residual issues from the Revolutionary War and declared friendly diplomatic and trade relations with Great Britain.

The Jay Treaty angered the French, who responded by harassing American vessels at sea. The new president, John Adams, sent ambassadors to France where they encountered an unstable French government that sent its own officials (referred to as "X" "Y" and "Z" in the published papers) to meet the Americans. The French officials, on behalf of foreign minister Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord sought a bribe, a loan, and an apology from the Americans. Talleyrand hoped to reinforce his own political power while also gaining American support for France.

LOL, the birth of neoliberalism (free trade, as long as it serves the narrow interest of select elites)

Australia has been completely coopted by the Chinese. Biden sending Australia our allies, our American Built Submarines, will just be handing the Chinese over our submarine technology.

If anyone believes that these things are happening in a vacuum or that Biden and his son are doing something good for this country, i suggest just keep watching that Met Gala crap and keep getting your vaccine boosters. Because either way, America is going to be China’s bitch until the end of this asshole’s term in office.

I don't see Australia as being a particularly happy partner with China. Australia exports a lot of raw resources to China, so they are a needed trade partner for Au. I think Australia kinda wishes other countries would buy their stuff so they wouldn't have to sell to China.

I don't think Australia would be parting with military hardware, or any finished goods they'd have to import.

be handing the Chinese over our submarine technology

Do you really think the Aussies would stab us in the back like that?

Does history mean a thing to anyone? ;)

Talk to many Australians lately? You might want to. Their entire government has been bought up by the CCP. Bad things are happening there.

I know a woman here in town who runs the local food bank. She has relatives in Australia. She also says they still have their guns.

I doubt it is quite the same as here in the U.S., but who knows what can happen over there.

The CCP might control the government, but they do not control the people. ;)

This happened during the French Revolution.

At the start of the French Revolution they killed all the lawyers first.

The people tore down the Bastille and used the blocks of stone to build bridges over the Seine River.

BTW, Marie Antoinette, when informed the people had no bread, never said, "Let them eat cake." ;)
