Do you realise the risks US would be taking? Like the end of NATO?

I don't want to say US isn't making stupid things, but this would be a whole new level of stupid...

1. I'm not saying the US did it. 2. I just want to remind you, that you're talking about a country literally renaming their national dish to "freedom fries" over France not wanting to join in a war, started under provably false pretenses.

>literally renaming their national dish to "freedom fries"

Nobody actually did this. 10% of extreme "patriotic" losers wanted to do this. It did not happen.

French fries are not the National Dish of the USA, and it was done in the cafeterias in Congress (as well as a few other zealous restaurants). But to portray it as a country renaming their national dish is an over-exaggeration.

As a US Citizen. I laughed at "Freedom Fries" as did many I know.

The US is not homogeneous or even close.

As an example:

I remember warning people when visiting over seas: Trump is many things. Stupid is not one.

I stand by that statement. I don't agree with the man. But I will never mistake him for a total fool. Did he mis-calcuate. Thankfully, so far yes. But 2024+ will tell the truth on that, alas.

Many in the US consider Trump a fool. I do not.

I agree. Sounds more like Poland to me. And I don't really blame them. The germans are quite hard to trust.
