Americans can look forward to 60 years of stories about being "surrender monkeys" and France can look forward to 60 years of stories about being good allies.

A lot of us feel like this guy did in 1940 when we see the Russians driving our foreign policy.

This is an excellent explainer for the above "crying frenchman" story. 

The Weeping Frenchman: the Emotion of National Loss Professor Buzzkill

Quote

As I said at the end of the previous episode where I talked about preserving the “Republic” part of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” The only way that can be done is by insisting that our Republic not be forgotten, and by never letting any force try to extinguish it. So let me end this episode by asking you to do one thing. Go watch the famous scene in the Hollywood classic, “Casablanca,” when the German soldiers are at a corner table, drunkenly singing one of their triumphal songs in Rick’s Cafe. You’ll remember that the true hero of that film, Victor Lazlo, outraged at this Nazi bombast, goes over to the bandstand and insists that the Rick’s Cafe’s house band play “La Marseillaise.” Remember what he says – “play La Marseillaise.” And when they hesitate, he insists, “play it!” They play it, the French people in the cafe are moved, start singing quietly, and then build up to sing it loudly and forcefully. Eventually, the singing Nazis are drowned out and have to sit down. 

And Americans right now must take every opportunity we have to do exactly that — speak loudly and forcefully that our Republic must never be overrun by barbarians.

Talk to you next time.

My god does this kill me...

Noting that my Toronto-based VPN is showing me all the youtube ads for the Canadian elections.  The ads are all about how this politician or that politician is weaker on Trump than the person who bought the ad.   This has a dynamic all its own.   I think 4 eyes might be what happens but the US might be the one that isn't included.
