Boy...course, the US helped France. But they came in 1917.
The bigger patr of job was already done.
France stop alone the german offensive in La Marne, from the 09/05 to the 09/10 1914. Even US politics said that "France saves the world". Von Mltke, german HQ's leader, said "we've lost the war !".
France stop the german offensive in Verdun, from 1916 to 1917, it cost to Germany 315,000 dead, to France 295,000...in ONE battle.
UK also fought in La Somme.
France in the Chemin des Dames.
UK attacked in 1917 in Cambrai with the first tanks.
While we respect and admire Lafayette, everyone knows his expedition was funded by the French government for the sole reason of screwing the English. The French government of the 1770s could not have cared less about the people of an insurgent English colony.
La Fayette was a volounteer, like the polish Kosciuszko.
the french government sent Rochambeau and De Grasse.
Even if France wanted to kick some red coats' asses, the Spirit of Lights - "Esprit des Lumières" - was present in France's leader, so ideas like liberty of people was in french leader's head.
And what do you care about french motivation ? You fought France on the England's side from 1756 to 1763. France helped US colonies, and gave to them independance. the result is good for you. So what do you care about France motivation ? Do you think that it was agame for France ? sent to America a whole army and a whole fleet, while the British rules the seas, and fight the english, it is not the easier military operation of the history.
Now, close the historic chapter.
It's really really amazing.
Ali wrote a message, and put link to justificate all he said. But all the same you deny.
when you say that "France made and still makes a trade of weapons, france is hypocrite, France sucks - to sum up - , and that I do not deny, all the same you continue to say that France is a ******* nation.
Here, you can see that USA are not so clean as you mean.
Ali speaks of Spain, but all the same you say that France sucks.
Ali speaks of Iraq and Ronald Reagan, he gives to you link, but instead of asking yourself, of apologize, you insult him, and France, we don't know why france, but you do it just the same.
Have you a complex with France ? you always insult this country, even if it is not the subject.
Here people can see you well : you throw ugly things about France, you laugh, well, but when people do the same about USA, it is really no more funny. So, you insult.
Instead of beeing close-minded about Ali's message, try to be open-minded, and to understand what he means. You don't believe he's right because for you he CANNOT be right. But he can. and he is. So.....
Instead of always say that Fance sold weapons to Iraq, look on your own country, you will see worst things....
