CalPundit notes:

There is, in fact, one European country that shares most of America’s attitudes and values:

  • Uniquely for western Europe, they value independent military action and have a strong martial culture.
  • They generally speak only their own language, and when they do speak other languages they do it badly.
  • They believe in the superiority of their culture and aggressively try to export it abroad though with minimal success these days.
  • They bargain aggressively and are often seen as obstreperous and arrogant by their fellow Europeans.
  • They have a permanent seat in the UN Security Council and aren’t afraid to use it.

Needless to say, the country is France, the bête-noir of Americans because they’re the only European country that acts the way America does.

Oh dear. I don’t think my friends Marion and Pierre are going to like that at all.
