FT: The French are right about the Americans

[Person Man]

There’s another side to this story.

I really don’t care. People have businesses to run. I’ve had people renege on verbal job offers to me and I reneged on them.

I’m upset with Biden on NordStream 2 and I think France is doing an amazing job on energy and the environment. This isn’t about my loyalty to the Democratic Party. In fact, I’m planning on becoming an independent if they can’t pass their agenda at all. Even Trump got his tax cuts and was able overturn Roe.

Biden-Johnson is basically the inverse Bush-Blair at this point. Embarrassingly bad diplomatic "leadership". Biden is actually making American international relationships worse than Trump, both with allies and adversaries.

That isn't quite accurate

You think Trump wouldn't do this in a heartbeat? Or George W. Bush

American presidents have always done what was best for American interests. American workers and American companies. You don't think France would have done the same?

Australia ordered 50 billion in new submarines. France couldn't deliver so Australia shopped else where. France can be angry but that is how the world works

If I pre-order a bag from Target and they fail to deliver, I have every right to cancel my order and take my business to Walmart. Even if I am friends with the store manager of Target

If, at McDonald’s, it’s been almost 10 minutes, I’ll just tell them I don’t want it anymore. If I wanted to pay seven dollars and wait 15 minutes for my food I would have gone to a real restaurant.

So let me see if I have this straight.

France screws up submarine deal with Australia over massive cost overruns and delays.

 Biden administration negotiates deal with Australians to replace the French, earning American companies billions of dollars and providing thousands of jobs.

 Biden's critics complain because winning these tens of billions in contracts and thousands of  Is American jobs made France cry.

  So remind me again, at what point am I supposed to care?
