French newspaper: The British elites always talk about their special-relationship. They claim the americans are their lovely cousins. But do US elites actually respect them ?

God no. French are the pettiest most arrogant cunts in the world.

I know Brits like to joke about the French but I like France. And they’re a pretty similar country to the UK from a geopolitical standpoint. Both countries have their own nukes, both are permanent members of the UN Security Council, and both have very similarly sized populations and economies (both have about 68 million people, while Germany has 83 million people).
So maybe France is a natural European ally for the UK. And of course France is right next to the UK.
