Another week and yet another ally thrown under the bus. France which under the Bush years was the darling of Progressives because they opposed the Iraq war, is now the latest victim of Leftist treachery. Since 2007 France has had a pro-American president in Nicolas Sarkozy, the immediate effects of which was that France became a partner for the US. This was unacceptable to the Progressives and they decided they would get even. With the election of Obama, he promised to mend rift with allies. This has not been the case since Obama gas back-stabbed Israel, Poland, Czech Republic, India, Colombia and Honduras. Now it is France’s turn to be turned on!
PARIS (Reuters) – French President Nicolas Sarkozy, initially dubbed Sarko the American for his pro-U.S. stance, is finding it much tougher to deal with Washington than he had anticipated and is recalibrating his policies accordingly.
Stung by perceived snubs from U.S. President Barack Obama and encouraged by the growing importance of the G20, Sarkozy is increasingly reaching out to non-aligned states in an effort to extend France’s international influence.
He has forged especially close ties with Brazil, is seeking alliances in central Asia and is intensifying his activities in the Middle East, using multi-billion dollar military and civilian nuclear trade deals as his calling card.
Read the rest.
Amazing, we have the most Pro-American leader of France ever and yet Obama and the Progressives snub him. The Progressives clearly love our enemies like Iran and North Korea. They are Totalitarians and France has the bad luck of being a Democratic Republic.
The Sarkozy-Obama rift is caused by the fact that France is now more hawkish with America in dealing with Iran!
“There is an annoyance about what the French see as naivety in the Obama administration,” said Bruno Tertrais, a senior research fellow at the Foundation for Strategic Research.
Sarkozy’s frustrations spilled into the open at the United Nations last month, when he appeared to chide Obama publicly.
“I support America’s outstretched hand. But what has the international community gained from these offers of dialogue? Nothing but more enriched uranium and centrifuges,” he said.
The French are correct, Obama and his Progressive minions are Naive at best. At worst they are outright traitors that sympathize with Totalitarian regimes. With Obama I have seen it all, A Pro-American President of France, insulted by a Anti-American President of America. This clearly is the world turn upside, but then again Progressivism is an upside down ideology!
