I would here indicate what French president Macaroni can do with his new world order, but such graphic language would be considered offensive by some. So I will refrain. Suffice it to say that it involves his posterior.

I'm actually shocked that someone finally admitted it in clear language.

As I recall there would not BE a France if we hadn't saved their butt's twice. They'd all be speaking german. And we didn't even charge them for all the lives and treasure we spent on their behalf. A little gratitude might be in order.

There would have never been a United States if France hadn't helped us defeat the British. The symbol of our freedom was a gift from France. Merci beaucoup.

He doesn't mention Russia, who would have to be high on the danger list.

As for the U.S. I'd bet he changes his tune if we pull all our foreign & military aid and just kept to ourselves. Let the peons battle it out and see what happens.

I wouldn't mind if we pulled out items that cost us money, although China can capitalize upon the vacuum, which is precisely what the US is trying to prevent.

But according to the Frenchman, he wants to keep China under control.

Good luck with that.

Being told "You can't sell/buy" certain items or support industries from a nation (China) without risking 'sanctions' is a lot more than keeping them under control. Nations may choose to reject that type of commitment to the US and still feel they are doing enough. The US trying to insist nations prioritize our interests over their own isn't going over so well nowadays. We have successfully got Europe to buy our more expensive LNG though (Wounding Russia) so maybe we can bully/push this one through too regarding China.

I don't see any practical way to implement what he is proposing. The only order that has succeeded in maintaining peace to some degree is through a balance of power. We're evolving into a multi-polar world of potentially shifting alliances that will become a challenge to keep peaceful, so a balance of power may be essential. We can't just rely on luck.
