I cannot believe how stupid this is. What do they learn in school? And if you don't know things, why don't you shut the fuck up?
20-25 million people from nations all over the world died fighting against the Nazis. The US didnt even show up for years after it started. They sat and watched everyone else fight and die.
REPORTER: So, just to clarify—your position is that France owes its entire existence to the United States?
LEAVITT: Absolutely. If it weren’t for the U.S., the French would be speaking German right now. That’s just a fact.
REPORTER: Interesting. Because if it weren’t for France, we wouldn’t even have the United States. Ever heard of the American Revolution? France bankrolled it. Sent troops. Fought Britain on multiple fronts. And, oh yeah—gave us the Statue of Liberty as a symbol of freedom. Do we only acknowledge history when it’s convenient?
LEAVITT: Well, the United States has been the beacon of global freedom—
REPORTER: Right, and who gave us the actual beacon? The French. And let’s not forget, France won World War I before the U.S. even entered it. So by your logic, does that mean Americans should be thanking the French for not speaking German in 1918?
LEAVITT: That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying—
REPORTER: Also, if we’re going down this road—how about the Louisiana Purchase? You know, that huge chunk of land that doubled the size of America? Bought it from the French. Are we sending them a thank-you note?
LEAVITT: Look, I think we’re getting off track here. The point is—
REPORTER: The point is, we didn’t just swoop in and save the day while France sat around waiting. Nations cooperate, trade, and yes, sometimes even rescue each other.
