#SocietiesAreNotStatic —There are no #permanentEnemies, nor #permanentAllies.
There was a time when #Puritan #America (#English #Protestant, with a disdain toward #monarchy) and #Catholic #France (with an absolute monarchy) were #mortalEnemies.
That changed in Feb 1778 when #US and France agreed to a #perpetualAlliance.
In 2003, #GeorgeWBush threw France under the bus, repudiating #French intelligence regarding absence of #WMDs in #Iraq, and lied his way into an unnecessary & illegal war.
