How considerate to have a guy in the corner translating to Italian.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Mama Mia spaghetti carbonara!

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 97 points 11 months ago

Unfortunately, this didn't really happen

[-] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 45 points 11 months ago

Thanks for this. We need a way of flagging satire or misinformation more clearly. I don’t think it’s enough to have it buried in the comment sections.

[-] xye@lemm.ee 25 points 11 months ago

Well. Seeing as this is NCD…

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago

Maybe we should put these types of posts into a community and say that it's non-credible in the name.

[-] bluegreenwookie@bookwormstory.social 6 points 11 months ago

I would say it's obvious satire but then i remembered the reality we live in

[-] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Personally I take everything here very seriously as the community is clearly called credibledefense

France demands a mineral deal and a thank you

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago

The US should be more thankful. And should wear a suit

It only took Haiti 122 years to pay off the French.

Liberte, egalite, fraternite. 😑

Sorry, that deal was made with the French royal family, not the republic. It's null and void.

[-] smac@sopuli.xyz 9 points 11 months ago

It doesn't matter. The debt was repaid in 1795 by James Swan, a banker who assumed the debt from the U.S.

If you transfer debts and loans they're still valid, it's what the ussr Russia exchange did.

[-] yeather@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

The debt was already paid anyways

[-] justahumanonline@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 11 months ago

Start with musk's fortune and go down the wealthiest Americans list.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 27 points 11 months ago

NGL the USA becoming a French Colony would fix 90% of the political issues currently plaguing it.

[-] tempest@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

Eh, it would probably end up like Haiti

I don't think France would want to open up the indemnity/ reparations conversation...

[-] Alloi@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

i mean they did give us democracy, existentialism, and the blow job.....

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

...menage à trois.....soixante-neuf....

But aside from those, what have the French done for us?

[-] Spider2013@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 11 months ago

Baguette, croissant, macarron

[-] El_Scapacabra@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yes, yes, but other than that, what have the French really ever done for us?

[-] Spaniard@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Napoleonic law, the metric system, pasteurization

[-] blujan@sopuli.xyz 6 points 11 months ago

Well, yes, but other than that?

They aren't? They are talking about a loan which has nothing to do with indemnity / reparations.

They financed the US independence movement / war out of self interest to screw on England and any way they got paid with the Quasi-War.

Looking at history the US were never a reliable partnet, cough remember the maine cough.

[-] adhdplantdev@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

Eh only if the use that money to rebuild Haiti

[-] bucketofcandyfloss 4 points 11 months ago
