4 France is a joke.
In the past 100+ years, have the French gotten anything right?

10 well Xi's niece is doing just fine with residency in both the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands and Trump making no effort to block her from buying oil. ... 2.8 trillion $ makes her a rich girl.

11 One lacks the French subtlety for surrender, no?
