While the United States is contemplating new sanctions against Russia for aggression in the Crimea, one of our NATO allies, France, is preparing to sell advanced helicopter assault ships to Russia.  Apparently the Rooskies have never heard the joke, why do French Admirals sail on glass bottom boats? So they have a good view of their fleet! But I digress.

The French have a reputation for surrendering quickly, but they refuse to back down on the deal. What an odd time for France to grow a backbone. Apparently, France has to sell a lot of over priced wine, cheese, and elevator rides on the Eifel Tower to make up for a $1.2 billion weapons cancelation.  

 

My name is E. Curtis Johnson. With friends like the frogs, who needs enemies? However, things could be worse. One of our strongest and oldest allies produces mass quantities of one of the deadliest substances on the planet.  Fortunately, even the Russians wouldn’t buy English food!
