Rachel PETE is hosting. Why wouldnt you watch PETE well see I will try not to mess it up on to this story as well. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken will travel to Paris this week in an attempt to patch up Americas. Strained relationship with France comes AI, had mid criticism over our countrys submarine deal with Australia and the controversial withdrawal from Afghanistan, french media even running a cover story, one magazine entitled the suicide of America. The magazine quote: blamed Americas retreat from Afghanistan on quote a woke dictatorship and questioned whether the american Empire is collapsing here to react. Former member of European Parliament, Nigel Farage, so great to see you were not used to seeing France critiquing our culture. They are quite robustly right now. What do you make of this? Is America exporting woke politics across the pond and are they right good morning? Well, of course, the French are
always quite critical of the Americans. In the sense they can never forgive you for saving them in World WAR Ii. An odd piece of Galic psychology- I just dont know so it is not easy to begin with the submarine deal which has been struck by the USA, the UK, with Australia, that is, to give Australia 21st century submarines with nuclear reactors in the back, not the diesel ones. The French wanted to give theyre a little bit sore. However, when it comes to the point about woke and cancel culture. Yes, im afraid this stuff was invented in the USA and it is being exported to Western Europe. The further criticism about theyre asking a question is this: the end of the American Empire lets be frank about this bidens calamitous withdrawal from Afghanistan removed America from the world
stage, and with that much respect that people had for the country. I think on that point the last two points. The French actually got something quite serious to say: PETE, I think im missing it too youre saying the reverberating effect of what happened in Afghanistan has shaken our allies to the core. This whole belief, America, will see things through well, be there. Yes PETE, they said Donald Trump would blow up alliances, didnt Joe Biden. Instead, Trump would never have left unless a proper deal had been struck between the afghan army and the Taliban that wasnt in place. So yes youre quite right, it was Donald Trump that was going to ruin. Nato t was Donald Trump that was going to make America isolationist. He did the opposite. He was out there campaigning for peace, the Abraham Accords, the fact he visited crossed the line. North Korea showed you. He wasnt a warmonger president,
trying in foreign policy terms to do good things with american power, now Biden unilaterally withdrawn from Afghanistan, but frankly from the world. I say this to you on the morning when we have learned there was a very large incursion of chinese communist jets over Taiwan. Yesterday, you can see the world is not in a great place and we now dont have under Bidens Premiership the leader. We so desperately desperately need. Pete. So well said, Nigel, the continent of Europe gave us socialism, and we gave you wokism.
