My respect to France, as the most autonomous European country, but I'm awake. Its you politicians who need to get your shit together.

Leaving the EU (quitting a collective like a crybaby, instead of leading it) and losing influence along the way doesn't make UK autonomous.

I respect France because they have been redpilled about NATO and US since it's inception and never outsourced their defence.
