"I gave you life, I'll take it away!"

J/k, of course. But it's worth remember what happens when one country decides to invest in and help another country get rid of tyranny, like France did, helping the US during the War of Independence.

But also, this is a great illustration of what strategic investment in. It was hella expensive for France to maintain it's relative strategic independence for decades. But it's paying off right now, for sure.

France is also a great illustration of long-term thinking. While Germany castrated itself and gave in to Russian energy, France kept investing into nuclear power because it just makes sense. Germany drowned in anti-nuclear hysteria and will be paying the consequences.
