When France talks about a Multi
polar system ,
US talks about a US way of life
System ‘I did it my way’
Slide105 :
France , used to heavy
Administrative powers , refers
to UN as a Moral authority ,
US , heavily individualistic,
vetoes any UN security
Council resolutions.

FR passes laws to ban religious
references ,
US makes of religion a strong
support of US causes.
The president swears on the Bible.
.
Slide108 :
France is looking for a cultural
alliance with GB to pose as an
obstacle to
US Hegemony in EU countries.
Slide109 :

FR and GY have built
a Strong partnership against
US.
Slide114 :
QUESTION
What are the chances of
Germany reconciling with
US over the EU market
territory ?
Slide115 :
:UK v/s US Convergence
1763 Boston Tea Party
Break away of American from
British Domination.
However , UK converges,
culturally, towards their Parent
country US,
.
Slide116 :
:.
H.Macmillan , ex-prime minister
1960-64 acquired the obsolete US
missiles against its public
opinion.
Mrs Thatcher and president
Reagan applied one economic
monetary policy:
MILTON FRIEDMAN’s
Slide117 :
Recent involvement of UK in
Iraq war opposed by UK public
opinion is another proof of the
determination of UK in favour
of US.
Despite this , Mr Blair was re-
elected in May 2005.
Slide118 :
GB exported her Culture and
religions to US and later
snatched off Canada from
France. Her cultural preference
is deeply hooked in N.Americas.
Slide119 :
QUESTION
Is UK becoming the Trojan
horse of US in Europe ?
(Remember ‘La guerre de Troie’
where the Greeks disembarked
their soldiers from a Wooden
Horse )
Slide120 :
SP v/s US Volte face
Spain is politically pro-Arab from
her acquisition of a Moorish
Culture in the 12th Century under
the Omeyyades caliph culminating
with the Moorish architecture of
Cordoue and Alhambra sites.
Slide121 :
SP persecuted Sephardi
Jews (séfarade) in the

US is a home for Ashkenazi
Jews ( ashkénaze).
Slide122 :

of nationalism :
Iraq (root of most

under US fire sincec1991.
Iran (cradle of Indo-
European culture) is under US
threat.

years ago.
.
Slide126 :
QUESTION
Finally , Spain has quitted Iraq.
Does it mean, for Spain, getting
closer to European integration
as an alternative to US support.
Slide127 :
Nordic v/s US Indifference
The Nordic Group is very
independent from US or EU
hegemony.

negotiators(Oslo treaty With
Israel/Palestine, Hans Blik
mission in Iraq) .
Slide130 :
.
As a Neural bloc ,they will not
offend US but they have a
Cultural preference for EU.
When EU constitution will
become in force , their definite
choice should be EU.
Slide131 :
QUESTION
Do you believe that the Nordic
countries are matured enough to
commit themselves fully to EU rules
and regulations of the Constitution,
which is aiming at creating a
European market rim to compete
US intrusion into EU market?
