They have been better friends to the US, than vice-versa.
Just like Britain.
One of the things that DOES get at me, as an American, is just how poor WE have been as "allies."
America goes to war, and, Great Britain is typically at our side.
And yet...during the 20th Century, the United States left ALL our European allies "out to dry," not once, but TWICE.
Then we get pissy because the world doesn't snap to, when we need help.
