Paradoxically, European countries are so scary of Obama that they prefer to be in the red rather than defend their interests and risk their good relations with the USA. Germany, Bulgaria, France ..... The litany of European losers is too long to place it here.

You know there are some South Korean firms which have decided to refrain from concluding new contracts with France "for a while". I myself was engaged in some preliminary paper work for these contracts to be concluded. You see, South Korea is far from being a Russia fan but I'm absolutely sure they made their conclusions after that discouraging story with the French vessels of Mistral class. They just can't trust us as they used to before that Mistral scandal! That's what I'm feeling now!
The recent news is that India is threatening now to break its contracts with the French company Dassault to supply Rafal military jets to India. It's just snowball reaction imo.
