It's high time for Europe (France included) to play a role on its own. Europe has more and better educated inhabitants than the United States and industries that can make everything, space technology included. On top of all this is a currency that is the stablest and hardest in the world. A Europe going its own way would be reassuring to Russia and calm down the increasing hostility between the U.S. and Russia.
It's high time to stop looking up at the U.S. as the land of opportunity and unlimited possibilities. The U.S. has had its day, but it obviously can no longer cope with its own financial problems, which are threatening the finances of the world.
