European Salon de News, Discussion et Klatsch - 8. December | 97 comments (97 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

From what I can make out of the Google garble translation it would appear that there was score settling, class bias, and that Miller attempted, but was frustrated by French officials, to sell the US subsidiary before it blew up. As no good deed goes unrewarded, he, a Belgan, lost his parachute and was instead presented as the sacrificial goat. Did I come close?

It is appalling that Google Translate cannot even properly handle the ne xxxx pas construction of French. Is it entirely vocabulary based?

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Re: More background (none / 0)

Vocabulary based and can't handle accents. I suspect a heavy Anglo bias...
