#4 I don't know why we continue to do business with the French. The French elites have been obstructionist and anti-American since WWI. They have nothing to offer but grief and frustration. Isolate them and let them sink. Place our bets on the East European countries that, if they can get past the corruption, actually advance our interests. Besides, both California and Australian wines are better than the French, Italian and Spanish wines anyway.
