      They aren’t? They are talking about a loan which has nothing to do with indemnity / reparations.

      They financed the US independence movement / war out of self interest to screw on England and any way they got paid with the Quasi-War.

      Looking at history the US were never a reliable partnet, cough remember the maine cough.
