Typical power settings during cruise and other phases of flight

As a corporate pilot who spends a lot of time in Europe I can attest that
the French controllers speak MUCH better English than the English
controllers.

Further, Dassault makes the finest corporate jets available, especially from
a pilot's perspective.

What? France is no further behind the US than any other European
country, and certainly not by "30 years" (whatever that's supposed to
mean).

They are all behind the U.S.; but France also has the handicap of its
insistence on doing everything its own way, plus its inability to
speak English.

It's still the center of the aviation world, and the leading edge of
aviation as well. Europe is a backwater by comparison, as in most
domains.

I've heard that French controllers are derisively referred to as
"keskeedees," because they are always saying "Qu'est-ce qu'il dit?"
("What did he say?") in the background to their colleagues when
guiding aircraft in English.

The same is true for the United States.

We can speak English. Well, we can speak

This is hogwash. There is not a single American over the age of 30 who
doesn't remember the "Hanging Chad" election!

And I bet there's not a single American over the age of 40 who doesn't
remeber the "Read My Lips" election.

Remembering the American Revolution incident, however, stopped being a useful
memory to most living Americans after about 1977.

And a few of us chanted:

End the freeze,
Bring Nixon to his knees"

In our youth.

An inability to speak English is not a problem for the U.S., and since
it represents most of the market, doing things its own way also tends
to be doing things the majority way.

What French exceptions?

Everything.
