"The truth is that the Americans will eventually make themselves hated by everyone, even by their most unconditional allies. All the manipulations the Americans imagine are contradicted by events."

"See, even in NATO, which the Americans built with their own hands, which is their thing, have you seen that? The NATO parliamentarians declare that the Multilateral Force is nothing but a big joke. The truth is that the Americans will end up being hated by everyone. Even by their most unconditional allies. The Multilateral Force would be one more trick. All the tricks that the Americans imagine are denied by events. It is more and more true. Look at their so-called détente."
— Charles de Gaulle, November 6, 1963,
Hint: That's the current government of France to this day. To me, that is a liberal democracy.
I would recommend reading "When France Fell" for more context on de Gaulle. You are talking about a complicated figure. I also would point out that he faced attempts on his life for getting France out of the former colony of Algeria.
What does this mean?
Who's everyone?
