"Seuls les Américains peuvent blesser l'Amérique"
— Dwight D. Eisenhower

Simplified Meaning:
The idea is that the biggest threats to a country often come from within, not from outsiders. For example, if people in a company aren't working together well, the company might fail. It's not usually because of competition from other businesses, but because employees inside the company are not getting along or making poor decisions. Similarly, a country might struggle more because of internal problems like division, corruption, or poor leadership. People living in that country have the power to either build it up or bring it down by the way they act and the choices they make. This suggests that everyone should try to work together, respect each other, and make positive choices to help their country succeed.
