A The United States is far from Europe, protected by the Atlantic

E The United States does not need as much protection from Germany as France does.

Regarding the impact of World War I, Clemenceau is suggesting that the United States and the United Kingdom are safer than France, because of the Atlantic, since not even Napoleon was capable of crossing the sea in order to conquer Britain, while France is much more vulnerable due to its vicinity to Germany, and so the impact of war would be heavier on France than UK or US.
