I remember the crash when it happened. And I agree with you on Japan, and the security council.

[Blue Collar Christian]

“... to mount joint peacekeeping missions in conflict zones...”

Starting in France, I guess?

Springtime for Merkel and Germany;

Winter for Macron and France...

[ If there was no greed and if there were no national interests, and if they spoke one language, and if they had a common political heritage, and if they shared a common currency, then there might be a chance they could become a single superpower. ]

The Scripture prophesies pretty much that. The leading politician will be the Antichrist. He will claim to be “God”. Disagree and reject the 666 Mark of the Beast, his False Prophet will have your head cut off.

Germans want the World Cup back.

[SaveFerris]

Not in the face!

[adorno]

Logically, not possible.

If Germany is a power of sorts, and France can’t be classified as any kind of power, and they merge, you get a very weakened merger.

Sort of like what happened with the Sears/Kmart merger. One took down the other, where the other was not doing well to begin with.

[SaveFerris]

yes

[SaveFerris]

That part was just hilarious - Dom Deluise....

[Secret Agent Man]

Franmeny?

Gerance?

[Psalm 73]

Superpower? Puleeze!

Germany has practically no flyable fighters, France has an aging fleet, neither has long-range bombers.
Between them they may have maybe a dozen frigates, and really no other viable capital war ships.
Germany has about 60,000 ground troops (maybe 8 brigades?), France, for its credit has about twice that.

I'm sorry, that in no way, shape, or form constitutes a "superpower".

I give Petain a bit of a pass.

At the time, he knew France had no chance to win, so he figured he’d do the best he could, he was an anti-Bolshevik, and he did buy into the Nazi Propaganda about fighting against Bolshevism. But he was incredibly naïve about the Nazi plans.

[Texas Fossil]

You are correct, but they don’t appear to know it. Or is it just ego talking?

[DesScorp]

The French will Guillotine Macron over this. No way they’ll agree to political union with Germany.

[SaveFerris]

Exactly. That guy was great, BTW.

[Texas Fossil]

Neither quite works, does it?
