How is France going to defend against the Mohammedan hordes once they take advantage of the fact that the French military is indeed broken?

The Mohammedans are going to completely annihilate French society within 10 years.

It will be a nasty, bloody war with lots and lots of native French folks being murdered in the streets by the Mohammedans.

Absolute destruction is coming to France. Sad and terrible as it may be, it is coming.

You know, many many organizations, offices and businesses in France are criminally incompetent. It’s a top down thing, unfit middle managers unable, and unwilling, to adapt to change, or to even work. It’s unreal and exasperating.

In WWII the French successfully held the Italians back in the south, even as they were being overwhelmed by the Germans elsewhere.

In Egypt, the military operation was a complete success, but as in Vietnam (the american experiance) they were defeated by politics back home. More specifically, they, Israel and Britain caved in to American pressure, leaving Nasser in power in egypt and the west look weak and divided, leading to the eventual collapse of pro-western governments and values in that part of the world and the eventual rise of the likes of Saddam Hussein and the mullocracy in Iran...

While no lover of things French I'll add they did have an Armored Regiment that fought with coalition forces in the first Gulf War.

And since hind sight is 20/20 most need to be reminded that right up until the ground war started the coalition forces thought it would be a hard battle with many casualties.
