They think with their butts.
‘would lead us to war’
as if WAR was the worst thing.
John Stuart Mills said:
“
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.
The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight...
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety...
is a miserable creature...
and has no chance of being free...
unless made and kept so...
by the exertions of better men than himself.

What he wants us to do is stab our true allies in the back to placate evil dictators, hoping that they will like us for it. Pretty much the French mindset since they surrendered to the Nazis.
What’s French for “douche?”
Le douche?
Lol.
Ah, the petit new Marshall Petain speaks. But our president rightfully doesn’t give a crap about a French coward. They cost us a lot the last time they took that stance.
He wants war? Ok, lets declare war against France. Call it payback for 1812.
What choo mean “us” brie breath?
Is France fully back in NATO?
Merkels puppet says what?
France courageously advances, waving the white flag!
Grow a pair, Macron, yeah?
I understand the concern...Their countries are being populated and run by our enemies and who knows how long before France and the rest will be on ‘their’ side...Not a pleasant place to be when we get riled up...
The problem is that our policy for the last 30 years has been the choice of "inaction" as Hillary Clinton suggests in regards to the nuclear programs of Iran and North Korea. She defends that because "no war" is the stronger insistence than no nukes. That is why we have the mess we have now and continuing on that path will end with Iran and nuclear tipped missiles that can destroy Israel and North Korea with the same to threaten Japan, South Korea, and the USA.
The problem has been kicked down the road for so long that the policy of "inaction" has now been formalized as some kind of wise choice that has brought peace all these many years. And people actually buy that trash. It is pretty clear now that something bad is going to happen, and the best we can expect is to minimize and localize the bad.
I wouldn't want Trump's job, that's for sure. But at least he seems up to the task.
If the frogs are this worried, then they need to get their troops ready for an all out war. The first and foremost items to requisition would be white flags.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Us? In a war between Saudi Arabia, Israel, a few of the gulf states and probably Egypt and Iran, Russia will want no part of it, what is France's role? They can wait and sell supplies to both sides to rebuild. And if they're concerned about an Iranian nuclear strike, well, it a strike on Israel is no big deal, same for France. Besides, southern France, like Spain and southern Italy is part of the Ummah. They've no reason to complain.
France, engaged in many major wars over the last few centuries, but no demonstrable track record to envy. Other than the luck of having the US intervene a couple times.
Same goes for Western Europe as a whole.
