Not a single thing you posted (ranted?) about changes what I said about the French (I am part French, so get over it already!). I don’t disagree with Brits also being arrogant, but that doesn’t change the facts, either. Maybe the French military does have their act together, I don’t know, I didn’t witness them in the sandbox, but their politician’s attitude in general is what I said it was. You sound like a ‘Francophile’ so I doubt your openmindedness. I notice when you took that stroll down history lane you didn’t mention their actions in WWII, but I guess that didn’t fit your saintly image of them. If we didn’t go to war against the germans, they’d STILL be speaking german in France.
Nevertheless, I maintain what I said: let them have the new UN, pony up the cash, and tell themsleves that they still matter. (and you can contune to love them if you wish - I don’t give a rip)
Absolutely amazing how blockheaded some uneducated like you can be. Your knowledge of the French is extremely limited and obviously confined to the propaganda of the French haters. No different than the America haters which we are well acquainted with.
