France gets a bad rep.

Point #1. They are not “surrender monkeys”. Anyone who doubts that should read about the Battle of Verdun and about the evacuation at Dunkirk.

Point #2: George W. Bush slammed France for not participating in his stupid and wasteful invasion of Iraq. As it turned out, France was right and that idiot George W. Bush was wrong.

Point: almost 100,000 French ground troops were killed when the Germans invaded in WWII. So no, they didn’t just roll over and play dead.

Top. Kek.

When you lie about everything including the words “the” and “and” for 20 years...

then you have the nerve to look surprised you can’t pull the moral superiority card to fool the citizens you’ve been trying to replace.

It seems France has a better understanding of the Taliban than our fearless leader dies, who claims they are honorable.

How much do you suppose Biden has promised the Taliban to help get Americans out that he left behind?

Well, there was that Tripoli bombing mission thing! That said, I’d rather deal with a surrender monkey than an OCD freak commie like the guy in charge of this country anyday!

you said: Yes,the German German Wehrmacht & SS said the French defense of Dunkirk (so the British could escape) was the fiercest of any army they faced on either front.

If Saddam wanted to stay in power, all he had to do was to say that he had no WMDs. But if he had said that, he risked getting overthrown by internal enemies in Iraq. Iran might think Iraq is too weak so they would open themselves up for an ivasion by the Iranians.

Actually, seems France has a better understanding than the entire O’Biden administration does!

Why does the government of France hate Islam so much?

“France gets a bad rep.”

I agree - they got the Shiite kicked out of them in WW1 and had to watch while the rest of the world ignored the rise of Hitler when he easily could have been snubbed out.
