Next time maybe we let the French get out of their own problems.

Contrary to the incessant French bashing here they do have forces very capable and are pretty steady in use

They rescue folks in Africa far more than we do due to their proximity and familiarity and I guess noblesse oblige

They recently saved the entire nation of Mali from being overrun by Al Quada bands

Their fast response expeditionary groups are top shelf

They placed I believe three battalion air armor and light infantry combined groups in Mali from France Chad and Coite de Ivoire in 72 hours with companies on site in less than 24 hours when the capital of Mali was 48 hours from sure defeat

And the French Foreign Legion is about as professional disciplined a group of 7-8000 man fighting force you’ll find anywhere

Just saying

Yes their politics aside from the LePens often sucks

They do however still prize their distinct culture unlike us where ours is being destroyed by the uniparty and woke totalitarianism

As for Taiwan that will be settled in time and it’s not really their fight

And I hate to break it to you but some sort of drawn out deal is far more likely that a war with China over it at this point

These are just my observations
