Around 1,357,800 French troops died in WW1 "defending Paris."
The Manginot line and a lot of hand-wringing in the Anglosphere led to the fall of Paris in 1940.
France is in a difficult location to defend. Poland is, too.
In this current world war, which I see as an extension of the first two, France has the same problems we have defending the Anglosphere and Poland: our cultures are open and naive. Where we think we are superior to France, look again. If France falls, we can all fall.
In this war, I only care about patriots for modern civilization. You can't tell your enemy by his race or his location.
Give me one Frenchman who loves his country over any number of leftist Americans, blue state or red.
With America, it's easy to know about winning. For anyone born after 1940, it's not so easy to know about giving it all for a cause that no one knows can be won.
A lot of French and Poles knew.
Thank you!!!! THAT IS GOOD!!!
