France isn’t in NATO is it. Something having to do with being surrender monkeys.

Russia could attack one of their enclaves. I’d say sink a ship in New Caledonia. Send a message to the world, not just the French.

France is very much in NATO, being one of the 12 founding membor countries that helped create it in 1949.

FRANCE IS IN NATO.

Omg, at least google something before you post it.

This is a Continental European Power deploying Soldiers in the field against Russian Regulars.

This is the sort of Idiocracy that leads to World Wars.

Yes, France is in NATO. They kicked NATO out of France for basing, but they are very much members. And it’s very uneducated to call the French soldiers cowards. Their government has its issues, but French soldiers are damn good. Probably the best in Europe by far. In World War I they had far more deaths than the British, in World War II they suffered about the same amount of casualties as we did in Vietnam in the six week battle for France. The British fled the battlefield. In Singapore the British surrendered to a Japanese force 1/3 its size .

The French are definitely not cowards. But in this case they are dumbasses, as they have been many other times. In this case is a classic example of the lunacy of the French government.
