France was only a historical power because their population dwarfed everyone else in Europe for centuries, and they were arguably the first political "nation-state"

The french since their 1871 defeat have been pushovers

Now that Iran has been sidelined, I think the Saudi's will still be in the US sphere. They will compete with several nations over the Chinese market, but they still need and want US military tech.

Ok? The why of it does nothing to disprove the fact that France has historically been one of, and, at times, the preeminent land power in Europe, which was the assertion made, and disputed, in the exchange I responded to. Thanks though.

It’s time for us to mind our own business and let Europe fight its own fight.

People laundering money through Ukraine don’t want the war to end. It’s not surprising at all.

Everyone knows Europe fricked up by taking in too many migrants. There is no grand conspiracy to hide the obvious. If Russia would stop bullying their neighbors (Baltic/Scandinavian states more recently), no one would have a problem with them.




I disagree. Those countries banded together because they were on the outside looking in with regards to nato and eu. Needed an alliance.


Plus we bully not just neighbors in our hemisphere, but rt up to Russia’s border.

Europe wants to break up Russia into 5 parts and use the husk of the old country to provide western Europe with boatloads of natural resources and become the leading international power in the world again like they were 500 yrs ago.

This has been their plan for 30 yrs.

Is SFP coming around to the idea that Trump is the only thing that can save us from WW3?

Why do the French want WW3 when they did everything they could to not participate in WW1-2? Hey you beret wearing pedos, fighting now does not undo your years of being absolute pussies. We all know you aren't going to actually fight anyway.


This quote confirms you are the least intelligent poster on this board.

France was absolutely 100% heroic in WW1. No western democracy ever suffered in a war like France did in WW1. Honestly, it broke them after taking a massive beating.

Numerous times it was thought the war was lost and time after time they got off the mat and fought back Germany.

This is not going to go well for France. Trouble is France thinks they can goad Russia to come out for a fight. Russia will simply stay where they are and wait. History has shown what happened to Napoleon and Hitler.

Because they were fricking off a lot of nations in africa and stealing their resources and those nations went out and brought in russian pmc's to protect them against the french armies and getting better deals for their resources. While they have been kicked out of many countries in the Sahel they are still doing something similar in Rawanda where they have given them a lot of weapons to go across the DRC border and steal their resources. But you wont read about this in USA media and people on Facebook wont put their flags on their profile.

These people are fricking insane. I know Putin isnt a "good guy", but I really believe that the reason that they hate him so much is because he represents the exact opposite of what they do. Putin doesn't push their globohomo agenda. He supports the Orthodox Church and the patriarchy. I really believe that if they push Putin far enough there is a good chance that he shoots of a Nuke. I think a country could get away with shooting one Nuke without other countries retaliating because of the fear of setting off Armageddon. I know it sounds insane, but we live in insane times. With politicians claiming that "Peace will lead to War."

I'm now openly cheering for Russia. Tried to order a Russian Soccer track jacket today but it turned out to keep saying "error" when I added it to my cart.

I don't think that it is out of the realm of possibilities that America ends up allying with Russia if Europe keeps heading in the direction that is. Despite all the open hostility we may show to each other on the World stage. We have always kept an open dialogue with them in back channels. We also work cordially with them on the ISS. Even catching rides from Russia to the ISS.

So like the largest military in Europe?


You think that is a brag? European armies are pathetic. England hardly has any functional tanks. We all know without the US stepping in giving Ukraine unlimited weapons, air defense, and targeting information for their drones and missiles, they would have been defeated the first year. Don’t act like Ukraine is fighting Russia with no help. The only thing Ukraine is supplying is men to die.
