    Why don’t you head to the front lines then first Macron? Show everyone what it means to be a big strong man and lead by example

        Given that Putin is a Judo black belt, that would be over pretty quick.

            You’d be surprised how fit old people who do martial arts can be.

              Putin doesn’t look particularly fit tbh. Lately he has been looking a little… off. But he is 71 so no surprises there

      Don’t give him ideas. He’ll go there and do a BHL.

      Surely you’re not referring to the most successful European military in the last 2000 years?

      since the year 387 BC, France has fought in 168 of them, won 109, lost 49 and drawn 10; this makes France the most successful military power in European history in terms of number of fought and won

        France could have won a thousand wars, but they will forever be remembered as the nation that got blitzkrieged in a month and a half because it happened only 84 years ago

          I mean every other nation in Europe did too at the time. Only geography saved Britain. Germany rolled over everything in it’s path in the early part of the war.

          The French made one massive strategic error, fought hard after realising it and were instrumental in holding off the Germans while the British bailed back to the mainland to fight another day.

          I’m tired of the implied reduction of combat capability of the modern French military that comes with a single strategic balls up 80 odd years ago.

      Reactionary and racist. There’s a lot of shit to hate the french on (never use a french professor’s computer) some neo-nazi bullshit aint it.
