Edit: Why do people ignore this truth about France?

France lost the 7 years war, Napoleon had to abdicate twice, they lost Alsace and Lorraine against some Prussian farmers in 1870, Prussians/Germans took Paris twice in less than 100 years, they had huge losses in WWI, they were fully invaded for 4 years in WWII, and they lost all their Colonies.

If you want to ignore all the facts about French history it's your problem, go read a good book about history before defending the country which only knows to use the white flag🏳️ at every battle. The French military is a disaster.

Actually, pretty sure they’re ironically the most powerful European country at the moment. Germany’s still scared of the ghost in the mirror, UK specializes in Navy, duh, and Spec Ops type stuff, and everyone else is everyone else. Lol

France is the only one that’s most prepared for nearby conflict, and honestly I find it hilarious and sad at the same time

If a country like China would nuke France, I'm sure they will surrender. The problem with France is that they ignore all the precepts of the Art of War by Sun Tzu, that's why they can't resist any major attack. They ignore the military strategy and history.

Was thinking more Russian than China. China’s our problem and I doubt much of Europe would get involved. Matter of fact, some may even side with China due to the economy tank that will happen during a war with China

Russia is one of the main allies of China. If China invades Taiwan, America will intervene, so it will be a war in the Southern Pacific and Eastern Europe. Russia has Nuclear Weapons and if Putin wants to, he can just nuke France, the UK, Germany, or any European country he wants.

You can't compare a superpower like America with France, that's ridiculous.
