[Alydael]

Not saying you did. Just poking a little fun at the general white flag waiving stereotype of the French at war.

What about preparation?? I am not sure what you are trying to say here.

The common excuse given is that France wasn't prepared for the Blitzkreig. I just really don't think it would have mattered, since Germany had the superior force with better equipment.

[Najnaj]

Oh, I know the French get an unfair reputation in the Anglosphere, to be honest, that seems par for the course, in the Anglosphere, all French are cowards, all Russians are simultaneously hilariously backwards, inept, and poor AND boogeyman threats to world peace, all Greeks are homosexual, all Germans are uptight and anal-retentive perfectionists. Seems to be the mechanism they use for dealing with non-Anglos :P

...and the worst English insult of all came to my native land, Sweden. I heard someone say "They are like Germans, but worse"...

[Gael1]

Oh no, not French troops!

Russia is fuuuuucked.

I mean, France is the nation that got closest to invading Russia, together with germans. But no, let's keep propagating racist and completly unfounded stereotypes which originate from the longstanding rivalry/hatred between the brits and the French, and that for some fucked up reason the entire internet seem to take as truth nowadays, ignoring pretty much the entirety of history.

And lets do that as a Greek-american. Sounds perfectly sane to spread dirty prejudice. I mean it's just harmless fun ! Maybe I'll find some harmless jokes on the Greeks what do you think ?

French troops are some of the toughest in the world, and I'm sick of little shits on the internet disrepecting them or their nation.

Quit your crying and read my exchange with najnaj, then come back and apologize.

[Gael1]

I should apologize ? You were disrespectful. Najnaj called you out for it and you deflected. We all know what you were joking about, don't play stupid.

Not going to waste my time with you.

Nah, you're wrong. I was commenting on how the story is meaningless since troops are always moving around in the EU and NATO.

You went off half-cocked, made a fool of yourself, and now are both too bone-headed and too gutless to man up and admit you were wrong. Run along then. I've never made such jokes about France. In fact, I've pointed out their military history in the past as well. But it was a good bit longer than 59 posts ago.

It's funny, because it seems that the French decided to collectively pussy out after the revolution and Napoleonic Wars.

The instances where the French bent over backwards to appease others are more recent than some wars that occurred a few centuries ago.

[Shalcker]

Isn't that the whole point of the EU? If they aren't going to defend each other- what's the point of the union.

It's economy.

Military defence is just posturing. Plenty of countries can defect from actual defence - Article 5 isn't automatic "declare war".

Will put the USA in a real tough spot if that happens.

It is possible that US would cut their losses there rather then do real conflict with potential for escalation. Hard to predict exactly though.

I don't think Russia will attack Estonia though.

Yep, highly unlikely - which is why such posturing is relatively safe.

Probably more democratic then my country of Australia. It doesn't even matter who we vote for PM, the party removes that person if they don't like them and puts in who they want.
For 12 years now each and every PM we have voted for as the people, were replaced by the elite in their parties. Great democracy we got going on. Though the current PM that party decided to elect isn't too bad, better than the PM who the party decided to elect before they decided to get rid of him. Who replaced the PM that the people actually voted for, who ran against a person that the party decided to replace the last PM. Who replaced the person who was voted by the people but also replaced her afterwards by their party.
If that isn't a confusing enough joke of a democracy then I dunno what is.

Unfortunately this is the problem with Australia and our revolving door Prime Minsters, who would be lucky to serve a full term of which there have been none in the last 10 years or so.. Rudd started the trend who then got backstabbed and replaced with Gillard who then go replaced with Rudd again.. Then we had Abbott who was ousted by Turnbull who then got ousted and replaced by Morrison.. Pretty much Australia is a joke that is for sure..

[Trbn]

And here it is, the view of a rabid nationalist, who thinks that might justifies everything and small nations have no right to exist outside of being lebensraum for the big and might. It is not a surprise that you dont know just how antisemitic the USSR was or don't care, "small people" are below you, right? xD The same USSR which commited genocide in Caucasus (by it's litteral definition), for example, but sure, totally different. Mhm, right... Different words do not make for different deeds.
P.S.
I am from Latvia, we really (and Estonia even less) have not much to do with the Commonwealth. But hey, since you only know how to generalise... And that is not how biology works

stop answering to me lol

I already got that you are insane and delusional and you will try everything to show facts from the side that suits you instead just facing them.

funny though that's the most nationalistic and fashist state in europe trying to play a fair game in 2019

Biggest lie you've ever told, and that's saying something.

I mean, maybe it's not a lie, maybe you literally know nothing about the world.

We don't elect our Prime Ministers, they aren't Presidents. We vote for parties, and they select their leaders. The party can replace them at any time.

If anything we should be putting less emphasis on the executive and more on the actual policies. We don't want to end up with an idiotic cult of personality around the leader like the US has.

Sure our PMs have been a bunch of fuckwits, but let's blame them for their policies, not the theater of pointless leadership battles.

[Self Inflicted Wounds]

Has the EU ever done anything aggressive to Russia?

True it would be nice but it will probably never happen.. And I do know this much the election in May is going to be a pita since both major parties are as useless as each other, so I am not voting for either..

In the eyes of Russia all of those EU countries that sided with Nato are crazy, why all of them ran to papa USA when mama Russia gives only milk and honey and never ever deports your family to siberia ))

In case of war, Russia would just go around the French line from the side. It has worked twice in the past.

Whatever you say, but do go learn history. Not the one pushed by Putin's Russia.

Seeing messages that coup failed, and many major figures that were supposed to support Guaido switched back to Maduro.

So, might be the last day we're seeing Guaido too.
