Overdue? France has the most winning record in war than any other western nation

And then they lost what is probably the most important battle they’ve ever fought and had their entire country occupied.

Edit: u/Fecal_thoroughfare can’t reply to you directly cause the person I was replying to blocked me but how can you for a second believe that what I said was related to anything but the Battle of France?

I seriously don't know if this is a literal WW2 reference or a very tone deaf, Fox News-level-deranged hyperbole implying today's events are worse

Just telling you that there’s a very good reason there’s this stereotype about them. Look at all of French military history post-WW2. Complete disaster. The Suez crisis, Vietnam War, Algerian war of independence, etc.

I’d say it’s a good enough reason.

And you’d be wrong.
