The French are losing their shit and no one seems to understand why. The French have maintained a remnant empire in Africa to this day, it is finally collapsing and African nations are pushing them out, dropping the Franc etc. So now they are trying to be the big dog in NATO but doing so with words, no real actions.

My Great Uncle who was a SSG in WWII told me, we had a joke about the French. Their tanks had 5 gears but 4 were in reverse.
