      It is so weird to see anyone from the US try to claim that the French didn’t have the guts to fight fascism.

          In your defense, my (french) mother made pretty much exactly the same joke when she saw this clip on bluesky - something about going back to their paddock like the stereotypical vichy pigs they are.

            There’s the difference, like our maga red hats are a loud insane minority. Otherwise, we literally wouldn’t exist as a nation without the French providing gold and ships just to give England a “fuck you,” and they have been winning wars since before America was a country.

              Honestly think the French hate was/is a psychops.

              If you was rich and in power and wanted to maintain control would you really want your people to like the country that is known for killing the rich and powerful?
