I never said we won all our war, I said we won the most war in History… If you want the complete list of modern France war History:

and for the Kingdom of France:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_Kingdom_of_France

so yeah France loves war and is good at it…

Have you heard Macron speech? No more red line after the IRBM use on Ukraine… France has fought and won more war in History than any other country on the planet. It’s a country of Warmonger :). Don’t underestimate French aggressive soul, Even after Hitler won, he failed to break the country war eager needs :). The French nuclear doctrine reflect that. It’s the only warning shot doctrine: Even if France is not threaten, but it feels threaten, the nuclear doctrine says to use a small nuke on the country France think is a threaten to ask it to calm down before bigger nuke are used.

So to answer your question, yes is very well prepare to be the one that will enter the History as the one who triggered the nuclear war…

in 2023 Russia military spending was $84bn, even without US, EU spending is bigger (even French+UK alone is bigger)… and because of EU article, as I said it has a big chance to be a nuclear war and on nuclear war the important part is Air Defense saturation… As I said each submarine can send 160 nuke… Even if Russia can intercept 159 warhead (which is discutable since Russia was not even capable of intercepting an old URSS drone that hitted a building at Moscow), if those 160 warhead target moscow, 1 nuke succeeding is enough to deal huge damage on the city. Russia will replicate and it’s over for EU…

But that’s only submarines nuclear capability. France is a big country, not as big as Russia, but big nonetheless. France kept a lot of it’s historic territories from when the country was a colonial empire: Guyana and in south america, Caraibes in central america, Saint-Pierre de Miquelon in North America (both very close to USA, very dangerous to send nuke there), Mayotte and Reunion in Africa, Wallis and Futuna and French Polynesia in the Pacific (not that far away from China, sending nuke there from Russia can be dangerous too…).

thos territories also have nuclear capabilities.

you know that EU has an equivalent of NATO article 5:

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/meetdocs/2009_2014/documents/sede/dv/sede200612mutualdefsolidarityclauses_/sede200612mutualdefsolidarityclauses_en.pdf

and which countries are about to join EU? Ukraine and Moldova. So even without US, nuke have a good chance to rain all over the old continent…

delivery system? France can send Nuke from ICBM, submarine (from all over the world) and Rafale (which can take off from French aircraft carrier which also mean nuke can be send from all over the world…). De Gaulle built the France defense without US because he though that the next French war would be against US not Russia and all president after him kept that strategic independence from US for the same reason… Russia-French friendship and French distrust in US was still strong until Russia invaded Crimea leading to the cancellation of Mistral ships and the beginning of tension between both countries.

So Yes, if a Nuclear War start between Russia and France, as a said, both countries would be vitrified and we will be all dead…

you forget that France and UK both have Nuke too… For France 1 launch from a submarine lead to 160 nuke warhead on Russia in case of war…

I will not cry because when it will happen, their are only 2 outcomes:

• Russia is demilitarize so fast by NATO countries that the country will not be able to do much (that outcome has even been told by Putin himself in 2023 as the reason Russia has no chance against NATO)
• Both countries use their nuke and we will be all dead in a beautiful bang :)

in both outcome Russia loose

not what I say, what I say is NATO soldiers are not on the frontline fighting Russia and unlike what Putin says, he really not want to start that war with NATO…

As a c/NonCredibleDefense member I’m not offended by your message, I laughed a lot while writing that “essay”… but the fact that you are diverting from the question on why NATO country lives in peace without consequence while Russia spend 3 years saying they are at war with NATO and threatening of nuclear retaliation while doing nothing (not even a non nuclear missile or a bomb on NATO territory) tells a lot about the fact that you can’t answer…

The mismatch between what Putin says and what Putin does is so big that instead of using his IRBM on NATO soil to proof that he has to be taken seriously, Putin used it on non NATO soil which lead to more NATO help to Ukraine next Tuesday… And Putin will continue to threaten but will do nothing against NATO countries… I can bet a lot on that… So much for the not so strong leader that is Putin… XD

And Putin does nothing and passively let himself victimize by those same NATO country… All he does are empty threat since after 3 years of threat, NATO country still lives in peace like nothing is happening. So much for the strong leader that Putin try to show… Or maybe being a carpet for NATO boots is being strong in Russia culture…

oh sorry, I commented on a lemmy.ml post that drink russian propaganda… Sorry to bother… But I have one question. If NATO was really on the frontline, why NATO leader are so eager to not openly enter war with Russia to the point where it took 3 years for them to greenlight the target of Russian territory? That like fighting with an hand in the back, that would be bad strategic decision… If really NATO is in the frontline why no Rafale or F-22 in the sky? If NATO is at war with Russia, why not attacking from Finland or Baltic states to flank the army? If NATO is at war with Russia, why after 3 years there are no Nuke in the sky from both side?

so if India use their bought Rafale to attack Pakistan or China that bring France at war with those countries? Of course not… And for Ukraine it’s the same…
