Thread: French Military History

Damn felix. I know my history well enough. Its my opinion. So back off. How about I say the french UN members are assholes. We have done soo much more for them then they have done for us. American revolution, ok, thats it. We helped them in WWI and II. And we helped them rebuild after being crushed many a time. Everyone in france is arrogant. They do what they want until they get crushed and then they beg us to help them out. If we do what france wants now, I think it wont just be their *** this time, but the whole worlds ***.

Just my opinion.

As you tell Felix to back off, ´cause it´s your opinion, you should also back off and respect Felix´opinion.
As for calling the french arrogant, same goes for the americans..... They want saddam out of iraq, no matter what... The UN doesn´t agree (at least at this time) yet, so who´s arrogant ???
Sure america is ´super-power´ off the world, but do they rule the whole globe ?? off course not....
To me this is just some ´stupid´ family thing... Daddy Bush started something with the gulf-war I, and his son thinks he has to finish it... nothing more or less....
My opinion (and you should respect that murph) is that America should stick more to themselves than to the rest off the world..... If it would put the money they´re now going to put in the war (talking about more than 140 billion $!!! for the next 5 years) in their own economy you were better off....
I think (and I´m aware I get flamed for this) that if saddam would be left alone, you would hardly notice it.... Sure he´s cruel to his people, but there are enough dictators that are, and they are being left alone.... just ´cause iraq has a whole bunch of oil, america thinks it just have to get that oil..... (eg... look at Cuba for a moment... Fidel reigns that country for over 30 years now... America couldn´t do anything about it, ´cause russia was still a super-power then.... and now.. more than 10 years ago russia collapsed, and Fidel is still in place.... America did nothing against it... why not ? Because they don´t have oil... Same goes for Haiti... also dictator, but no ´wealth´ so America just leaves it alone.... )

Ok. maybe I´m a little exagerating (spel...sorry.. just got out off bed, early, and had to say something) here, but same goes for you.... Just trying to point out here that the public opinion here in Europe isn´t the same as on the other side of the atalantic.

Greetz,

America is the land of free speech and democracy. Do the right thing and respect that other people's opinions may differ from your own. By all means have your own opinions, but be decent enough to be tactful and considerate.

So the World War II was won only by the US…
No mention to the URSS ? UK ? French ?

I think history book are not the same on each country…

By the way I don’t accept that you don’t respect actual German people…

What was the cause of the World war II ?

As I see not only the actual president of the US think he is the most intelligent person on earth…

50% of the US citizen are again a war without the ONU agreement?

Sorry that you legitimate the genocide that the US is doing on the Irak country…

Greetings from your mother contry…Europe!

i don't know if anyone knows the real reason why France is trying to stop this war.. but there is a France + Sadam connection. France has like a 60 billion dollar deal with sadam .. yes sadam.. not iraq.. but sadam to develop oil fields in southern france. So all this crap i hear about france saying we are doing this just for the oil.. well they are trying to stop this just for the oil. If they crashed a plane into anything in france.. i'm sure they'd be singing a different song.

You got any url with info about this connection, and who crashed planes? saddam or bin laden?

Just to throw a couple of links out there about France and Russia oil companies....
