Yes, Napoleon was a Corsican player, and French people know what this means (and of course young Napoleon would be on sick leaves all the time, it's the Corsican specialty, their amusing laziness is quite legendary), but in any case, Napoleon was nothing, the Grand Army was everything. And the Grande Armee (the greatest thing the world had ever known since Gengis Khan) was made up, essentially, by French natives.

As to the modern Corsicans, they are now provincially ruled by a nationalist, openly discriminatory assembly, but at the same time, they (less and less though, truth be told) fight against mainland-France nationalists.

Reminds me of another country. Fanatically and intelligently nationalist inside, but (less and less though, truth be told) demanding liberal views for the outside world...

The funny thing is I actually like Napoleon and don't think his Corsican background takes away from the overall French accomplishments during that period, I was just poking fun, as HCE was.

Making America Great Again and making fun of the French go hand in hand. It's as American as apple pie and bald eagles.

No. Fucking. Surprise.

Hollande and Macron have made it clear in their respective administrations that severe un-law and disorder will be tolerated.

Compare this to Sarkozy, both as a government minister and President. As Minister of the Interior in 2005, he called rioting young migrants "scum" and suggested they be blown out of the way by a giant Kärcher (high-pressure water hose).

We are so incredibly fucked as a society when incidents like this are allowed to happen in a country that helped to relaunch Western civilization:

Without even a slither of resistance, this terrorist at Orly disarmed the female soldier.

I don't pretend that being a soldier is easy, but that's the whole fucking point. You're meant to be in the military or police to defend society from evil beasts who want to kill innocents. You have to be as hard as nails or close to it.

And these are the orders being given to the police when attacked by violent leftists (or migrants who refuse to assimilate/illegal immigrants):

The video does work, despite appearing not to.

Drug dealers in France would literally get less of a hard time from many sections of the population in France than the poorly-paid police meant to stop them and the terrorists.

A country where its army is attacked with little recourse and afraid on its home soil, is a country that is occupied.

The terrorist, like most suburban Algerian petty criminals, was an internet-app based driver (VTC chauffeur, probably a Uber Black driver). They have cornered the market for internet-app "high end" chauffeurs, as it allows them to launder money and obtain residency permits.

Should not be made fun of.

France waged war probably every decade plus fought in their colonies so compared to most countries that exist today, French got more victory notches than most, would not be surprised if France was in the top 5 countries that won the most wars in history.

Ahem.

More recently in 1954 at Dien Bien Phu, they surrendered to a corps of illiterate commies who surrounded them with artillery hauled across the hills by hand.

It's normal to lose to the Vietnamese. Even the Americans couldn't win a war in Vietnam.

Of course, the US has lost lots of wars.

The only countries I'm familiar with that have never lost a war are probably Canada, New Zealand and Australia, although I haven't researched the military history of the second two in the list.

I like how Suits has accrued 200 reps and guys are still not familiar with his sense of humor. C'mon, RVF, we can do better than that.

The Viet commies received plenty of US/globalist support through backchannels. De Gaulle wasn't their friend, they wanted France out of Indochina. You also have had the same counterintuitive pro-communist dynamic in China where they supported Mao over Chiang Kai-sheck.

Same dynamic as in the US, BLM, antifa and other professional thugs are sponsored by the deep state. Sarko was from the right wing of the deep state, he was placed by Desmarais and others, he played good cop and posed as a law and order guy while supporting the instigators, using the disruptions for his political gain.
