France is run by a bunch of unrealistic, idealistic idiots. They are on the wrong side of almost everything.

They don't manufacture weapons systems to defend their own country - they depend on the USA to do that. Instead they manufacture weapons to sell to the Chinese that will be used to kill Americans if they attempt to defend Taiwan from a mainland invasion.

Then again, who am I to talk? Every toy my children own has "Made in China" on the bottom.

Talk about feeding the crocodile...

I have heard here that French stuff is junk, so this should be good for america. You only have to deal with french junk weapons.

Stop buying Chinese stuff and they wont have the money to buy as many foreign weapons and you may get some jobs back too.

We will never go to war with China. It would interrupt WalMart's supply chain.

Yeah, with all those US Military installations we have in France?

Of all of the EU, France is the one that is least under the US defense umbrella.

As to lifting the EU Arms ban, that's probably going to hurt the Russians a hell of a lot more than anyone else.
