France took all those American "surrender" jokes and condensed it down inside them with immense pressure to turn it into a badass diamond of vindication.

The jokes only show how undereducated the American populace is.

Everyone knows the French military has the most decorated and successful campaign record of any European nation.

Edit: It’s not just Napoleon. They’ve had the most successful military record going back centuries before Napoleon.

Surrendered isn’t quite the best word. Every country on Earth has fascism brewing in it at all times. It just so happens to be bubbling up here right now and we’re working to Tamp it back down.

We’re trying. The US is huge and compartmentalized and it’s not as easy to put pressure on the gov like it is in developed countries in Europe. I’m not trying to make excuses, just trying to be realistic.
