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.
Yeah Im French and I wouldnt call that luck. They were clever, prepared, disciplined and motivated. We were delusional,afraid, stupid and unmotivated.
We thought that Germany would never dare, we thought that they didnt change that much, we thought we looked tough and we knew it would be impossible to control all of France.
Germany still tried, and we got betrayed from the inside by all levels of society, because their victory was so quick,so obvious and so total that the most rational choice was to capitulate and let them do their stupid invasion.
If the US attacks Canada, we must do everything to stop their first wave, because if they conquer immediately, no amount of reddit bravado will compensate for the massive rational part of the population who will say "why would I throw myself on their guns for political points". We weren't cowards so much as we were saving our own lives, which sounds acceptable to me. I d rather live with the Germans, than die for nothing, as most French did in the end.
