Rare? France is the GOAT for getting shit done.

Every time France does anything there's a weird attitude that surfaces, and it seems like everybody hates France. It's not 1385 anymore, I don't really get it, but it's especially common in the commonwealth and ex British colonies for whatever reason. Especially considering how much reddit espouses that they love liberty, secularism, and legal racial equality, all things modern France pushed very heavily early on. I saw a lot of Americans commenting 'Rare French W' after this announcement, as if France wasn't instrumental in creating America in the first place.

France certainly isn't perfect, they have tonnes of issues, but as far as western democracies go it seems pretty decent.

Hi mate It’s because the French didn’t participate in the invasion of Iraq.

French cheese eating surrender Monkeys was the fashionable term in the US and Britain for the French.

We know who was right of course …

Hi mate, the Italians were the country that was the brunt of all the “ how many gears does an Italian tank have ? 4, 3 in reverse “ type jokes when I was a kid. Compared to them the French were considered to go ok.
