For so long France relied on Religion/Politics/Military to float its boat over the world in the Age of Colonisations.

But since Germany 'folded' with these three and gave up the 'Holy Ghost' by breaking its 'Cross' (Swaztika: the broken cross) upon Judaism and took on more 'European' agendas. Things have been moving towards France's turn.

Already, Britain has EXITED from the EU, other nations are moving to do so also, like Sweden.
Also, nations are 'exiting' from the Paris Agreement.

In fact, you will find that 'everyone' will soon 'exit' from anything to do with France.

Islam is looking for a 'sacrifice' (to get back Religion to the Middle-East) and with every nation taking a step back and leaving France out in front: The MESSIAH to die for Europe's sins, is coming. Only when Islam gets that 'sacrifice', will it then - relinquish all 'Empire' acts (like Terrorism) and pass the buck to Israel.

This is the coming of the Fall of France (as it once was).
Remember, when it came to Military - the French failed to conquer Moscow. But its 'Sporting' aspect, managed to succeed and win the World Cup there.
Something lost is something gained.
So I wish France all the best. But holding onto the past and especially something that never belonged to them, does have its side-effects.

Islam is coming France and 'no-one' will help you.
You want to play Top Dog in Politics and have 'your' language as 'equal' as the UN language ...then lets see you back it up, if you think its worth 'fighting' for! 

Let it begin!

When I read the title of this thread, I thought for a moment you were talking about the Nazi capitulation of France.
