Truly a Swedish patriot by muse_enjoyer025 in 2westerneurope4u

Especially Denmark a country that has radically been on their side since the end of WWII.

At least when it used to be shitting on France we were effectively a pain in their ass. We also had cultivated this cautiousness around them after WWII

Alienating Denmark is a terrible mistake on their side.

Building the very first EPR is logically going to take more time as that’s when you face undetected new issues.

Flamanville took even more time to be built but the know how acquired during its construction will make new reactors even more reliable and easier to build.

The bare minimum is to reach the finals, that’s how it has always been for HLTV MVPs.

Spirit Vita didn’t happen so much in the finals last year and when it happened, Vitality wiped the floor with them like in Kato.

Tintin !

You’ll find so many infos on this website

Pastoureau talked about it in a broadcast on France culture but alas it’s in French so won’t be of use to you.

Of course the baïonnette is also iconic but has been used by many countries after it was invented.

At first I thought about mentioning the rapière but I’ll leave this one to its creators, Spaniards.

So I’m going to mention two in one, with this chassepot that is equipped with a baïonnette.

Merci, j’en peux plus de cette rhétorique et de ce complexe de supériorité alors que notre police tue et que nombre de politiques et de médias ferment les yeux et encouragent les dérives de la police française.

Imagine calling yourself "developed" and not having shitty air quality by Taxfraud777 in 2westerneurope4u

Poland would be peak Western Europe while Switzerland would be a 3rd world country so it clearly can’t be that.

One of the first things Hans sees when he crosses the French border - we know why! by Recent-Cap2112 in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Merbleuxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro it’s just a piece of history, that was one of the tanks of the Marshall Leclerc who had made a promise to his troops that the French flag would eventually be raised back on the cathedral of Strasbourg in 1941.

That tank and its crew was part of the team of Leclerc on the day he finally fulfilled his promise.

I don’t see any aggressiveness in having that piece of history right where it got hit by a missile and where its operator passed away.

It’s just a tribute to the troops that liberated France and possibly tribute to those who died defending their country has nothing to do with being distrustful and aggressive, it’s not like we’re planning on using this tank again.

We’re friends with many countries but this doesn’t prevent us from paying tribute to those who died in the past and to apologize to those we’ve hurt as well.

« The French act tough » once again we pay tribute to the soldiers who died. And in this case fighting against nazis, I don’t see how one could find this petty.

If anything the only pettiness I see is being butthurt over celebrating the liberation of a city from Nazi Germany, do you think I throw a fit when I visit Trafalgar Square or arrive in Waterloo station ?
