Slice?

You slice your pot pies? The frick? Just dig the fork in there and take a bite. Just cause it’s called a pie don’t mean you eat it by slicing it

Was thinking more Russian than China. China’s our problem and I doubt much of Europe would get involved. Matter of fact, some may even side with China due to the economy tank that will happen during a war with China

You sir, need to pay attention in history class

Actually, pretty sure they’re ironically the most powerful European country at the moment. Germany’s still scared of the ghost in the mirror, UK specializes in Navy, duh, and Spec Ops type stuff, and everyone else is everyone else. Lol

France is the only one that’s most prepared for nearby conflict, and honestly I find it hilarious and sad at the same time

I’m gonna question you on the practically liberated themselves

Yes, they kept fighting valiantly against the Nazis after France fell, and yes they did do a good job far as I’m aware, but I doubt that without the meatgrinder of the Eastern Front and Operation Overlord that they’d liberate themselves.

And, just for kicks and giggles, “Retreat? Hell, we just got here!”

-Marine Lore from WWI, said towards a French leader (can’t remember rank) after being told to retreat

Excuse the crap outta me, wanna tell me when this happened so I may open a new Wikipedia tab?

Don’t we only have like a year or two where we weren’t actively at war with someone? Lol. Gotta bump up those rookie numbers somehow right?

They only really started sucking post Napoleon. Napoleon and before they were constantly fighting, and winning a good bit, against Britain for control over Europe and whoever else wanted dominance after Rome fell and Holy Roman Empire became irrelevant. After Napoleon? They’ve pretty much been a joke. Heck, Prussia used Napoleon’s tactics against Napoleon III to secure dominance over Europe and created modern day Germany. Which is to say, they used a crapton of artillery. The most advanced artillery in the world at that. That and they used what was more or less Beta Blitzkrieg, which was evolved from Napoleon’s tactics, which evolved into Alpha Blitzkrieg used in WWI, then Blitzkrieg in WWII, and eventually it turned into American Shock And Awe.

Yes, I have thought about this extensively when bored at work. Lol
