Sunset over the Elysée

[Vladimir]

“Another war with England would sort out France” How? England lost the most important (100 Years War, Bouvines, USA) and pretends to win some others (Napoleonic’s one for example, as the Russians say “the English shoot the last bullet and pretend they’ve won”…)

Is this what you were referring to about France being stuck in the past?

France has tremendous potential but lacks the will to be great again. Maybe that will change in time.
