But ours is not the point of discussion here.

Oh that's OK then.

For a minute I thought we were on about the monarchy in usa

Do you know what the French did, and sacrificed at Dunkirk?

Did you know the French Air Force bombed Gibraltar in ww2

The French ( scoundrels ) can never be trusted or relied upon when push comes to shove

Any European military plan for the defence of Europe will need to factor in the possibility of the French not turning up ?

Capitulating ?

Or actually fighting along side the invaders ?

is it similar to how they defended Paris ?

French Air Force bombed Gibraltar in ww2

Not entirely accurate. The Vichy French did

The first attack by the French occurred in retaliation for the British strike on the French at Mers-el-Kebir on 18th July 1940 but the majority of bombs were dropped short – little damage was caused but the first casualties occurred. However, a major Vichy French air attack on Gibraltar occurred on 24th September, 1940.
It seems neither side did much damage. Mers-el-Kebar is not a place in France or a suburb of Paris.

Pity if it's a fixed rate.

Pity if it's a fixed rate.

9.5% I think.

Hang about a minute

Usual speil trying to get Europe to spend more off defence would probably entail months of diplomatic negotiations costing millions in shuttle diplomacy a rain forest worth of paper in documentation

Wrangling

Nope

Trump gets up utters a few choice words and it all seems to change

Sorted ??

I was hoping they could up it to 20% or more on the basis that the receivers might move in.

So you don't know, but you keep bumping your gums.

It wouldn't hurt you to find out

I'm guessing all the sensible world leaders, still continue to Trump behind his back. None of them take him seriously and merely endure his petulance for as long as is required. They understand it's a fixed term. You can hear the collective sigh of relief, when he exits anywhere.

Accuracy and truth are of little interest to trans.
