quelle mauvaise foi !
tell me brillant “fort-en-gueule” what war you won since WW2 ?
um, Viet-Nam –> fleeing away !
Cambodge –> genocide
Somalia –> a desastre
Irak –> still not won
Afghanistan, probably –> fleeing away
Dien Dien Phu still in the memories of each warrior, our soldiers fought until death !
Algeria war, won
rescueing of european population in any African state in revolution, successes
raid over Mecca, success…
pirats hijackings, all solved
the difference with you, is that we don’t favorise a big spectacular intervention, that are “has been” in nowaday conflicts configuration
our soldiers in Afghanistan may be not numerous, but they are regarded as very professional by your Marines

but you’re referring to what I wrote about the Spanish pulling out Kosovo…
an exterpt :
… I agree with you, that Nato isn’t justified since the fall of the eastern block in the nineties ; since then, it has mainly served the american policies as a foreign legion (also mostly in countries that aren’t Nato members)
Even Nato in Afghanistan is going to fail, because of the indadequation of the means there, not only becuz of the european lack of motivation,(mostly said by our American fellahs) but immuably because no power could managed to subjugate these tribal rebels, even the Russians, that used more arms and troops there, didn’t ; if you want them docile, you have to eliminate all the men, and or bomb the hell until vitrification of the country, but bonjour les dégâts in the world reputation of the US then !
So Nato, as its former organisation was ment for, isn’t justified anymore, BUT the experience, that the EU countries made through it, should incline them to redefine its missions, and eventually to opt for more autonomy from its US leading headquaters. Aso EU countries like France, Germany, UK are, altogether, contribuating to Nato financement more than the US.
