If France was a gun it'd obviously be pointed at England.

UK: "But France, you could have hit Russia without hitting Germany!"

France: "Why would I want to do that?"

I mean, the opportunity for petty payback is real, for sure, but.... I bet the french had dozens if not hundreds of war plans detailing using Germany as an excellent kill box for incoming Warsaw Pact tank divisions.

this reminds me, now that we're seeing ATACMS doing daily damage to Russians, it would have been pretty fucking cool if they had fielded the BAT-ATACMS system. That shit would be great; still more expensive than drones, but woof.

We were just planning a little nuclear strike:

In 1991, due to the changing situation in Europe and to the German opposition to the program (which was openly designed to strike East Germany), restrictions were decided upon so as not to deploy the system...
