The main issue is the limited stock of Scalp missiles I think. France can't deliver much more to Ukraine than they already did. Hence the key...
True. However, the CAESAR artillery guns as well as the Scalp-EG missiles are extremely precious deliveries for Ukraine.
I'm not sure it's been noticed here: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/moldova-signs-defence-pact-with-france-amid-russia-fears-2024-03-07/...
Does he ? I actually think Macron listens to no one, and certainly not former diplomats. Besides, assuming he has echoes of what's being said in...
Obviously. Speaking about Macron: instead of making dumb statements, he should make concrete decisions to rearm France. I mean, relying on...
He's a retired ambassador with no power or influence at all.
That will never happen. Macron knows it. Putin knows it. That's not 'strategic ambiguity' as Macron said: it's just another dumb statement that...
Two players immediately come to mind: Serge Blanco and Antoine Dupont. Both failed to win the WC though (Dupont still has time however).
For France, I'd probably go with Teddy Riner ahead of athletes like Anquetil, Killy, Hinault, Prost, Douillet and Marie-José Pérec. Speaking of...
How Fontaine gets so little credit is beyond me :rolleyes:
[IMG] Rare picture of a French Rafale exercising with a nuclear cruise missile on the Charles de Gaulle aircraft career. In terms of deterrence,...
Yes, but Napoleon escaped from Elba ! Btw, there's no need to exile Macron in a distant island this time : he is now prisonner in his own Elysée...
I literally had no idea of what you meant :)... Had you talked about the Island of Saint Helena, things would have been clearer to me.
Other options were possible. Macron simply made the choice of ignoring them.
Who ?
He's safe, but he's politically doomed.
Does it ? It's quite doubtul France needs that reform. I'd rather say Macron is convinced HE needs that reform to politically survive. It's too...
I counted 43 free-kicks for Platini but his real number is certainly much higher as I can't find any information about 165 of his goals (most of...
Some funny facts found in a 2014 interview (sorry for the poor Google traduction) : What relationship did you have with Pelé? We respected each...
This thread having only a couple of answers is quite indicative of how Just Fontaine is almost completely forgotten nowadays outside France....
Apparently no thread about this info here, so here we go... French legend Just Fontaine dies at the age of 89. It's time to pay tribute to this...
I've not read every post you posted on this thread to be honest. No doubt you've not ignored all these facts. You're right. That sounds a fair...
Shouldn't the number of goals count to some extent ? I'm not sure Zidane was an inferior playmaker. I'm pretty sure he was a considerably better...
That's harsh. He was an excellent keeper on his day, often great in short-format tournaments like WC and EC. He has some weaknesses though.
Somewhere around the 10th position if you ask me. If I had to pick one rugby player, I'd go with Richie McCaw. Dan Carter and Gareth Edwards would...
