This means France is going into war. It doesn't matter, if it's in reality right or wrong. The public report will show, that it is true.

I think it would be best if the French stay well out of Syria.
If an outside country gets involved, it will only broaden the conflict, and make matters much worse.

They were once one of the most dominant forces in global events until the 1950s ...however being involved in Syria is a big mistake as it will trigger a much wider conflict with Iran and probably Russia and China

I'm sorry, I'm just so used to the old WW2 joke of the French folding like a card table during conflicts.

Oh well, Britain once had most of Europe...Rome once had all of Europe...Germany...

I don't believe Britain ever owned most of Europe, they just owned most of the rest of the world
Guess that's what makes Europe so interesting, no?

Interesting in retrospect, of course, but I wouldn't want to live in those times.

France has reduced its military. But at least not like the UK
