#9 And thanks to the FNS + CV "DE GAULLE"s + its continuing adventures ala PROPELLER-GATE, methinks its safe to say we know what NATO Country is going to be using the new WE-BUILT-IT-TO-NOT-USE-IT CVF "PRINCE OF WALES", unless France desires a [franco-ized]Name Change when under French utility??? E.g. WW2 > US PACIFIC FLEET = IIRC, USN "TF 58" became USN "TF 51" or "TF53" WHEN ONE ADMIRAL [Halsey, Spruance, etc.] TOOK OVER COMMAND FROM ANOTHER = CHANGED ADM'S FLAGS. * ION PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > BRITAIN MAY SHARE NUCLEAR WARHEAD TEHCNOLOGY WID FRANCE. * WAFF > WILL UK TROOPS TAKE ORDERS FROM THE FRENCH? * CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > US NUCLEAR FORCES LOSING THEIR STRUCTURE + ORGANIZATION [Identity, Strategic-Oper Mission] ARTIC = "NO COMPELLING [futurist]VISION" = NO INSPIRATION FOR YOUNG PEOPLE = YOUNGER, NEW SERVICEMENBERS TO BELIEVE THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING INMPORTANT OR VITAL??? IMO ARTIC also read > ALL BUREAUCRACY = POLITICS, NO REAL OR NEW LEADERSHIP??? "GLOBALISM" + POTUS Bammer "Birth Certificate" Controversy > comes down to WILL MAINSTREAM AMERICA + US VOTER SUPPORT NATIONAL, FOREIGN PUBLIC POLICIES AS DETERMINED BY NON-AMERICAN COUNTRIES , as per OWG-NWO? ARE AMERS WILLING TO PAY REGIONAL, TRANSREGIONAl, ...@"GLOBAL" TAXES + FEES, ETC. TO SUPPORT THE GOVTS, PUBLIC POLICIES + WAY-OF-LIFE OF PEOPLE WHOM DON'T LIVE, WORK, OR WERE BORN IN AMERICA, + DON'T EVER INTEND TO??? |

#8 French and British foreign policy seems to have never overlapped in history, Napoleon and Wellington were the best of chums, then? ;-) |

#7 Wouldn't boiled croissants be like a bagel? Personally French and British foreign policy seems to have never overlapped in history, so this is like the Euro, once size fits none, all over again. |

#6 Imagine croissants cooked (boiled?) by English cooks. To go with a nice Welsh Leek and Escargot Vichyssoise with chunks of blood sausage. |

#3 They'd be a lot smarter to look across the Atlantic. Churchill is spinning in his grave. |

#2 1) Actually French have been bathing as much or more than the British as soon as they have had showers in their houses (in 1944 most French buildings had been built in the XIXth century with near zero construction in the early 40 years of the twentieth century. 2) French croissants are a looooooot less greasy than what passes as food in England. 3) It will not be the Gendarmerie Mobile but the CRS and they will be far too busy controlling the dental hygiene of the British. |

#1 As another "cost-cutting measure", the Gendarmerie Mobile will now be patrolling the cities of England, to confiscate illegal tea, prevent excessive bathing, and to enforce the consumption of greasy croissants lathered in garlicky snail pulp. |
