#1 Tenaciously.

#2 Despite hysterical and stupid sloganeering by halfwits like Jonah Goldberg, in reality the French are among the least PC nations in Europe.

The un-PC French:

- are unapologetic about nuclear power (unlike the Germans)

- are unapologetic about refusing to allow any negotiations re. their nuclear arsenal (unlike the anti-nuke British, German etc publics)

- are unapologetic about their people's hostility to gay marriage (unlike most of Western Europe)

- are unapologetic about not just their historical but their actual present-day colonialism (unlike everyone in the West)

- are unapologetic about enforcing their border, opposing multiculturalism including demanding that citizens speak the national language and respect the Republic's norms and values (unlike America's idiot political class)

You can find much to agree with on that list. Plenty we could learn from the French.

#4 On the other hand, they did let several million Arabs in.

#6 I believe most of those Arabs were Algerian (at the time, Algeria was not a foreign country or even a colony, but an actual voting province, so not subject to any immigration or migration controls at all). Not saying that it turned out well, but legally they had limited options, unlike the Germans, who literally went out of their way to invite the Turks in just to save themselves the bother of having kids or paying even higher wages.

#7 "They’ve quietly spent blood and treasure trying to keep those countries out of trouble"

Did you watch the video? The French take these countries' wealth and lend it back to them. They aren't spending their own blood and treasure. If anything they are doing nothing more than self-interest, like a farmer keeping foxes out of his henhouse.

#9 The French take these countries' wealth and lend it back to them.

That's just payment for sex slaves and cocaine trafficing.

#10 You mean, like a security payment on an investment loan?

If you history begins at de Gaulle, you missed the first two films of the trilogy.
