China sails aircraft carrier through the Taiwan strait

Taiwan has supersonic antiship missiles.

I wouldn’t worry about their carrier would be a sitting duck.

The French have a very good military record, WW2 really skews people’s view of their military successes. I doubt very much that the United States would have won independence without them. Although the US very much returned the favor in WW2

I agree - I was being facetious :slight_smile: French people, in the broad historical view, are not to be messed with.

FWIW I suspect the French surrender in WW2 was a calculated gamble on the part of politicians - although it does seem that that gamble was taken because they knew full well that the French army (as it stood at that moment) was in a disgraceful state.

Well they certainly know how to put on a good riot.
