WTF happened to France?

At the beginning of the 20th century, they were a superpower with global influence and even the world's lingua franca was French. Now they are the laughing stock of the world, a mere regional power, about to get sidelined by fucking Poland

They are literally China's puppets and that even more since all the sanctions and low oil price.

France has always been socialist leaning, they fell for this scam harder than the other industrialized democratic countries at the time.

You know the answer to your question, why bother asking?

Two World Wars that completely drained their manpower and resources. It exasperated the collapse of their colonial empires and really shitty policy decisions and leadership has meant a stagnant and uncompetitive economy.

Ever heard the name Putin?

Ex-KGB with nuclear codes, worth $40 billons, in power since last millenium (1999) personal friend with current US president Trump?

Lay off the /int/ cool aid.

>What happened?
Germany is geographically,economically and culturally destined to led europe. Due to our massive autism we wasted nearly 100 years with autistic wars, terrible crimes and being seperated. The loss of the french primat over europe was still bound to happen.

Apart from their shitty economic situation (surprise a few socialist governments and le directed economy meme tends to do that) they are fine. Military is more than decent. Culturally still important. Leads the EU as a big Junior Partner and tremendous influence in its former african holdings.

>muh russia will just overrun europe

Niqqa plz. Given the state of the russian economy they couldn't finance that even if they started selling their qts as Sex slav'es'. They have a decent territorial defense army that is able to operate effectively in the russian sphere of interest (central asia, eastern europe) when the enemy is inferior and recieves no or very limited 1 world help.

Russias military Performance in the Chechen-Wars indicates that they would struggle to overrun the balkans, poland and the baltic states (without NATO intervening) but they would fail against serious opponents like the french and british army or the German army with a few years of apropiate funding.

Russia can afford to influence the world's foremost superpower democratic election, though.
>>
>>2312607
Yup. Russia isn't the fucking soviet union. If they used every AK they have what could they mobilize? 1.5 Million soldiers, a lot of them not armed to a modern standard and without the necessary heavy armaments to support them?

Even if they overrun the former soviet satellites in eastern europe they wouldn't push much further. The eastern euros hate their Guts so the Russians would have to muster a huge garrison to even secure their supply routes.

Also they wouldn't have the necessary air superiority to prevent western air forces from seriously disrupting their supply routes.

They would probably run out of steam in eastern germany, their economy would completely crash and they would have to retreat through a few countries were everyone is eager to Kill a few ruskies.

Germany under the SNP will dominate Europe!

>>2312694
To support an absolute madman they thought would unchain them only to find he's not only either unwilling/unable to lift sanctions and reverse policy on Ukraine but whose prepared to blow your Mideast ally Iran to smithereens ruining your Syrian policy in a flash. Russia's great power status is a fragile house of cards that only exists because Obama deluded himself into not responding to Russian aggression or genuinely believing his own " diplomacy works better than force" meme"

Wtf i am german fampai and this party doesn't exist. Do you mean the SPD ?

>>2312715
This. And what the hell even under Obama Russia never even infringed on any basic US interests.

>>2312717
>influence
Wew some shitty right wing parties. And look how well their influence over trump worked. He isn't backing down in the eastern Ukraine.

>Blackmail,extortion

What are checks and balances? What is the public oppinion?

By influence at best a few influential people you can hinder the efforts of a nation but not totally redirect them.

>Assasination

We kill someone that is opposing our interests. Most likely someone with similiar attitudes will follow or even a more extreme Person because it isn't unlikely that our entanglement in the affair is discovered.


Look how far their ebin KGB super shit brought them in the Ukraine. In the end they had to intervene with conventional forces because just arming the rebells and doing clandestine shit wasn't enough.

Aiding the trump campaign weren't suddenly allowing them to control the US. Instead they just aided someone who destabilizes the global order and is still opposed to their interests. Oh and he would have most likely won without anymore russian help.
>>
>>2312715
Well this all add up to a very tense global situation.
Crumbling empires everywhere, failling democracies, nationalist demagogy, religious nutjobs all around...
Am I being paranoid?

Please explain what time period?

Nope famalam. World order is shifting and i would be surprised if this would happen with at least some smaller and a midscale war.

Definetly ever since WW2.

Up until the 60s-70s they had a 'directed economy' meaning a mixed economy with heavy leanings toward a command economy.

And even their laws now are not very liberal or fond of free entrepeneurs.

Eastern Europe has even worse demographic problems than that rest of the developed world. The insurgency would end after they burn through their supply of hot-headed under 25s in about a week.

In all honesty it's not hard to manipulate trump. Just send him praise or in Russias case owing money to their oligarchs.

France has always been full of hysterical leftist neanderthals and this why it always finds itself rightly dominated by a superior power.

First it was the Romans, then the Prussians, then the Nazis, soon the Russians. I honestly can't wait for that irrelevant shitstain of a country to finally be wiped off the map with its history reduced to a two sentence footnote in a grade school textbook.

It's amazing that what Germany couldn't achieve through 2 bloody world wars they achieved through shrewd diplomacy that tied the other european nations in an economic model that benefited the germans most of all. They're the masters of europe in all but name right now.
>>
>>2313480
It actually wrecked the German economy. It wasn't until the scam was obvious, that financial investments had been redirected to Germany again. The Euro was even a condition from France in order to allow Germany to be reunited. A decade ago, Germany was still referred to as the sick man of Europe and Southern Europe was praised for its development LOL
>>

Remind me, how many coalitions consisting of pretty much the entirety of Europe it took to finally make France just calm down barely enough for them not to keep fucking everyone's shit up? I'm sorry I forgot the number.

Oh god, another one of you. How's that minimum wage going there, Dmitri? I would say you should find a different job, but since you're a hired troll that's flooding forum sites such as these with pro-Russian statements and "Muh Russia" "Muh PUTIN!". Fuck off and go back to working in your infertile farm fields and have another famine.
>>
>>2313188
Oh but it could have, they could've easily provided more armed support for the Ukrainians and the Russians would've paid a far heavier price for supporting the separatists(honestly why we didn't is retarded, either it would lead to Russian casualties quietly piling up or the Russians admitting they had men on the ground). On Syria Obama deluded himself into thinking that heavy military force couldnt change the situation in the ground which was just covering his ass for barely arming his side anyway.
>>2313215
Yes but you forget the key of proximity. Trump has the attention span of a squirrel and tends to end up going with whatever was said last be it from the media or his people in the White House. In this case the Russians are seriously outgunned

terrible pop growth through the 19th cent + two world wars stunting the population even further
