    France’s nuclear doctrine actually first includes a “nuclear warning shot”, which is fucking insane but makes some semblance of sense as in “we know what MAD is and we can play that game, but you should really reconsider”

      To their merit, France starts remarkably few wars while hiding under their nuclear umbrella. And I know they still do fucked up shit, especially on their colonies but at least they are not invading Catalonia or Sardinia.

        There are only a handful of countries around the world with that habit of starting international wars.

        (Civil wars are a different matter.)

          You have been banned from ml - stating that anyone other than the US starts wars is McCarthyist propaganda.
