Also, fuck France; not for being cowardly or anything else the British roast them for, but for being ruthless imperialists

      Then they wouldn’t be ruthless. Also I consider this a somewhat serious accusation. I only recall them being called that over the Mali/Sahel situation which is… Well the africa Corps calling them a neocolonialist bunch while extracting the wealth of Mali and committing enough massacres that al quaeda is hailed as their savors and are notable for upholding the rule of law better does not bode well. But that’s probably not the situation Jessica is thinking about and you cannot start with that accusatory tone. Also the context was lost upon me as well when I first heard about that, so it would be a fair assumption, too.
