K Harris panned for using 'French accent' to French scientists while touring Parisian lab

Im not mad. the French might be. I'm just laughing Harris is so inept -like Biden

Tell me, how does someone with Trump's "great big brain", more money than god and a Svengali like sway over the masses manage to get clown whipped in the election by an inept Biden? Oh, wait, I remember now. He didn't actually lose, the election was stolen from him by millions of fraudulent votes. Never mind.

I doubt many of you Trumpers think thru the following: In any competition of any kind, when your opponent curb stomps you, it does not really portray you in a good light to proclaim that your opponent was worthless, talentless, inept, etc.

Well, I did say since the 19th century so as to include "The Great War" as it was then called.
Not a huge war for us, but definitely for the French and the British.
And the Germans who knew it was all over at least by the time we joined in- if not before.
(Sorry for going off topic but any mention of WWI or WWII gets me fired up!).

The 19th century was 1800-1899. WWI was in 1914.

I feel silly that I'm even responding but I said every war since the 19th century.
So that would be every war from 1801 to the present, which obviously includes WWI.

So they lost one war with Mexico in the early 1800s and they got annihilated in WWII. That's not the worst record.

French make excellent infantry, and terrible officers. You put a half-pint Corsican in charge of them, they run all over Europe.

I'll admit I'm a little harsh in my critique of the French fighting ability. But I remain chaffed at the thought that the French tend to look down their nose at us despite the fact we came over and saved their asses twice in the span of 30 years (with the help of our allies of course).

It's important to remember that France has one ally: France.

Everyone else has a passing usefulness.
