French newspaper La Tribune reports that an evacuation plan for 200,000 French citizens currently living in Israel has been devised. French diplomatic sources told the newspaper that the plan was launched due to the rising risk of a conflict with Iran. The aim is to not be caught "off guard" if Israel is attacked by missiles launched by Iranian forces or Hezbollah. A few dozen Frenchmen and women have been designated as planners for an evacuation, which would use smaller boats to get the citizens to French navy boats docked in Jaffa, near Tel Aviv. Despite warnings about a conflict from American officials, Israeli officials have made a number of statements about Iran's nuclear program that some believe indicate a military conflict will happen soon. A former Mossad chief, Efraim Halevy, told the New York Times last week, "If I were Iranian, I'd be fearful of the next 12 weeks." Read more: www.businessinsider.com...

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

I hear they have even invented a "French Army Knife". It doesn't have the normal array of tools and utensils, but it does have 6 corkscrews and a white flag.
You can say what you like about the French,,,,,

The really funny part of that joke, is the fact that most americans are so oblivious about their own history, that they often forget who aided them against the British during the American Revolution.
Following the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution was well received in France, both by the general population and the educated classes. The Revolution was perceived as the incarnation of the Enlightenment Spirit against the "English tyranny." Benjamin Franklin, dispatched to France in December of 1776 to rally his support, was welcomed with great enthusiasm, as numerous Frenchmen embarked for the Americas to volunteer for the war effort. Motivated by the prospect of glory in battle or animated by the sincere ideals of liberty and republicanism, volunteers included the likes of Pierre Charles L'Enfant, and Lafayette, who enlisted in 1776.

After WW2, the French recognized the threat to their sovereignty from US military bases and the expanding US empire. They told the US to leave. Much of the anti-French noise and slogans we hear in today's propaganda stems from this act.
You have to free your mind before you can break the chains of modern propaganda and knee-jerk reactions.

Free your mind from your own creation.
France would just capitulate the moment Russian armor was at its border anyway so it is no loss to not have any US bases there.
