What do they even do? Make ups and expensive clothes plus nuclear?The French seem to be a big country that has nothing going on for it. Almost like Eastern Europe, but I can name multiple Polish stuff for example.
>>216384581You forgot aerospace, cars, pharma, agriculture, military-industrial complex, etc etc etc
>>216384634aerospace? Sure. Cars? Its all DEUTSCHEAgriculture doesnt employ that many
decathlon?
>>216384661>naja I would like an expensive piece of shit that loses half its value when it leaves the dealership rather than just plain old shit
>>216384663again basically clothing and shit
I just came back from 2 weeks in Bordeaux. I don't know if they have holidays or something like that but these people where sitting, drinking, eating and above all smoking outside at restaurants and bars 24/7
>>216384707if I were to buy a car with cost effiency in mind I would go for a Japanese carIf I wanted something else I would go for German carI never really think about Renault and stuff and I have to guess it might just be that they arent that popular here
They control the finance of French-speaking African countries through CFALots of their companies are also contracted to do engineering and tech projects in those colonies. You go to an oil rig in Algeria and check the contractor, it's French
>>216384661>Agriculture doesnt employ that manyThat's the catch. It doesn't employ many but the ones who work in the industry own several thousand km2 of land each. We mass produce food on the ultraindustrial scale and the agro-industry lobby here is all powerful. We're the biggest agricultual powerhouse of the EU.
>>216384748>If I wanted something else I would go for German carHow brown are you? And what the fuck is "something else"? All you ever need in a car is cost efficiency.
>>216384634nobody buys french cars
>>216384761>We're the biggest agricultual powerhouse of the EU.Bigger than us?
>>216384761well duh you are self-sufficient and large country. If Finlandbwas 10x bigger you would hear more about our agriculture exports since we are relatively good at it.
>>216384780Perhaps in your country but French brand are popular their former colonies, a lot of people buy Peugeot hereColonization and its consequences
>>216384790You grow beautiful flowers and you import tons of shitty foreign food, but >>216384809in terms of exports we fucking annihilate each and every one of you.
>>216384773I am 100% sure that is how most Finns think so I guess we are brownSometimes people buy cars to show off or something. Honda Jazz has been aan awesome and reliable but of course it would be nicer to drive a wolkswagen even if it would cost more and be less reliable
>>216384866Ah, I forgot you're the rally racing country.
>>216384848It was not a competition. France outshines all the big countries in agriculture. You should compare yourself to Italy, Spain, Germany and Britain
>>216384901>Italyexports wine and cheese, that's about it>Spainmeme shit like olive oil and wne>Germanynobody sane outside Germany bothers with crap like Riesling>Britainlol lmao even
>>216384866volkswagen*>>216384878German cars just seem to have that bit over middle class shine to them where its nice but nothing that would make you look like a prick
>>216384901Why compare ourselves to other people with other skills? Italian cars are nice, German cars are nice, Spanish agriculture is okay, German imports are essential, the German industry is excellent, I would even say Poland has a lot of value in the tech and industrial sectors, their agriculture is also nice... No you're right it's not a competition, but still you were the one to doubt our agricultural production value.>BritainEveryone in the EU is better than Britain, even fucking Hungary...
>>216384944>but nothing that would make you look like a prickMy man, BMWs are a worldwide meme for being driven by pricks. Just google "BMW drivers".
>>216384581They're losers. They don't matter.
we've been mass desindustrialized for a long time and the faggot who serves as our president now has destroyed what was letf of our industry by systematically selling our crucial companies to foreignerslike for ex he sold the french company that used to produce the underwater cables used for the internet to nokia, he also sold the energy branch of alstom to americans, destroying our energy independance, as well as other less known ones (we were world leaders in chip card productions until our company got literally hijacked by american glowniggers, look into it)
>>216384989yeah BMW is a different thinghere is list of most popular cars purchased 2024Toyota Corolla (3714)Toyota Yaris Cross (2896)Tesla Model Y (2388)Toyota Yaris (2367)Volvo EX30 (2042)Skoda Octavia (1973)Nissan Qashqai (1761)Volvo XC60 (1726)Skoda Enyaq (1695)Kia Ceed (1451)note. Finland is having rought time now and people arent really buying cars to show off
>>216384581>Make ups and expensive clothesAnd cheese, don't forget cheese
>>216385046market share I guess? As you can see, French cars aint that common
>>216385113yeah these were registed cars in 2023
>>216385009same things happen here when something big is sold outside this country. Although I think its now less since most of the shit we have now is too big to fail and we dont have that many emerging companies
>>216384759there's very few french companies working in the oil sector (and in the economy in general) in algeria, there's only total in one or two fields but no contractors, americans dominate when it comes to foreign companiesI know you're trying to make a point about french presence in ex-colonies, and that would be true for most of them, but algeria is a horrible example, as they're deliberately locked out of the economy by the government in favor of other countries
>>216384581no euro country has anything going on for them, if anything the french is the only one that has still something left
>>216384581Jack of all (none) trade
>>216385480wait what? France is blocked in Algeria?
>>216386374not blocked outright, but they do little business with us compared to neighboring countriesthere's too much politics and bad blood involved with the french, they rarely get project deals and they themselves prefer to invest elsewhere, the chinese, turks, americans, italians, spanish are all more present, depending on the fieldthat being said we do trade a fair bit with the french, although that's declining nowadays after this latest diplomatic spat
>>216386569oh and the russians for military stuff
>>216384581>What do they even do?We go to restaurant and drink wine
>>216384581? France is the most important European country after Germany you stupid slavshit.
>>216386569>>216386595We know you are trying to invade France with the support of russia, you'll fail, the millions who come here will be killed.
>>216387060who would we invade a nuclear NATO country you schizo (we might invade you with immigrants though but you love them so much you will just allow it to happen)
>>216387088because or politician traitors who suck nafri cock will never use these weapons
>>216386595Lmao. You can ask the malians how good russian soldiers are. They are constantly got buck broken by tvareg bvlls in desert ambushes.
>>216385205>too big to failThe opposite is true here, the biggest the most likely is it to be sold
>>216387285the equipment not the soldiers you get your shit from the same supplier anyway (just realized after writing this that you're kyrgyzstan not vietnam, so not even sure you have a military to begin with, but if it exists it must be old soviet scrap)
>>216384581We make "the best wines in the world" and pretend it didn't get mogged by American wines 50 years ago. We also make STDs.
>>216387285who do you think if arming the tuaregs/azawad, giving them intels, protecting them inside their borders etc. Algeria even invited Ukrainian operators to form tuaregs into drone warfare.Russia is very mad at Algeria, all their news networks/propaganda accounts shits on Algeria now
>>216384634>aerospacelol?>carsonly found in france or the third world. everybody can name german or italian brands but will be at a loss for france>pharmaall countries do pharma>agriculturesame as above>military-industrial complexwe literally don't even make our own guns anymore, we buy german
>>216387690Why did Russia sell to Algeria the very latest Russian jets?
>>216387690none of that is substantiated, algeria has no reason to arm the azawad because tuareg separatism is not good for us eithertake your meds
>>216387714It was part of the 2021 deal https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/7billion-algerian-arms-deal-five-major-itemsAlgeria started supplying gaz to Europe and replaced Russia as the UE's biggest gaz provider, this led to Russia losing their leverageAlgeria now buys weapon systems mostly from China, Italy etc.
>>216387728Algeria literally blew half of the Mali's airforce, put an oil embargo that's collapsing Mali rn. Armed tuaregs roam freely in Tinzaouten &Tanezrouft.Russia is seething for a reason https://www.maghreb-intelligence.com/lagence-de-presse-russe-tass-accuse-alger-transformee-en-hub-diplomatique-pour-linstabilite-africaine/
>>216387886yeah we're in hostilities with mali because they pulled out of the algiers accords which kept some peace in the country and used us as a scapegoat for their problems, as soon as that happened shit went wrong and we're not exactly helping them out of that mess, doesn't mean we're arming the rebels though, algeria's stance has always been keeping mali unified to avoid separatism being a thing in the region>Algeria literally blew half of the Mali's airforceone turkish drone that wandered into our airspace, I guess that's technically half their airforce but when you put it that way it implies there was a lot more to i>Armed tuaregs roam freely in Tinzaouten &Tanezrouft.no way, unless you mean the malian tinzaouaten which is different from the algerian one
>>21638458157/100 cents they spend on government bullshitcourse theyre stupidly unproductivewhole scheme is gonna derail sooner or laterand yet stupid leftoids still look to it as an example to emulate
>>216387983Azawad / Tuaregs in Algeria are loyal to Algeria https://elmoudjahid.com/fr/actualite/les-touaregs-du-tanezrouft-et-de-l-azawad-denoncent-la-junte-militaire-au-mali-nous-reaffirmons-notre-loyaute-a-l-algerie-233164>scapegoat for their problemsWell Algeria closing the border and pulling the plug of the gas is literally collapsing the Malian state rn.>doesn't mean we're arming the rebels thoughI don't see Russia lying on this in their official (TASS) news agency, Algeria historically armed dozen of african groups to fight against colonial states.
>>216388154>Azawad / Tuaregs in Algeria are loyal to Algeriaright now yeah because malians are basically genociding them, but who knows what would happen in the future if they have their own state and influence our tuaregs through shared culture and blood, it's a bad precedent to set>Well Algeria closing the border and pulling the plug of the gas is literally collapsing the Malian state rn.they're doing their whole africa stronk self-sufficiency song and dance, let's see how they handle being an autarkyroom temperature malian leadership thought they could run a landlocked country while being hostile and cutting relations with both the north (algeria) and the south (ECOWAS), their own ocean and trade access regions, not working out great for them it seems >I don't see Russia lying on this in their official (TASS) news agency, Algeria historically armed dozen of african groups to fight against colonial states.I ignored this point because you linked maghreb-intelligence which is a moroccan toilet paper outlet, this is the actual article from TASS, it doesn't use such language at all, says the ukraine embassy staff in algeria is overseeing drone deliveries in africa, which if we wanted to help the azawad why would we need the ukranians for? seems like they're attacking ukraine here and not us, but either way it's an interesting statementhttps://tass.com/world/2005959
>>216384581What do they do now? Import nafris while treating all foreigners like the most insignificant of marauders.What have they done? Basically invented the brigade system used in larger restaurants, and threw a lot of haut cuisine at the wall. They made significant additions to jazz and classical music, basically invented gothic architecture singlehandedly, as well as art nouveau, pushed dada-ism and surrealism forward... Plus, they made these guys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTJob0hlO_Y
