>French forces are arriving in Sweden for the Swedish-led military exercise Aurora 26, designed to strengthen Sweden's national defense and NATO integration. With over 18,000 personnel, it focuses on rapid reinforcement of the Baltic Sea region.That is the cutest thing I have ever seen. The wiesel can fuck off.
>>65095380Will this help NATO prepare for the US invasion of Greenland?
>>65095407Think the US is too busy playing in the Middle East to even have that be a consideration.
>>65095407France will nuke an American aircraft carrier as a warning shot if they try it for real.
>>65095411More likely it would be Exocet spam or something. Nuking the US would NOT end well.
>>65095421>Nuking the US would NOT end well.Thats the whole point of nukes you asshat.
>>65095427Europe could easily make the US financially suffer from taking greenland without getting the mainland turned into rubble.
>>65095429Why are you pretending that Europe doesn't have enough nukes to turn the US into rubble too?
>>65095434Are you just an angry brown that wants both the US and Europe crippled from nuclear conflict?
>>65095437You started by talking about the US attacking Europe.
>>65095441My first post was >>65095421
>>65095443Oh yeah? Well fuck you.
>>65095434because they don't? are you retarded anon?
>>65095429>make the US financially sufferthe US is doing that to itself and clearly it isn't dissuading enough
>>65095380VBL mega cute!
>>65095380>The wiesel can fuck off.You can fuck off!
>>65095457Yes
>greenland mentioned>immediate NAFO infighting >thread derailedGood...good...
>>65095380Unironically cute. CUTE.
>>65095540I just mentioned it to ironically shitpost, not get a brownie to go full retard.
>>65095421>>65095411I think their latest submarine class is a far gteater threat
>>65095411>France nukes American cities (predominantly black)>America nukes French cities in retaliation (predominantly black)>both nations end up noticeably whiter as a result
That little thing looks like it could fit 4-6 men uncomfortably, and protect from intermediate cartridges and possibly frag. I'll take that over a bmp
>>65095380These used these bad boys in Mali a lot
>>65095667The big question in sweden is always "can you perform or defend/deny a forest ambush"
>>65095434Anon please. I'm a Euro but there is absolutely no way Europe has enough warheads (never mind delivery systems) to play MAD with the US. At best we'd be able to glass a couple of east-coast cities before we were erased from existence.That being said, from what I've heard there is a not-insignificant chunk of the US population that wouldn't be too upset if New York disappeared one day.
>>65095667>That little thing looks like it could fit 4-6 men uncomfortablyLEWD
>>65095380I stood next to one while on vacation in Mexico. They're fucking tiny. They had ATGMs and a grenade machine guns on it. They're smaller than a Volkswagen Jetta for scale reference.
>>65095380give it proper windows, make it out of non-bullet proof materials and you got yourself a funny little hobby offroader
>>65095410We are a real military we can do both. Sven.
>>65095434I don't think the french aim to make other countries into rubble>>65095827As french generals have said in the past: "Within 10 years, we should have the mean to kill 80 millions Americans. I truly believe that one does not light-heartedly attack people who are able to kill 80 millions Americans, even if one can kill 800 millions French. That is, if there was 800 millions French to begin with." De Gaulle"Making the most pessimistic assumptions, French bomber could destroy 10 American cities. And France is not a prize worth 10 American cities" Gallois
>>65095649I only ask that the US uses a neutron bomb when they hit Paris. The art and architecture is too precious to lose. Just kill the Eurabians with radiation and leave the precious things for future generations.
>>65095411Macron is definitely based enough to try this. The rest of Europe would probably talk him down though. Or maybe his wife if she didn't approve lol.
>>65095411Tough talk, cheese eating surrender monkey.
>>65096178>Macron is definitely based enough to try this.Do you say this because he married a man?
>>65096183I can kind of believe it. French Intelligence are a bunch of fucking psychos compared to their Anglo counterparts, for example.
>>65096145Screw the art. Glass the CGT.
>>65096188I say it because he's one of few European leaders who is willing to at least sort of walk the walk of being strategically independent, even if a lot of it is clinging to the slivers of what De Gaulle left behind (like the nuclear plants) and/or screwing over the Germans on joint programs for old times sake. As an American I wish we had more allies like the French. Well OK maybe like 1 or 2 more. Too many Frances would get a bit chaotic.
>>65095407US wants to buy Greenland, or at least get basing rights in certain parts of it. An invasion is highly unlikely.
>>65095587But are a brownie in spirit.
>>65095380>>65095875>accordions on the sideshow very french
>>65096341>or at least get basing rights in certain parts of itDon't they already have that?>>65096344
>>65095827American cities are where all their important shit resides. Amerifat rural retards like to cosplay and LARP as self-sufficient, but they're absolutely dependent on the cities and the infrastructure those cities provide. That's why rural retards sre so asspained about the cities, because deep inside of them these rural retards know that they are essentially welfare queens. So you take our some of Amerifattian cities, and the rural retards are done as well. Inb4 some seething Amerifat rural retard comes hollering and hooting at me.
>>65096341Then why are yanks threatening aggression like the chimps in the East?
>>65096190Do tell.
>>65096370That's not actually true. The headquarters of important shit are in the major cities, to be close to regulators. The actual factories are at closest, the suburbs, but frequently farther out. Nuking cities would take out financialization, headquarters and services, but most industry, food production, and all mining and refining would still be functional, if lightly contaminated. Russia has enough nukes to hit Industrial parks and mines as well, neither France nor China have enough, especially since France would be relying on SLBMs of a piddly 100 kiloton instead of heavy ICBMs. Assuming they all got through, 288 kilotons is not enough to destroy America or every midsize city. It would suck, but it almost certainly wouldn't collapse the government.
>>65096360They want an extended footprint for GMD.>>65096377Hello from the future, person living 3 months ago. TACO already happened.
>>65095380That thing is cool as hell. I want it.
>>65096377>Then why are yanks threatening aggressionHere's the thing: The haven't.
>>65096402>TACOAh, its this lunatic again.
>>65095380>That is the cutest thing I have ever seen.>>65095457>>65095546>>65095667>>65095852>>65095884>>65096449Have you guys not seen a VBL before? I've desired one for a long time. BTW they're amphibious lol.
Two icecreAm sC- Oooooops!
>>65096490of course, everyone knows frogs are amphibious
>>65095886>we can do bothJust like how you are simultaneously begging NATO for help in Iran while also proclaiming victory in Iran?
>>65095380>The wiesel can fuck off.Oh no, you need to think bigger. Panhard for enjoyable daily driving, Wiesel for lighthearted sunday fun.There was a very similar armored car made in Slovakia called Alligator, but VBL is cuter.
>>65096661There's the Otokar Cobra too which is very aesthetic, especially if it's got the spare wheel mounted
>>65096399>Russia has enough nukes to hit Industrial parks and mines as wellnah, most of russian arsenal only exists on paper and serves no purpose other than to pad the numbers so that russian brinkmanship diplomacy and nook threats sound more credible while their up to date arsenal is only minutely larger than that of France, UK or china, not large enough to outweigh the spotty maintenance and unimpressive track record of recent launches that cast doubt over even their readiness.
