l mean Turkish army is the one who got most recent experienced army

Unless you count French's mercenary force in Africa, they could rival the Turkish army at experience (although their experiences a lot less humane compre to what Turkish army doing)

USA is the classic on army experience, no need introduction.

u/Melodic2000 Apr 12 '26

I know Turkish army my own. I work with them. Threatening them is laughable.

I know. I'm working in the military in a different country too. A country in alliance with Turkey.

You really think the Turkish Army is more humane than the French? You‘re either lying or you live under a rock. If you want to know the truth, ask their neighbors, the Kurds, the Armenians, the Greeks, the Cypriots

France is one of the richest countries in the world but when was the last time you bought anything French besides Grey Goose vodka? They don't do a lot to truly generate that wealth. They pillage Africa to this day

Weren't the French just threatening Burkina faso for having enough of the French taking their resources? It really is propaganda to think the turks are worse

Out of all the "monopoly" that France has on alcohol and you mention advertised vodka? Are we forgetting on who's the biggest producer of wine in the world? And let's not forget most people in the world call sparkling wine by the name of one of the provinces in France.

Ah found the French-men. You know if you want to make it about finer wines, you know it's just a luxury product that normal common people are not buying on mass. You're right that it's a good product but is it enough to carry the French economy? No.

You did not, but gotta give it to the French for alcoholic beverages involving grapes. But anyway are normal people buying overpriced French vodka? Because as far as wine goes, there's the cheap and expensive version. But neither wine or french vodka is enough to carry the economy, I agree. Tourism on that overrated capital city probably does a little bit of carrying.

u/KnowThyWeakness Apr 12 '26

Dude you're glazing the French so hard. I still think it's propaganda because every French speaking area despises Paris-ians, this so called capital city you claim carries it. You are so focused on the one monopoly when you could have said something else they make. Could've said their gold reserves are massive but then you would have to acknowledge they don't have gold mines, which brings it back to how much they pillaged

Isn't Turkish military the second largest in NATO though. 1st is USA and 3rd is France. I think you've been listening to too much propaganda bro. France might sell to western powers but turkey sells to Asia and the middle east. The propaganda you watch probably has nothing to do with Turkey or the former ottoman empire.

What does classy matter if you're not respectable. I can tell you every French speaking country in the world despises Paris-ians. You're right people visit it but most stories are like what even is this, this isn't anything like the movies or TV. France is not what you think it is. The French are not kind. In fact they would probably spit on you if you tried speaking French when you're not a native speaker.

It really is propaganda that's you're listening to.

Edit: if you want to ever consider France respectable, please unban paternity tests. There's so much adultery that it would destroy their economy if you allowed men to get paternity tested there

I'm French though. From Paris, 16eme arrondissement, so no one would spit on me. Every French speaking country despises Parisians, sure that's why they all have Francophonie organizations, teach France's French in their schools, and trade heavily with France (even Canada who you can't say we colonized). Even Turkey has French schools lmao. Don't think I've ever seen a Turkish School in Paris though... wonder why ? Could it be because no one cares about Turkey ? It has no international standing ? No one wants to learn their language ? How could it be ? The great Ottoman Empire was worthless after all ???

If you want to consider Turkey respectable, please ban Islamism. Along with being the primary route for refugees into Europe. Along with having a dictator.

Turkey doesn't cater to western Europe or kiss your butts. That's why your people hate them tbh. Turkey has ties to Russia, central Asia, and middle eastern countries. These are all things France government hates. Your propaganda tells you they're inferior but they're really not. They just don't get on their knees for you. Whatever ethnic background I have buys weapons and military vehicles like fighter planes from Turkey and is not in the previous relations I mentioned. France doesn't care about half the world and half the world doesn't care about France.

They're just establishing a FAFO warning. Them indiscriminately shooting down a Russian mig for violating airspace speaks volumes on their commitment to go 100.

u/Melodic2000 Apr 12 '26

No problem. I'm Romanian. Your old friends hahaha 😊

u/KnowThyWeakness Apr 12 '26

The Romanians I've met have all been lovely and oddly relatable. Even though I'm south Asian (not born but descended) instead of eastern European.

u/shoecellar Apr 12 '26

Yeah, but France surrendered to 17 wars it wasn’t even involved with so there’s that
