  • @alexraoul26 Bonjour to our French allies from the US. Thank you for your support for us in the American revolution and in the war in Afghanistan.

    Please note that only a small number of Americans (mostly conservatives) hate France. All other Americans like France.

    Merci for your support and Excuse-moi that I can't speak French.

  • @4downtime French troops represented 45% of the allies in WW1, USA didn't get involved in the war to "save" France, but because German submarines sunk their supply ship.

  • how could some some shitty 30 year old tribe compare to the rulers of our planet( U.S.A, France, U.K.)

  • @jamaljordan

    I'am probably more informed than you, concerning what the French eat, pahetic dumbfuck. And i'am not surprised by your comment, coming from your shithole without history . It seems that a lot of your pig brothers have their mouths often full of shit concerning France and the French. Not suprising, when we know that your mongrel race is mostly from Briton convicts descent.  Try to catch only 10 % of French history, before to spread the same bullshits, smelly loser.

  • @Camarale Um they don't eat pizzas every where you retarted fuck. I think you need to learn your history and facts before you type. You need to step out of the cave that you live in. You french wankers, I hope they all die there hehehehe yipee!

  • @sangyuni96 they surrendered after 2 wars that claimed more than 1 million 6 hundred thousand lives among the french troops, in comparison the us lost less than 400 000 soldiers in both world wars ...(less than during the civil war : 900 000). So yeah, we did surrender, but my ancestor put up a fight your ancestors would never have... If you look closely at WW1 battles omaha beach was a piece of cake

  • VIVE L'UE VIVE FRANCE!! Im french xD

  • these french are real tough guys.....

  • @MrMf92 Not myself, you stupid fuck. But the others :]
