The only reason France hasn't completely imploded economically is that someone else pays for and provides all its military protection.
This has allowed them for decades to pull this crap.
But I'd say within 20 years, even thats not going to be enough to save them.
France and their politicans got Sadaam's oil for cover money. But that is over.
French wine sales have not been great. I read that they were even pulling up some vineyards.
Looks ugly.
