France so scary. One asks how many Frenchman does it take to defend Paris. Answer: no one knows it has never been done.

Y’all need to lay off the Frogs just a bit.
Their leaders might be wet noodles, or self-promoting hacks, but the Frogs themselves are pretty good fighters as is the Foreign Legion. Read some history. Look for words like “Verdun” and “Franco-Prussian War” and “Bir Hakeim.” The French might have lost some, but they didn’t give up and even then they cut a chunk out the enemy (Germans in every case...) before they went down.

"France so scary."

Actually it looks like France is taking the toughest line of all the Western powers.

Saying the agreement must say, up front, that Assad is out.

Sometime in the future.

If it works out.

Well not since the Franco-Prussian war in 1872(?) and the French still lost
