Nasty weaponry aside these days I'd bet if the final victor being France

I don't think we've seen novinki agents deployed yet (if they exist) and a Western power has yet to directly challenge a Russian possession like Tartus naval or BAA air base. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be so restrained in such circumstances.

🤔 Logistics is an ability issue. Although we may have already passed the threshold where information warfare is the key capability that wins wars between peer adversaries, logistics was what won wars for most of the 20th century, and remains a key enabler. The fiercest soldiers in the world are useless if you can't supply them.

During Odyssey Dawn, the French weren't even close to the most humorous NATO partner. (For my money, that would be the Swedes deploying their fighters to a field that didn't have fuel that the Gripen was certified for.) However the fact that they had to borrow American logistics for Op Serval speaks volumes.

They still have logistics issues. Their C-160s just aren't enough and I haven't even seen an A400 in the field yet. Once those come online, good, but until then, they'll continue to basically rely on our logistics network.

Its hilarious to see people poo poo on the France for World War 2 as well, because it was largely a failure of command, who threw up their hands in despair and blamed the communists, while the French Army was still fighting delaying battles around Dunkirk to try to delay the German Army, with some success.

Giving the French poo poo for getting overrun by the Germans in 1940 is usually a response to some French guy being an rear end in a top hat.

I did a fun exchange thing in high school where, for the first half of a summer, my family hosted a French kid, and then I went to France with him to stay with his family for the second half of the summer. Kid was a complete rear end in a top hat, but that was due more to him being a teenager than it was to him being French. That's not the point of :justpost:ing, though.

In France, his dad was sailing us across the Bassin d'Arcachon in his little boat on a really foggy morning. We couldn't see poo poo, and everything was quiet, and it was scary and peaceful all at the same time. Then his dad broke the silence with "Is zere anybody...hhhOUT ZERE" in his best Pink Floyd voice, and I died laughing, and his dad totally knew he Frenched it up too much on purpose for that exact reason, and I knew that there was at least one awesome frog in this world.

Also, I got to see that dad literally beat my wallet out of the younger brother of the rear end in a top hat exchange student after the younger brother stole it form me, so that's another happy memory from that trip.
