    Its a simple fact of training, equipment, And deployability,

    The french army is too caught up in its own personal grudges and problems it couldnt even start a war let alone finish it, "trust me, I know"

    Having studies things like this and hearing it off a very close friend who happens to be a french nationalist .. comparing the mobility of armed forces, Its unlikely the entire new EU army could lay a dent in the United Kingdoms forces,

    Sure they can cause mass damage, But like its been said, the only country with severe power and nuclear strike capability in Europe is Russia, Thanks to the americans for providing those,

    Other stated, The Royal Navy has complete dominace over International waters in europe with its 8 nuclear strike subs, And "now" fledgling smaller Royal Navy, And anything it didnt have, It could just have its good friends across the ocean sell it to them .. as they always have done ..
    It seems for sometime the french have tried to underline this in words, not actions Asking Britain to decrease the size of its Navy is one ..

    *grins*

    France is still trying to bring Great Britain into the E.U .. simple because its the only way they could possible finish the plan of bringing the E.U under one power and ruling .. and employ a EU army even capable of being a power in the west, Other than this .. The only thing the french have going for them is stations of troops in many different countries .. But lets me open .. Both British leaders and french heads spend so much time in bed with each other its possible that they might just succeed in sapping even more power from the Monarchy and bring GHB into the European Union as another head state and through its lot in with france, and germany ..

    and remember I thought Germany didnt have an completly mobile army .. only a national guard which is followed VERY closely .. *s******s* But still lethal non the less, Is that true?

    Also .. Where ever the Canadians go, Great Britain Follows, And it works the same both ways, People dont appreciate just how major parties still feel about the commonwealth and the links and bonds that still stand .. Consider the WHOLE commonwealth as a example for each of the countries it influences .. and the add the rest of them .. Pretty impressive eh?

    Well if all the Brits strapped a stick of deoderant in place of their Bayonets they could likely route any French unit outside of the Foreign Legion...

    the us air force, while being very very good, is not invincible. if the us entered the war on the UK's side, then you most definatly would have russia and germany enter on france's side, those three combined air forces would be more than a match for the US & UK
    No, You wouldnt .. You forget this isnt just about size ... Its about money as well .. All these European nations would collapse on'themselves when the trading ceased .. And no they would not be a match for a combined power of the U.S and U.K forces .. They would quake themselves .. Giving the point likely most of the Russian army wouldnt fight ... especially when they couldnt win ... 85% of European armies are trained by Americans anyway

    Yeah, whatever you say dude.
    Believe me, we quake in fear of the Mighty EU airforce....snicker.
    A UK/US alliance would wipe the skies of Europe clean in a matter of days
    mmm .. Not quite days .. weeks ... The RAF would set themselves to defending the U.K coasts ... And would do so with relative ease having pre'empive strikes knocking out Europes major strongpoints ... It would take at least three not four for the Americans to arrive and deploy their air'alone forces alongside the Brutish, Most of the European nations would probally fall in on themselves .. The whole of europe alone would have a hard time trying to land in the United Kingdom, And with an American supported war you would have peace treaties signed in a matter of days, To the benifit of the United Kingdom and U.S alone .. Anyone who thinks that Europe can stand a high chance against the modern combined powers of the deep west is silly .. Never will the United Kingdom Or any other "old" commonwealth nation stand without the aid of others ... but then again ... Didnt the U.K just join the E.U .. *sigh* maybe Tony Blair should listen to the people and not jump straight into bed with a frenchie.

    Whoever is foolish enoug to believe that France had a remote chance of defeating the UK should be shot!

    The US acounts for 25% of the worlds navy. In second is the UK with 8.62%.

    They certainly have the capabilities of such a landing on France. So for you ney sayers take that. Also bring in the point of training the UK spends roughly 178,000 dollars per soldier Frace which cannout compete with that. You have to bring into account the experience that British forces have over the French.

    But who am I kidding why would they go to war with them anyway. Even though it would be hilarious to watch the French lose!

    The french foreign legion nd french commandos wouldn't stand a chance against british marines (british marines have one of the hardest training regimes) the british SAS is the best in the world or on par with the US Delta Force (apart from technology)

    And France has moved large numbers of troops very far around the world (Chad, Congo, Korea, Afganistan, Kuwait, Vietnam, Comoros Islands, Somalia etc...).[/QUOTE]

    But it got an ass whoopin in vietnam if i can remember this correctly before the us deployed forces in vietnam the us payed something like 70% of the french cost (also the french aren't given credit for afghanistan or kuwait because they didn't have large contingents of forces

    France...

    Your anti-French comments are pathetic. All you guys should read a history book sometime. Bigross86 your comments are a joke. So, tell me how many wars has Israel won in the last 2000 years? Ha, you guys not only lost to the Palastinians 700 years ago, you were also kicked off your own land....Maybe you should keep your hypocritical comments to yourself..... Fucking joke race.

    This is your first and last warning. Your racist anti-semetic slurs will not be tolerated on the forum.

    And where did you learn history? 700 years ago there were no Jews in Israel. And the Jews were originally expelled by the Romans, the most powerful empire in the region at the time. The Palestinians did not exist. And since Israel has only existed for 56 years, your question is stupid, but Israel has won 4 wars in its 56 years. While stupid false and irrational historical "arguments" are not against forum rules, I thought I would inform you to make it easier to keep from making racist remarks as they would be factually incorrect as well as bigoted.

    Hands down the UK.

    Most Very Possible .. If not in the form of troops or military aid then in the form of usage of their bases and constant supplies ..

    A) thats quite a leap of faith. What incentive would china have to fight on Frances side, same applies for russia. Europe I can see going to Frances side but not russia or China.
    B) Your examples(except europe) are all pretty iffy whereas if England was attacked you could bet your last dollar that the Americans, Australians, and Canadians would be sending a fighting force from hell to defend their ally.

    In just a strict war between UK and the Frogs(no help on either side) I would guess the Uk would win but do not know enough about it to argue. I mean to my understanding England have more carriers(3 UK; France has only one and I beleive it is currently out of service(i might be wrong)). But what do i know.
