The baguette of consequences

Un peut du buerre.
Un peu de beurre mon bébé
Désolé mon cheri. xoxo
With garlic sauce or even mayo.
300kt is quite the warning shot. It’s verging on just being a shooty shot
French nuclear policy is basically to first give them a really big boom, and then politely suggest you stop what you’re doing or the next bigger boom will be your capital.
This from the country that brought you “Nuke West Germany as a strategic retreat in the face of a surprise attack.”
Imagine if it’s not one of the extremist autoritharian reignes but fucking baguette-land that starts WW3. Ffs.
It’s not fair France gets to be so based
Reminder that Mirage 2000 is the only plane to have shot down an F-16. A greek Mirage 2000 shot down a turkish F-16. The event was kept secret in both countries for almost 20 years, to avoid escalation. Greece still today denies that it shot down the F-16. From wikipedia
On the eighth of October 1996, seven months after the escalation of the Imia/Kardak crisis, a Greek Mirage 2000 reportedly fired an R.550 Magic II missile and shot down a Turkish F-16D over the Aegean Sea near Chios island. The Turkish pilot died, while the co-pilot ejected and was rescued by Greek forces. In August 2012, after the downing of a RF-4E on the Syrian Coast, Turkish Defense Minister İsmet Yılmaz confirmed that the Turkish F-16D was shot down by a Greek Mirage 2000 with an R.550 Magic II in 1996 after allegedly violating Greek airspace near Chios island. Greece denies that the F-16 was shot down. Both Mirage 2000 pilots reported that the F-16 caught fire and they saw one parachute.

The turks had almost certainly shot down a greek military helicopter earlier and that was also kept a secret/both sides claim it was an accidental crash.
PS The surviving turkish F-16 pilot was immediately returned to Turkey after the rescue.
Greece had denied it being shot down and both Mirage pilots reported that the Turkish F-16 caught fire at random and only saw one parachute
I made up better excuses when I broke something as a kid.
