Checking if I’m still banned from this community after I said Ukraine was not gonna enter NATO.
Edit: yay, now I can say “I told you so”
You were never banned from this NCD.
But congratulations for predicting that Trump would be elected and now celebrating it, I guess?
Nah actually my comment was Ukraine wouldn’t join NATO regardless of acting president because it wasn’t within the USA’s interest similar to how they stalled F-16 access for 3 years.
Also yeah I was banned from the reddit copy NCD lol: https://sh.itjust.works/c/noncredibledefense
I don’t think France would want to open up the indemnity/ reparations conversation…
They aren’t? They are talking about a loan which has nothing to do with indemnity / reparations.
They financed the US independence movement / war out of self interest to screw on England and any way they got paid with the Quasi-War.
Looking at history the US were never a reliable partnet, cough remember the maine cough.
…menage à trois…soixante-neuf…
But aside from those, what have the French done for us?
Yeah, uhuh. I think if you look at the papers, that debt was owed to a king whose head ended up in a basket. 🧺. That was, hmm, quite a few French republics ago.
Meanwhile, why don’t we discuss that little Normandy caper that one time
Sure let’s talk about Normandy.

More specifically, Lilly estimated that U.S. servicemen committed around 3,500 rapes in France between June 1944 and the end of the war.[10]
Rape per capita in 2022 France: ~116 per 100,000 men
Rape per capita in 2022 England and Wales: ~234 per 100,000 men
Number of American troops in France during WW2: ~2,300,000
Estimated American rape per capita in WW2 France: ~152 per 100,000 American soldiers
By those numbers, it would be safer to be a French woman with an American soldier in WW2, than to be a woman with an English man today.
cut this crap.
- Your numbers are
wrongcherrypicked - Your hypothesis is wrong

I just read that Wikipedia page. Someone’s already changed it to 4500.
No citation and nothing in the body that supports an actual number like that.
Someone is playing games. I would not consider that page particularly reliable, at the moment.
Edit: I didn’t see any edit log for the number change, so maybe the poster changed it just for his comment and the math. However, still no actual citation supporting either number.
Since you decide to be salty and whiny about a joke, let’s educate you a bit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succession_of_states
Sorry, that deal was made with the French royal family, not the republic. It’s null and void.
If you transfer debts and loans they’re still valid, it’s what the ussr Russia exchange did.
