And across their history as a whole, France has been a highly military nation.
Not saying the empire phase(s) were a good thing, but they’re not a tame or cowardly bunch.
Actually it's kind of an advantage. I'd want my enemy to underestimate me
But I agree it’s stupid to underestimate them.
But the (I would say false) characterisation is much older than that.
Puts you in a much better position now.
No one can ever assume another country will be consistent in its position forever - as has happened with the US, everything can change.
