Что я читал ночью
Глобально-стратегические размышления какого-то мощного ума: Is France the world's next superpower? http://theweek.com/articles/682836/france-worlds-next-superpower ...Like the former star student athlete who screwed up his one shot at the big leagues and spends his days pining for what could have been instead of enjoying his middle-class life and family, the French painfully feel that they coulda been a contender.
But perhaps now is the time. The confluence of Brexit, Donald Trump's presidency, and German decline provides an unparalleled opportunity for France to become one of the world's leading nations. и т.д. и т.п.
хехе. Тут нельзя не вспомнить такое «Сколько нужно французов, чтобы защитить Париж? Не знаю, они никогда не пробовали», или «Сколько передач у французского танка? Шесть, одна передняя и пять задних».
