Dann hast Du ja anscheinend noch weniger Ahnung vom deutschen Militär als ich. Starkes Stück. Internationale Kooperationen sind i.d.R. nicht sehr fruchtbar für die deutsche Rüstungsindustrie - zumindest wenn technologisch komplizierte Waffensysteme im Spiel sind.

But he must have been happy for the help ( and the clean premises vs Mali, CAR, CDG, etc. ).
There's a rumor in Paris to the effect that Le Drian spends so much time abroad
signing contracts and visiting troops that without his chauffeur, he couldn't find his

Hint, Jean-Yves, it's in the 7ème! ​

Great evening all, Tay.

P.S. Vauban, moi tout seul/me only, you're right, I don't find him as enticing as their ladies
but since even mini-Frankie is apparently a bona fide womanizer / French lover, who knows?

Pis Nabila comme ministre, ça va pas aider la R&D des masses!

Yup, Kerry went to school in French speaking Switzerland as a kid and spent his summers at his grandparents home in Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, France.
