Dallas erupts in gunfire at BLM protest

It has come to my attention that France was dunked on in WW2 after a decade of war preparation and barrier creation.

If France is so great and dominant as that expansion map shows, how did they get slapped across the map by a war-torn 2nd world nation after WW1?

Is it possible that all French land gains were not military conquests and/or victories, but rather litigated by zog (you called it French diplomacy in this instance).

Is it possible that France has never paid the Iron Price for anything?

Oh we did pay the iron price. More than you ever will. If you ever come to france, you'll basically walk on blood. You can go to any small village in france, and you'll see a monument to the dead that came from that village. I live near Oradour-Sur-Glane. Every year we still find bombs that didn't explode, and have to call deminers. Actually had to call them because we had some construction at my work, and the area had been bombed in WW2 since it's close to a trainstation.. just in case. At the current rate, we think we're gonna be done with them all in 800 years. There's even a 450 squared miles zone where it's forbidden to build or even live because it's been shelled so much. Ever heard of the "gueules cassées" ? well french have pretty much pioneered reconstructive chirurgy.. see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK0dQdfF9K4 (beware: can be shocking).

We're not trigger happy cowboys with war like you guys are. We actually know the price.

And what of that shirt and your necklace you are wearing right now? Did you pay the iron price for those as well?

Or did a diplomat negotiate them for you like a whore.
