Did it surprise you that France stood up to Russia?

Question

I have to admit that I was shocked / VERY pleased to see the President of France take such a pro-Georgian stance. This has pretty much changed my thoughts/feelings about France almost 100%...now I know he was speaking for the EU but still, I think I like this new guy running the show over there.

--What do you think, good idea/bad idea?

Answer 1

About time. Probably without substance. I understand that French tanks have backup lights.

Answer 2

the french people got it socalism sucks.

Answer 3

No.  Not at all.

Answer 4

France was there at Yorktown, they sold us the Louisiana territory (Napoleon) and they kept the English too afraid to continue in future wars against the US during our infancy.  

Does this really shock you?

Answer 5

yeah,the french are moving to the right! they finally get it.

Answer 6

very surprised. maybe the new leadership in france will be a positive  thing.  

Answer 7

With this new guy in France and Germany as well I have a new outlook on them Many countries in Europe are moving right Still have a long way to go but it's looking good

Answer 8

No - their new president is Wise and it says great things about the French people that they elected him!

Peace

Answer 9

Now that you ask, I hate the guy and as far as him 'standing up', it was only sabre ratting, had it come to a clash of swords he would have run a mile.

Answer 10

No surprise as it is in their back yard.Georgia first and France next.He has more of a handle on what Americans are about than the previous President of France. Then there is thier suppy of oil.Take note that Condelezza Rice is now working on what he signed.
