The UK Vs France?

Question

Who do you think will get get their *** whooped if war breaks out now between these two at the moment? I know its unlikely they will do so but just out of curiosity, whts your opinion?

Answer 1

would have to go with the UK as winners. they've been more up to date with modern warfare, and have some practical experience with amphibious operations with the semi-recent Falklands war. They seem a little bit more hard core as well, especially having to have combat troops with real-time experience in Afghanistan and Iraq.

If you believe that the mentality of the nations is the same or similar to WWII, then the UK would do well provided that they just don't stop all the time for afternoon tea, and the French would just throw up their hands and surrender. . . more likely in todays world, they'd just go on strike :)

Answer 2

Are you all on Glue! I love France but England is by far the better country in terms of contribution to humanity. And as part of the UK even better.
Think of your life and the inventions you use – I could start with the internet and then the computer! Both English inventions that changed the world. The UK is where the modern age started. The list is endless, industrialisation, steam engine, electric motor, photography, internet, light bulb, telephone, jet engine, railways, television. Basically without England you would not be sat reading this.
Also the UK was the largest empire ever known to humanity - born from England. A quarter of the globe and one in three people were Queen Victoria’s subjects in 1900. Bigger than the Roman Empire. Still to this day Queen Elizabeth is still Queen of the commonwealth, Canada , Australia and New Zealand. France is gorgeous but she is never quite managed this. England can hold her own in a scrap – Nelson, Wellington, Liz fighting the Spanish armarda, for a couple of years England stood alone against Nazi Germany after France fell in a couple of weeks.
England is a very small country yet punches hugely over its weight. Culturally she continued on this vein. Have you heard of a guy called William Shakespeare? Or others such as Charles Dickens, Noel Coward, Jane Austin, Percy Shelly, Lord Byron, Conan Doyle, George Orwell, Charlotte Bronte, Daniel Defoe, Lewis Carol. I could go on for several pages here. Musically England is the epicentre yet again – have you heard of a band called the Beatles! and Rolling Stones? David Bowie? Elton John? France again is fab but her worldwide cultural output is less.
I would also like to mention that you are reading and probably speaking ENGLISH. The universal language.
If you think England is full of Chavs then you need to stop sitting in McDonalds and go for a walk in the countryside. Try Derbyshire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Cornwall – all gorgeous. It does rain in England but there’s no grass greener or country thus.
Long live the Queen!
France is amazing but England is the mother of civilization. I should have just said Shakespeare and proved my point!

Answer 3

UK easily - we have the best trained armed forces in the world and are a bunch of vicious little bastards!! France would take itself apart as there are so many different people there that hate one another and when was the last time the french armed forces actually did any fighting?

Answer 4

The UK would win. France would likely surrender after its foreign legion units were chewed up by British forces.

Answer 5

UK hands down, in fact its likely the french would surrender before any one died

If you believe the French would, I have a rifle to sell you and it's
