None of them have been in perpetual conflict on the other side of the planet. Can you really not see the distinction here?

Wait wait wait you don't think France has been?! Not only with their former territories in Africa but also in Asia. The Vietnam wars roots go back to Franch and their fight from 1946-1954?!? In 1950 France even asked for our help in Vietnam???
I mean look at France and New Caledonia right now lol

  1. Saying some other bad actor is doing it too is not a good argument.
  2. The scope and consistency of global conflict is not even remotely comparable between France and America.
I don’t think it’s accurate to say that France has been engaged in a military conflict far from its own territory consistently for over 80 years. I’m open to being wrong about that particular point but it doesn’t change the broader point about the US government being a unique global belligerent.
