[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This exchange between Donald Trump and the French Ambassador to the US: [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CTu6ZHBWwAAiKnI.png[/img][/quote] I spent much of last summer in Paris and in the area of Lyon. Trump's assertion that "armed population" could deter this distorts the "facts on the ground" in France. Unlike the US, where we have a civilian police force on our streets only ( and I like it that way frankly), in France atleast what I witnessed all summer is that the military is out in force at all public monuments ( like Eiffel Tower) all train stations, many parks. Similar to what you see only on White House lawn : armed in flak jackets hands carrying loaded machine guns and walking patrol. At Eiffel tower we even saw them run into the bushes after someone ( with machine gun drawn. Literally, the miltary were everywhere you looked and I don't see how an armed civilian could do " better".[/quote]
