I'm not 100% sure about this, and I'm too lazy to check before posting this, but I think France is a lot more active overseas then you'd think based off the general American perception of them.

IIRC they do a majority of it in the former French West Africa.

hmm, if we Dutch would belong to a sphere, it would be a German sphere
France and Germany have apparently reached some sort of accommodation to establish a codominium over the European Union; Germany looks after the money side, and France looks after relations with the external world.
Well let's hope it's a temporary thing for you due to the infection then. Good luck.
The reason their relations have been improving is because France is trying to acquire the rest of the Rhineland and Germany Alsace-Lorraine. They've decided to do it diplomatically this time.
The problem is that most of NATO's big players think that Europe is their sphere.
Spheres overlap.
Then again, who are NATO's big players? The United States, with Britain and France as very distant seconds, and maybe Turkey, but then it's a bit of a pariah. That's it. Of these, France is probably in the best position in Europe.
Yes, but they create conflict - in this case more confusion than fighting - when they do.
The US, for obvious reasons, France and Germany, and the UK - although we've turned away from our European defence policy since 1991.
I don't know, their actions over the Euro seem to indicate that they see the EU as their baby to some extent.
I think you're confusing EU monetary and fiscal policy with NATO military relevance.
Sorry - I'm not talking about their role within NATO (it was just an easy grouping to use), I'm talking about the areas that different countries consider 'their backyards'
Then the issue evaporates. A French military half-hegemony is in no way incompatible with a German economic hegemony.
EDIT: Oh, hey, 26k.
Are modern cartridge pistols superior to modern revolvers? Or vice versa? Or is one better in some respects and the other in other?
I can't say for sure, but from what I have seen in various places, revolvers tend to be more reliable as the mechanism is simpler. However this is probably less significant today than historically.
On the other hand semi-automatic pistols are quicker to reload and have higher ammunition. They are also easier to conceal due to the flat shape.

Yes, that's what I meant.
So are revolvers more a matter of taste and looks, or do they have some real advantage? If not the reliability which say1988 mentioned.
