I have some quotes about French sentiment, and it basically revolves around their need to have national grandeur despite being a lesser power.

France is all fanfare and rhetoric. Its fun stuff to play with in our imagination, but the ground reality of the world is different.

What's the ground for this? Where's grandeur in this declaration? Your comment tell us more about your disdain for France than anything else.

Just switching country names does not really work. The US is the very curious case of a super power that attempts to become a third world country.
