After the fall of Artyomovsk, page-17

"if i had to pick a reliable friend it would be France Italy Germany"

Please recall the events of WWII for those countries.

Okay I will.

1. Germany and Italy never really liked each other.
2. Germany saves Italy from their incompetence in Albania.
3. Germany invades France.
4. Vichy France and Italy are unreliable allies.
5. Vichy France collapses militarily and Germany rules directly over a population that constantly supports covert partisan activity.
6. The Free French continue fighting.
7. Italy folds and starts fighting against Hitler.
8. Germany is driven out of France and the French start killing each other again.
9. France gets bits of Germany despite being incompetent during most of the war.
10. There is a genocide of Germans after WWII on top of the holocaust.

Great allies. France tried to screw us with the sub deal. Long lunches were practically locked in. Wong wanted to make our poor little nuclear armed France was shafted by mean old Australia bullying little Marianne. LOL.

PS

If a supervillain asked you a city he was going to nuke, would you say Paris or Milan?
