As I said power, freedoms will not count. Germany is a stronger, more powerful nation than France, in my opinion.

Thanks for voting. And thanks again to Trent. I really like that super short format and the straightforward, international politics topic. I look forward to more debates with you in future.

I agree, but a nations economy should be weighted more than military in my opinion. None of the top 44 economies have fought since WW2.

Economically, Germany is stronger. Military, France is stronger.

I prefer Germany as the nuances of it as a social democracy are superior to what France is as a social democracy. In fact I would say France is like a Republic that basically takes Democracy as a necessary means to an end (yes, like America but of course more left wing) while Germany, especially due to escaping its past, is a genuine social democracy.

" Germany exports more, produces nearly 3 times more oil, and holds the second largest gold reserves ranking just below America."

Actually, Germany relies more on oil from Russia than France, making them less powerful and relying on a foreign power.

dang, Oromagi got it, I know a lot about foreign militaries
