    And what? I hate the Fr*nch language in Fr*nce, Canada and Switzerland too. All the frog-eating sounds and useless silent letters aside, the reason I hate its place in NATO especially is because the Fr*nch have requested special treatment despite being surrender-prone traitors who whined and almost left. Unlike Canada and Switzerland, NATO does not have a Fr*nch-speaking population significant enough to warrant special treatment. They are absolutely capable of understanding “NATO” and “London” like everyone else, they only request “OTAN” and “Londres” underneath because they’re whiny bitches. You might as well give it to every official language of a NATO country, which is what I did in this graphic I made of a “fair” NATO logo where everyone gets to be equally entitled as the Fr*nch:

    Extended NATO logo. There is still just one compass but the light/dark blue checkerboard pattern continues for 22 rows, and instead of NATO and OTAN, the following is written in the right half: ОСАД, SAA, NATO, ONAV, ΟΒΑΣ, OTAN, PALO, PAPL, ÉASzSz, AB, ONAT, ŠASO, ZALO, OSAS, NAVO, OTPA, DAB, OSAZ, SAPO, OTAV, NAFO, KAAÖ. See table below for list of languages and what the acronyms stand for.

    Do you get it now how ridiculous pushing multiple languages in the front can get? I’m all for acceptance of race and culture but huge multinational organizations should either pick one language or bear the difficulty of using all of them.

      Oh sorry, I thought we were having an adult conversation without insulting countries. Sorry you hate the French. You must be full of joy.

      whined and almost left

      This is called “havinge le backbone” in France, you should try it.

      French is an international language, and also, is the language of international jurisprudence, which more that warrants it’s use as a OTAN official language.
