You know, I read that and thought that would be a good reason that France would no longer be a great power in Traveller: 2300 -- but not in T2K. By 2300, the rest of the world might have gotten real tired of having France push them around (unfortunately, sort of like other countries are getting real tired of being pushed around by the US these days). All great powers eventually fall or fade away -- usually because they've gotten too big for their britches. In T2K, France is the biggest kid on the block -- by 2300, the rest of the kids on the block might have gotten together and beaten the crap out of France.
