I agree his sabre is smaller, but France is not a weak country by any means. When it comes to the ability to project power globally, France in among the strongest.
They are also a very hard country to defend, regardless of power. Certainly harder than the U.S., and has been attacked many more times in its history than the U.S. Such things build a culture with a principle of fierce retalliation for when it feels threatened. The U.S has this same principle, but maybe not a vocal. Israel is the same way.
