If you are French then you probably don't know that your economy is kept afloat through the military occupation of former French colonies in the African continent where rare materials and wealth is extracted from their lands in essentially arbitrage-pay the poor African colonies pennies and resell it on the international market at disgusting multiples. So the fact that you cannot see the link between offensive military projection capabilities and your economy suggests that this topic is not very well discussed sort of like how you can't read about the United Fruits company in American history textbooks or the genocide of native americans in the millions through biological warfare and weaponized poverty pushing their descendants further into poverty and irrelevance-even Canada does it openly.
