Me 'pulling the war card out' if that's what you choose to call it does not mean I don't acknowledge the huge sacrifices made by numerous other nations. However, that's totally irrelevant in the context of a debate about the very great offence caused to the UK by a jumped up EU official whose sneering attitude typifies the mentality which helped lead to Brexit in the first place. He could have just given his speech in French and no even mentioned English bu he couldn't resist the opportunity to insult.
It's really not necessary for us, each and every time we mention the major role the UK played in 2 world wars, to qualify that fact. It's perfectly obvious that without the UK, US and Russia's involvement, the Nazis would now be running the show but people from all around the globe fought and died. Juncker wasn't deliberately offending them though was he.

No they'll henceforth conduct their all negotiations in French.
