America is not France. A war here would be exceptionally bad for everyone.
Edit: Apologies, I am American and appropriately self-centered. I was not even considering a global stage. I strictly meant modern America is a completely different stage than 18th century France, and just assuming that it will play out the same is a dangerous mindset.
Indeed. The technology of bread and circus is much better developed than back then. So it will take a whole lot more for the American poor to get up from their over-entertained and over-fed asses and revolt.

Good point, as we know France was a globally irrelevant country at the time.
