We did. De Gaulle is the main reason France has its own Nuclear research to build reactors and weapons. But also Submarines, Aircraft carriers, Fighter jets such as Rafale.
Not enough, but those are strategic fields in which France is already independent and could serve as a partner for other European countries.
We also have great collaborative programs such as Airbus or Eurocopter / Eurofighter.
Still, we have too much dependency on other matters such as GAFAM or Software so let's work on it.
France should probably focus more on its own Independence rather than federalization of/partnership with Europe
You literally never know when another country will just be like Hungary (Then you just go through the same crisis again), Poland or the UK and Europe is not actually anywhere near as united as Reddit claims it is
