I still can't see where stating the fact   that "the French have lost every war they have fought in the last 800 years" can be construed as 'blaming' anyone for anything, by any definition of the word 'blame'. If you interpret this as 'blaming', would you be so kind as to explain your understanding of the word 'blame'. I, myself, cannot see how stating an accurate fact about anything can constitute 'blame' in any sense that I understand the term.
