On the Fact that France is One of the World's Top 4 Arms-Exporting Countries, with a Significant Portion of this Firepower Going to Middle-Eastern Countries Such as Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Oman, and Morocco

Might THIS (the selling of military might to repressive regimes that potentially foment terrorism) be part of the problem and one of the main reasons why France is getting smoked every couple of months or so? Just a theory.
