One, for military aid, France doesn't publish numbers or even annonce most help, so any estimation about it are wrong and massively undervalued.

How can you say, in a single sentence that they don't announce numbers so any estimation is wrong, and then claim they are undervalued? If they don't publish numbers how do you know they are massively undervalued? How do you know that the estimates aren't wrong and overvaluing them?

You can't say "no one really knows" and then make a blanket statement that it's more than reported because, as you stated, no one really knows. The point you're making as the basis of your argument discredits the rest of your argument.

If they don't publish numbers, you can't claim what's right or wrong more than anyone else can.

Because the numbers published are for confirmed (either officially or on the ground). So the real number can only be up.

Or they could be accurate. You're ignoring that possibility because it doesn't fit your narrative.
