the speech of Laurent Fabius that tried to turn France into something it is not:
"It's time to receive the peace dividend"
France is historically a warmonger and it's not healthy for a country not to accept what they are so it's time for the whole world to eat baguette. a baguette for you, and for you and a funny mushroom baguette for you because you have been nasty: baguettes for everyone!
you made an huge error: it's not a Gripen but a Rafale... Our french lady has two engines and the special french touch, can't be mistaken with the sweden lady :P
anything "with USA" is almost dead plan if it imply acting against russia right now...
We can see the 2 number 1 behind him so right now he is on a mine soooo Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru....
thanks Finland for almost solo carrying EU on the Artillery category 🤣
there are 2 problems with that:
- We are not sure the successor of putin will not be worst than him
- We have yet to see if russia will stop their hybrid war on EU when the peace is signed in Ukraine. (hybrid war that started waaaayyyy before the Ukrainian invasion, during the middle of the 00')
Trust between russia and all others european countries are really heavily damaged. The east part of the EU will needs decades before they can decide not to veto anything positive to russia. Poland is the new gravity center of EU and still has yet to forgive WW2 invasion and the split of it's country.
We should think as United States of Europe / Not United States of Europe... Being between two power hungry "president" should push EU to move toward federalism but only after Ukraine and Moldova joined (and I'm sorry for Switzerland that will be stucked in the middle of one country: your fault for that 😛 ). Federalism would mean 1 army, 1 diplomatic voice and the end of the mess that we showed to the world during that crysis.
From what I understood it's more EU will increase their military spending up to 700bn and in it there is the Ukrainian package (which imply that EU is just doubling their military spending).
Even if it's that, I wonder if it was on putler bingo card since it means that EU spending will be almost on par with US spending while having common border with ruzzia, an Ukraine close to joining that alliance and with EU article 42-7 that will protect once and for all Ukraine from ruzzia once the peace is settled.
He must be enraged by that huge increase in military spending and that's good :)
well putler said he wanted US Military-Industrial Complex outside of EU, he forgot to ask for EU not to becomes a US bis MIC wise 🤣.
nooooooooo we said not the mommies or the dogs... Or the donkeys... You can say he died like a ruzzian resupplying the front on a bicycle 👍
France is self sufficient since during WW2 the US tried to force Churchill to stop supporting Charles De Gaulle and instead support a more easily controllable puppet (François Darlan). US was really close to succeed but Darlan's murder forced the US to finally accept against their will De Gaulle.
De Gaulle learned it and after the war he turned the country into anti-US politic with a complete and self sufficient army and a completely autonomous nuclear program ( UK still need US approve to use their nuke).
