“We are evolving in a world of great powers, where there’s a real temptation to carve up the world,” the French president says.

      France is the only western country that wasn’t ‘dumb dumb’ after WWII and completely relied on the US.

      Starting with CDG France has a long history of being sceptical of the US and NATO as a guarantor for European security.

      Macron might be unpopular at home, but in terms of geopolitical issues and EU issues he is the opposite of a dumdum.

            It really depends if you are pro or against ww3, so maybe you are snitching your pro war position too. Are you enlisted to go yet?

              You’re a fucking idiot if you think appeasement and concession will avoid WWIII. russia will invade Europe if Europe doesn’t maintain their forces as a deterrent.

              Letting russia have its way with Ukraine isn’t being “anti-war,” you dunce. It would be rewarding hostile powers for aggressive military invasions, incentivizing others to do the same.

              But then again, you might be on the kremlin’s payroll, so perhaps you already know that and that’s your whole point for being here in the first place.
