    France has always had its own interests, and also wants to free itself from US political and military domination over itself, but it is still a country that cannot be trusted.

      Doubt it, they are likely trying to win favor with China after sending more boots to Ukraine which I imagine Xi gave Macron an earful about. France is always happy to say something that “goes against the grain” but then still fall in line when the rubber meets the road.

      Words are cheap. Especially words spoken by Western politicians. We should judge them by their actions.

      Are they not still sending combat troops to Ukraine?

    Will they quit sending weapons/funds? Condemning doesn’t mean anything if actions don’t reflect that.

    I would nod my head in mild approval but considering their stunt with Ukraine I can’t give them much but a raised brow. I usually welcome condemnation of Israel but this one is just… you know?
