I think his top priority was to avoid confrontation. He has experience with dumb politicians from his time at the bank of England.

Carney had to use a word Trump understands.

But remember folks, calling this a genocide is antisemitic.

Never underestimate the destruction that stupid people in position of power can do.

Granted, but I was just pointing out that the act of burning teslas isn’t something that people do to “destroy cars so that Elon gets less money”. Mussolini wasn’t hanged upside down because his heels were stronger than his neck.

The goal is not to destroy cars, it is to destroy what it represents.

France is not like the US. There’s no such thing as a party line and party leaders do not have as much influence on members as is the case in the US.

You could have replied with Charles de Gaulle’s Wikipedia page and it wouldn’t have been less relevant.

(Btw this means you don’t know what you are talking about)

In the future, please try to verify if what you’re saying is true before you post. It make you look like a troll.

Interesting read, thanks!

If 3 years ago someone told you that Trump would give Elon Musk the mandate to dismantle the US government and RFK would be secretary of health, you would have called him a lunatic.

The article you cite talks about military spending, not industrial capacity. Russia is running on a war economy, Europe isn’t; this large difference in spending is to be expected. Surely Europe realises it cannot rely on the US for defense anymore, so there’s a possibility they choose to dramatically increase its defense spending. If Ukraine loses the war, a lot of European countries won’t have too much trouble convincing their citizens it needs to be done. The reason Europe has no “concrete solution”, like you said, is because they won’t accept the kind of compromise Putin would want. Now that the US decided not to be an ally anymore, I don’t think they’ll just stay there doing nothing.

Right now I can’t find any reason to exclude this possibility honestly

So what happens if Zelensky sides with Europe on this one? How does the US apply its peace plan if it’s been negotiated solely with Russia? The only way I see this working is the US sending troops to fight along with Russia…
