️Macron says #France didn't choose to go to war with #Iran noting that "this is not France's war". So the degenerate #Macron indirectly admits that France "chose war in Ukraine"? Very revealing.

Putin has done everything to prevent a military conflict in #Ukraine, Volodin said: "The United States, Britain, #Germany, and #France are directly involved in the situation in Ukraine. And if only it hadn't been for the actions of their leaders <...>, there would have been no war in Ukraine.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Trump: “Macron? Su una scala da 0 a 10, gli do 8. Credo che ci aiuterà con lo Stretto di Hormuz”“Penso che aiuterà”. Lo ha dichiarato il presidente degli Stati Uniti, Donald Trump, rispondendo a una domanda su un eventuale ruolo della Francia per garantire la libertà di navigazione nello stretto di Hormuz. Trump ha confermato di aver avuto ieri un colloquio telefonico con Emmanual Macron. “Su una scala da 0 a 10, lui è stato da 8. Non la perfezione, ma è la Francia, non ci aspettiamo la perfezione”, ha detto il capo della Casa Bianca. Donald Trump ha spiegato poi di aver chiesto ad altri paesi di fornire il loro aiuto nello Stretto di Hormuz “non perché abbiamo bisogno di loro, ma perché voglio vedere come reagiscono“.L'articolo Trump: “Macron?

The local #green #LFI and random left leaning parties got a thumping in the local elections yesterday. LFI are a toxic bunch of idiots, who would manage to start an argument on their own with themselves. The soft green list did much better, and would have made a better partner than LFI for the race. The incumbent conservative did best and will remain in place but sadly the swivel-eyed fascist did quite well too...#france #saintmalo #Politics
