Macron wants to get back to selling arms to Putin. F him

Macron is such a russian stooge. The real solution is to start taking Russian territory and make them negotiate to stop losing their own lands.
Yeah....that's a good way to start a Nuclear war so it isn't happening.
While my initial misgivings with the administration's (admittedly reasonable) strategy seem to be working out even worse than I feared, I will leave you with a humorous anecdote from my online Russian class the other night.
Some of you may recall that my teacher is Ukrainian, and despises the Russians, generally referring to them as orcs, cautioning us not to date Russian women "because they all like Putin no matter what they tell you," and letting us know that "oh by the way Yuri Gagarin never made it into space."
Well, on Monday, we were talking about an end of term dinner, and she remarks that we'll do that but that she doesn't go to Russian restaurants any more. "But," she continued, "I am still ok with teaching Russian to you, as my working assumption is that my students will use it to take the Russians down."

Are there a lot of Russian restaurants in your area? I think I've only seen two in my life in the U.S. --- one in NYC and one in Chicago. I like her spirit though! Oh, and pic?
I am in the DC metro, so there's a decent handful, including a Russian-Uzbek restaurant that makes the best borsch I've ever had. You can tell it's authentic because all of the Russians that come into the place stink to high heaven. Later this summer there's a noted Ukrainian chef who's opening a new place in DC, and another recently took over an american restaurant and is adding some ukrainian flair to it.
As to "pic," think of those memes a few hundred pages ago showing slavic women at age 20 and age 50. She's like 50.
Well, this could get interesting. If Russia executes captured Americans who have officially joined the Ukrainian army, what is our response?

Execution-Happy Russia Snatches American Fighters in Ukraine

I definitely judge Indian restaurants based on whether or not you see Indians eating there.
I couldn’t tell you if Essence of India is authentic cuisine, but half the crowd is always Indian, and it’s gooood.
Americans contemplating joining the war in Ukraine or already there need to know, however, that they risk violating the Neutrality Act, a foreign relations law dating to the nation’s Founding Era. The criminal liability risk mainly pertains if Americans join Ukraine’s forces within U.S. jurisdiction, or organize and launch a private military expedition against Russia while still within the United States.Well, this could get interesting.

Further complications are ambiguous terms in the law’s text, and that the statute has not been consistently enforced over the course of U.S. history. Some experts have predicted that Neutrality Act prosecutions of Americans for fighting for Ukraine are unlikely. Yet the law remains on the books, it has been enforced in recent years, and the Department of Defense last week pointedly urged Americans not to join the fighting. The risk remains that well-intentioned Americans could blunder into committing a crime.
I'd say that if they joined the Ukrainian army, the official US position should be that they are to be viewed as Ukrainians...

And here I thought it was all about NATO expansion. Silly me😎.
Sergej Sumlenny.....Russian born journalist and political scientist living in Berlin
In the previous post, the journalist mentions in several points that russia is conscripting ukranians as fodder and sending them to die on the front. he repeatedly says this many times. but wtf would ukranians fight for russia against theit own countrymen. or am i not understanding something?

"Take this gun and go shoot Ukrainians, or we'll rape & kill your daughter/mother/sister"
That clarify things?
I think he is referring to the very real situation where pro Russian Ukrainian rebels in east Ukraine and occupied parts of Ukraine since 2014 had their loyalty rewarded with them being used as cannon fodder.In the previous post, the journalist mentions in several points that russia is conscripting ukranians as fodder and sending them to die on the front. he repeatedly says this many times. but wtf would ukranians fight for russia against theit own countrymen. or am i not understanding something?

Saying that Russia, with their smaller their Italy economy, their shrinking and aging population, and their demonstrably shabby (and currently being heavily attritted) military are a threat to NATO nations is spreading MIC propaganda. Don't do it.
I don't think there is an answer then. Russians will keep doing what they do because everyone is too scared to hit them back. Until they start losing they will keep taking.
Bullies will keep being bullies until someone knocks them on their ass.
Probably would have been worse with La Pen.
Lot's of France 24 coverage of The Putin Three's visit to Kyiv in the linked thread. I'm not posting all the links to the thread for theses sellouts. I'm sure they'll start by telling Z that changing the spelling of Kyiv from Kiev is insulting to Putin. It will go downhill from there.

President of Romania. I don’t know why he is on this trip with the three a-holes. Whether he agrees with them or he was just unlucky.
