Avant de parler d'armee, on pourrait inventer un nouveau système de représentation nationale. Par exemple 300 a 500 personnes prises de manière aléatoire dans la population pour un mandat de 2 ans. Avec un système tournant permettant de renouveler complémente lassemblée nationale tout les 2 ans.

Bravo! Europe needs to stand strong and united against the fascist axis that is forming (Russia and its junior partner the US, for starters)

Yes, we must prepare. To many tyrants are taking over politics,

What is his reason for coming to America? Because he said he’s showing up to meet Trump.

luisangel7.bsky.social•2 days ago

If you have a pension plan, let me tell u that most of the funds are invested in companies like Tesla, Amazon, etc., please review your investments and consider reallocating them to 'cash' / 'gold'. It looks like they are deceiving us from behind

I offloaded all of my US stock a couple of weeks ago. Investing in UK-EU stock exclusively now.

France is a nuclear power. Why's he trying to get the French all spun up?

endofthe.bsky.social•1 day ago

Because it has nuclear weapons it must have a strong army. Trump and Putin are inciting war throughout Europe. Without a strong army France will have to use nuclear weapons, and it probably does not want that.

When was the last time this asshole won an election again?

roddy13.bsky.social•1 day ago

He's stood in 2 (2017, 2022) and won them both by record margins, so perfectly legitimate. Personally I'm not a fan of his domestic policies, but he's 100% correct on the threats facing France.

scooterbones.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh, so none since Ukraine. Has anyone in the West won an election on the back of this bullshit?

roddy13.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's 2 since Ukraine. Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, and his main opponent backed Russia (and also received a hefty loan from them).
Off the top of my head in the last couple of years, UK, Italy, Spain, Poland. Probably more but can't be arsed looking.

scooterbones.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don't think you would call France majorly involved in the response. Unless you're acknowledging Maidan as a coup, but I assume you don't. So UK and Italy, which the incumbents lost, than a bunch of peripheral countries. Real sterling endorsement here.

scooterbones.bsky.social•1 day ago

France majorly involved in response by 2014, I mean

Yes as an American with family buried in France KIA WWII I am so sorry
But please urge your neighbors to ramp up troops
Ukraine proved Russia is weak
I’m afraid next step is Poland

canadiancreed.bsky.social•2 days ago

Being invaded three times in 150 years doesn't hurt.

You will get millions of expats from the US when the time comes. Many of us would never fight for the MAGAt Berder King.

gwendo-ash.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hope so. We have the French Legion that welcome army people from all over the world. I'd bet there'd be disgruntled, 'not-bending-the-knee American military personnel (those who booed Boozy Kunt in Germany and the Generals who've been fired) that would join Europe in this fight against Putrid.

amymarie.bsky.social•1 day ago

“Expats” haha, no my brother we call those refugees

mouldybags.bsky.social•1 day ago

🤣

jasontootall76.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes I stand corrected. Not sure if there’s another term but I don’t mean just seeking refuge. I mean if the neo-Nazi’s under trump decide to try and take Canada, we will want to fight along side Canadians.

melaniewildman.bsky.social•1 day ago

Freedom fighters and we would welcome you all 🤗

amymarie.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ah, yes: in that case also “defectors.”

gwendo-ash.bsky.social•1 day ago

Bravo, Macron, j'espère que les Français comprendront l'urgence. Et je me demande si on ne devrait pas faire appel à tout militaire de joindre la Légion Française. Il y a sûrement des militaires américains qui refusent de se battre pour Trump mais qui veulent se battre contre le Kremlin.

oomm1234.bsky.social•2 days ago

If you are a young man in NATO countries you would be wise to look into moving. They genuinely want fucking blood. Insane.

endofthe.bsky.social•1 day ago

To russia?

roddy13.bsky.social•1 day ago

👏😂

oomm1234.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ideally to a neutral country that would not be affected by a global conflict. Maybe, like, Thailand or something. But there is genuinely a large chance that NATO paper pushers are going to start the largest armed conflict in world history now. Which is absolutely insane.

Trump has emboldened Putin the same way he did during his first term.

my2centsay.bsky.social•2 days ago

France and the EU will invade Russia.
3 Countries cut off electricity from Russia.
Denmark and Finland have cut under sea cables supporting Russia.
Russia will be invaded from the North thru Poland while Putins troops are in attacking Kyiv and Crimea.
BUT WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH IT?

Force Trump out?
