Re: Confessed War Crimes

Why do you think Trump despise the ICC ? He wants to be able to kill as many civilians as he wants without having to be accountable, like his big friend Putin Khuylo.

He's now attacking the US judiciary system, attacking the fundamental basis of democracy: the separation of powers. Each day going, the US is becoming more and more an authoritarian state, with the support of all the Republican sycophants.

Re: les queer studies?

France develop and build it's own military equipment.

And more important, its own nuclear weapons and vectors, planes and submarines, built and usable without any interference from the US, which is now objectively the new Russian ally.

De Gaulle was really clairvoyant and wise. To be truly independent a country must be able to defend itself by itself.

Now, I expect that European rearmament will be about buying European weapons which are at least as efficient as american ones. It will boost the European economies, favour local industries, bring jobs, all things which are very positive. .

New World Order

For too long too many European countries relied on the US. This was such a mistake. Only a strong, united, determined Europe can face the threats coming from the East and from the West.

First of all, let stop buying US weapons. We have more than enough competences and factories in Europe to be able to defend by ourselves. Let stop giving money for Trump's minions, having in exchange weapons that could be left unusable if the US decides so. Independence starts by arming ourselves, without the need to rely on unreliable countries.

It's time for UK to make a choice between Europe and the open sea, being part of the Continent or becoming a US dominion.

Chamberlain was a bloody idiot who threw Europe into WW2, and so was Stanley Baldwin who refused to support France when Hitler made the remilitarisation of the Rhineland.

Appeasement led to WW2. Trumpsky's alignment with Putin Khuylo could mean WW3.

I wonder how all these so-called 'Republicans' can continue to glorify their leader when he is a traitor who sells the US to Putin Khuylo. Stalinism is coming to the US. Who would have thought this would ever be possible? One could believe every US soldier who died for liberty died in vain.

Re: No more USAID
