This sounds eerily familiar. I’m picturing him in a bunker, yelling at his generals.

Fishing boats? Are they going to pull a reverse Dunkirk on Taiwan?

Go bring that sarcasm to Ukrainians - I’m sure they’ll love it.

OK then, but that’s still idiotic.

If so, that’s an idiotic strategy. It would be like Palestinians suicide-bombing EU countries to make them stop Israel’s war.

I think mostly selling Rafales, but I’m not French so I can’t speak to their motivations when choosing who to vote for.

Many on the left are under the misapprehension that being a pacifist must mean being defenceless.

Are you suggesting they simply ignore the defence treaties they signed with allies? Who do you think they are, Russia?

What exactly would they be defending? France is out of range.

I see the geopolitics understanders have logged on…

The carrier is there strictly in a defensive posture. no? I’m not aware of France being involved in any attacks on Iran.

They don’t either, so you’re in good company.

Oh, in that case I agree completely - the root cause is demand in the US.

Do you think the Mexican government isn’t already trying to do that? They clearly don’t have the resources to pull it off.

Sacrificing their only remaining ME ally is definitely not worth a transient distraction in the news. Losing Syria was a huge blow for them.

Agreed, this US attack on Iran is not going to happen. The best guarantee of this is that Russia won’t want it to.

It sounds like someone blowing a raspberry. The terrible name notwithstanding, I hope Carney can pull this off. I found him a bit disappointing in his first quasi-year in office but this would really deliver on his promise of Canada being a leader of the middle powers.

That’s why oligarch-owned media are so important.

“anything I don’t like is treason”

For some reason a lot of y’all wanna bend over backwards to defend this shit.

🙄

Pray tell, what would these dumbfucks even know about science that it’s worth leaking?

It’s unlikely that these dorks are leaking military info (and why would the US even care?), but they should definitely be investigated. I think the real question is whether the US are using “force or violence”, which would fall under C) and A)
