OK, so is France gonna do anything about it?

France helped Israel develop its nuclear weapons. It will take much more than a condemnation from France.

Nice to see that at least France is doing what it can to stand up for the right the thing, in both Israel and Ukraine.

Not a controversial stance for an European nation but the joint statement is interesting. Could this be a part of a deal for China to flip on Russia. Does China choose to stay with an ideological reactionary ally or move towards collaborations

Or, alternatively, this might be part of a deal for France to flip. Turkey already did the same thing, so they wouldn't be the first in NATO.

It used to be "from french fries to freedom fries". Time for mac-burger to become /e/OS-burger?
