French President Emmanuel Macron has the solution for putin’s daily nuclear sabre-rattling.
With putin acting like a delusional, playground bully throwing daily nuclear tantrums, and Trump constantly threatening to abandon America’s allies and pull the US out of NATO, Europe has been left in a seriously tight spot.
But French President Emmanuel Macron isn't just sitting around waiting for the worst to happen. He’s stepping up with a massive power move to show the Kremlin that Europe can bite back.
France is using its own nuclear arsenal to keep putin guessing and finally secure the continent with or without Washington.
The Telegraph:
“This is the moment Emmanuel Macron showed Vladimir Putin he means business. Standing in front of a new nuclear submarine singing La Marseillaise, the French president conveyed one clear message: if it has to, France will use nuclear weapons to protect Europe from Russia.
Europe can't defend itself from putin without the United States. But Donald Trump keeps threatening to pull the US out of NATO.
We've had no support from, essentially no support from NATO.
Mr. Macron thinks he has the solution.
Here's how Europe learned to stop worrying and love “la bombe”.
France and Britain are Europe's only nuclear powers, but only France has airborne tactical nuclear weapons, which can be launched from its Rafale jets.
Now Mr. Macron is signing deals with countries like Britain, Germany, and Poland, making it possible for the jets to land on their bases in a plan he calls "forward deterrence”.
But planes will move in secret around Europe, creating a strategic ambiguity that will force putin to think twice before attacking. Allies will perform joint nuclear exercises in a show of strength.
Now, tactical nuclear weapons are less powerful than the big missiles launched from submarines like Trident or the French subs, but they are more flexible. Fire a nuke from a sub, and it's the starting gun on World War Three. But a tactical nuke can be a warning shot.
Now France's nuclear deterrent is not part of NATO, which means putin has to think about French decision-making, even if he can ignore the US for some reason. This is all creating another European-controlled line of deterrence behind the US shield.
Working together, France and Britain can buy precious time for the rest of Europe and themselves to rearm with conventional weapons, including precision long-range missiles capable of striking deep within Russia if vladimir putin ever dares to attack”
Je fais partie de ces 2️⃣9️⃣% de français qui voient en @SebLecornu les qualités, les compétences, le sens de l’intérêt général qu'il porte en lui pour être Président.
Monsieur le Premier Ministre, il faut y aller, on est avec vous pour 2027 ‼️

Il ne faudrait pas dénoncer l’extrême droite islamiste avec L’Abandon ni l’extrême droite iranienne avec Persepolis, car cela ferait le jeu de l’extrême droite française. C’est d’une absurdité totale. Se taire face aux extrémistes, revient justement à faire leur jeu.
@realGiuliano_S Délicieux ! Bon, la prochaine fois je maitriserai mieux les temps de cuisson et je remplacerai le Riesling (très bon quand même) par un Falanghina.
Sérieusement, à quand le livre de recettes en librairie ?
Résumons la critique (anonyme) du @HuffPost : il ne faut pas parler des crimes commis par les radicaux musulmans, car c'est forcément d'extrême droite. La soumission islamo-gauchiste jusque dans le crime.
Americans, Brits, and Russians need to remember the 1994 Budapest Memorandum.
Ukraine voluntarily surrendered the third-largest nuclear arsenal in the world.
In exchange, Washington, London, and Moscow pledged to respect Ukraine’s borders
@ObsDelphi@chumunue Léa Salamé n'est pas journaliste, elle est influenceuse. Ce qu'elle cherche fondamentalement c'est faire des "coups" médiatiques et se mettre en avant pour flatter son égo. Si elle peut gagner plein de sous parce que ça fait de l'audience c'est encore mieux.
Day 13 of the war.
I’m Sariraa. Hello.
• Though honestly I don’t even want to call it a “war”. “Attack” feels more accurate.
- The air defense and military systems of this stupid, bloodthirsty regime couldn’t even take down a seagull.
- Iran’s sky is basically an open highway for fighter jets that come in every day, drop bombs, and leave while their propaganda media keeps claiming victory, saying they’ve sunk American carriers and shot down jets. It’s honestly ridiculous.
• People film the explosions and laugh in the videos, saying “thank you for hitting them.” You know why?
- Because this child-killing regime only gave weapons to the IRGC and its proxies so they could kill their own people in the streets. It’s unbelievable to me when I see people upset about this war.
- We’re under bombs, missiles, and rubble and still satisfied, I don’t know why some of you complain about war.
• If oil and gas prices have gone up, don’t think that’s permanent. Cut a bit from your extra spending for a month and you’ll see that after Iran is free, everything will recover in the best possible way.
- Also, don’t even give impressions to accounts connected to the Islamic Republic, they’re completely delusional.
• Another thing is that we’re trying to save our energy every day and hold on to hope for better days.
- For now, there’s enough food. Water is available. Electricity is still on.
- The only thing missing is the internet we have to try hundreds of VPNs just to connect for an hour during the day, and that’s another move by this child-killing regime.
• Anyway, we are brave people. What we want from all of this is the end of the Islamic regime and the return of freedom to the people.
• Thank you to everyone who has always supported us and supported ME.
- Thank you for your kind messages.
- Here’s to a future without terror and terrorists. A future that is free.
- Here’s to the victory of the Lion and Sun of Iran.
MACRON: The G7 agreed that recent events in no way justify lifting sanctions on Russia. They must continue, and this must not weaken our focus on supporting Ukraine or our clear stance on sanctions against Russia.
We ask everyone to please take a moment to sign this petition calling on the Australian Government to protect the Iranian women's national football team and allow them to remain in Australia until their safety is guaranteed.

Today on International Women's Day, these courageous women face severe consequences for refusing to sing the islamist anthem at the start of a game. Regime media called them "traitors." If forced to return to Iran, they could face the death penalty.
To every Iranian in Australia:
Don't remain silent. These women are your sisters, your daughters, your own people. They showed courage in the face of a monstrous regime that punishes even the smallest act of dignity. You have a voice the regime cannot silence. USE IT. Contact your local MP and urge them to act.
Stand with these brave women. 💚
As an Iranian immigrant, I want to clarify a few things for people in the West about the war.
1. We don't expect you to be pro-war. There are many reasons to oppose it, and we can discuss them. (Like how our tax money is spent.) But
The Iranian women’s football team has been kidnapped by the Iranian regime in Australia.
They were branded “unforgivable wartime traitors” for refusing to sing the national anthem of the Islamic Republic and may face execution back in Iran.
This is life or death.
SAVE OUR GIRLS
En réalité c’est de la condescendance. Ce qu’elles n’acceptent pas pour elles, oppression religieuse et masculiniste, elles l’acceptent pour des femmes qu’elles considèrent inférieures intellectuellement et socialement. C’est la fin de l’universalisme.
