Button 1: Admit the war didn't go according to plan.
Button 2: Invent another spectacular victory.

[French Response @FrenchResponse]

Rejection is hard 💔 but falsely blaming France won't make it hurt less.

Russia gave up its seat the moment it invaded Crimea — choices have consequences ♟️

Which country crossed whose borders?

[French Response @FrenchResponse]

One side is discussing the terms of peace.
The other is discussing missile trajectories.

Reality can be inconvenient for a convenient narrative.

[French Response @FrenchResponse]

Someone tell him about the UN convention on the Law of the Sea? Article 110?

[French Response @FrenchResponse]

A government that casually burns through its own population (and others’) inevitably starts joking about everyone else’s death too. #MorbidPanic

[French Response @FrenchResponse]

Europe has been “finished” so many times that countries are literally queueing to join it.

[French Response @FrenchResponse]

Companies voluntarily operating in Europe, then discovering Europe has laws, remains one of the great recurring dramas of our time.

[Jean-Noël Barrot @jnbarrot]

Les appels de certains responsables politiques français à un retrait de l’OTAN sont déraisonnables et totalement inconséquents.

[French Response @FrenchResponse]

Strange argument: “Russia feels threatened” while invading neighbors.

La bataille des récits bat son plein.

Et nous en sommes une cible récurrente.

🇺🇸 Mr. Ambassador @BillWhiteUSA,
I urge you to exercise greater restraint and to view your role in its proper context. It is inappropriate to publicly criticize a country and tarnish its image simply because you disagree with judicial proceedings. I have already told you this. Would you consider it acceptable for our Ambassador in Washington to do the same?

In Belgium, the judiciary is independent and makes its decisions—whether one agrees with them or not—free from any political influence.

I recall that the proceedings in question were initiated by representatives of the Jewish community themselves. To portray those as a country’s desire to undermine the religious freedom of Jews is defamatory. This freedom has never been called into question and never will be in our country. Our Constitution protects it.

And it is not for an ambassador to dictate the government’s agenda.
