France is only going to continue fund the Russian military for 5 more years. It is nice that they are speeding up the process away from fossil fuels, but 5 more years of funding a military invasion is 5 years too much.

If you donate money to a terrorist organization, there is a general assumption that those money will go to terrorism. This is why donating money to terrorism is a crime.

While many who know history know very well Yalta agreements post WWII about NATO expansion in the eastern Europe, violated from the start to divide Berli…

Yes, I'm sure. I actually a friend who used to live in Kyiv (now with his friends in Turkey, safe). And after a stint in the Ukrainian nightlife, he worked at a security company. He is visibly not Caucasian, and while he was confronted with more racism than in France, Ukraine is still less racist than Russia. Also, Zelenskyj wasn't invited to néonazi parties in Austria and wasn't used by European far right as an example and some kind of support.

So yeah, Russia started 3 wars, the US 2. The agresser is clearly Russia.
