Why is France consistently the only country with a spine in here?
Always has been, thanks to Gaullist “strategic autonomy”. The cocky old man has been proven so incredibly right these last few years.
They have nukes.
I find it quite depressing, considering that our current PM is exactly what I would call spineless.
I actually think they’re trying to leverage it to gain back what was originally in place instead of caving in like everyone else.
Like right now Macron is talking big about announcing recognition of Palestine in September. He’s giving the US 2 months to bring a better deal or risk losing unilateral NATO support over American foreign policy in Israel.
I mean its good that they’re actually deciding these things for themselves, but if Trump hadn’t blown up the global market with delusional tariff wars and hanging “allies” to dry, France probably wouldn’t have blinked an eye for anything the US demanded so long as they get paid.
Macron trying to legitimise his dictatorship (he gave the power to form a government to a party whose leaders he’s friends with that achieved only 5% of the vote) and garner sorely needed votes for the next election.

So many people, businesses, and countries have given Trump BJs to stay in his favour and all it does it show him he can come back and bully them again for more.
But I’m sure it’ll work out this time.
He’ll be tossing them out windows like Putin eventually
It’s not been ratified yet. Time to put pressure on our MPs.
I suppose it could be a bit like a union deal no? The negotiators have a tentative agreement and then would the members ratify it? (Would members in this case European nations or representatives in parliament or something else? I’m unsure.)
Van Der Leyen is a corrupted piece of shit
Yeah let’s not listen to this piece of shit, or this piece of shit government, okay?
Looking at your down vote count, it’s pretty clear most people outside of France don’t know who François Bayrou is. He is indeed a disgusting lying magot. Even though I agree with him about the US-EU deal, this doesn’t make him less of a coward, lying, fascist facilitator and religious extremist.
