The Telegraph analyses the rift between France and Germany over the way forward in Ukraine and the type of EU relationship with America

We are “united on this day”, Emmanuel Macron said after meeting Olaf Scholz in Berlin, and “determined never to let Russia win” the war in Ukraine.

The studied show of togetherness came after months of all-too public tensions between the two leaders, epitomised by the French president apparently blindsiding the German chancellor by declaring the West had not “ruled out” putting boots on the ground.

Also present at Friday’s meeting was Donald Tusk, Poland’s prime minister. Some joked that he was there to keep the peace.

This NATO Euroweenie backbiting should be music to all America First ears. NATO is a dead alliance walking. If Marine Le Pen doesn’t rid Europe of this megalomaniac twit, expect Germany to begin developing nuclear weapons for protection from European threats to its West!

The Krauts are buttheads and the French are surrender monkeys. What’s there to know?

Is it any different than in centuries past when all of Europe was fighting each other?

European wars continue to plague the Earth in the 21st Century.

Too bad the Deep State murdered General Patton. He and Churchill would have implemented Operation Unthinkable.

Be my guest. Was it misquoted? I see Euroweenie backbiting touches you where you are tender. No America First ears on that head of yours. I started to post it but found my “free” articles had been maxed out. Please, post the article. It has even more NATO Euroweenie backbiting than this article.

We can always send troops again to bleed, die and force them not to kill each other.

It wouldn’t have mattered by now. With no Soviet Union, no United States, no Russia, no whoever, these two nations would still be at each other’s throat, trying to kill each other.
