PARIS (AP) — France’s prime minister decried the U.S. pause on providing military aid to Ukraine as “unbearable” on Tuesday, describing it as tantamount to abandoning Ukrainians and allowing for a possible victory by Russia.
“The word ‘suspension’ fools no one,” Prime Minister François Bayrou said, addressing French senators and mounting what was his second sharp criticism of the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump in as many days.
“The suspension in war of assistance to an aggressed country signifies that the aggressed country is being abandoned and that one accepts — or hopes — that its aggressor wins,” he said.
“It’s obviously unbearable,” Bayrou said.
The French premier, a close ally of President Emmanuel Macron, also argued against strong pressure that the White House is exerting on Ukraine to give in. Bayrou said that Ukraine needs to keep fighting for its very survival.

Feel free to step into the breech, FRANCE.
Give peace a chance, Frank.
Then open your own country’s checkbook and send them some cash yourselves.
“It’s obviously unbearable,” Bayrou said. And unforgivable.
Note that the word "pause" in this context actually means "stop".
Every once in a hole you have to remind toothless wimps that they are toothless wimps. Embrace the suck France, you are all wind and no substance.
Big talk from a country that only sent 2.7 Billion to escalate the war.
And reneged on the promise to send more.

Frog Prince. Means nada
I find the French to be unbearable as well. All gym suit boy had to do last Friday was show up properly attired, say thanks and smile for the camera. But NOO, he had to blind side the President on live TV and show his ass to the American public. Screw ‘em. He’s Europe’s problem now
Sucks to be so sad and so French.
Just picture that these people are all hard left American democrats, and then you will understand their antics.
This is all politics, their behavior is inappropriate, and they desperately want to defeat Trump and to avoid being replaced by populists.
We’ve had to bail their goofy arses out twice over there with our own blood and treasure at extreme cost.....no more!
Belly up to the bar and pay for it yourselves, ya socialist morons...
That's one of the things I keep thinking.
What happened to "War is not healthy for children and other living things" ?
What happened to "The thought of war just blows my mind." ?
What happened to "War never solved anything" ?
What happened to Bette Midler, singing From A Distance ? All those fine-sounding lyrics:
From a distance, you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance, I just cannot comprehend
What all this fighting's forFrom a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And it's the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
It's the heart of every manIt's the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
This is the song for every manAnd God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us
From a distance
All of that stuff is now proven to be nothing but political posturing for a short-term election win. It was all BS. Virtue signaling.
Send in the foreign legion.
Pay for it yourself.
So blow the dust off your checkbook, Froggie.

Yes, they’re invited to make up the difference!
Screw you, France. We’re tired of giving our hard earned money to countries who hate us.
Don’t like our conditions? Fund it yourselves, you parasitic ingrates.
