Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron are forging a tight link

Less than three years ago Liz Truss, not yet British prime minister, could not decide whether Emmanuel Macron, France’s president, was a “friend or foe”. Her predecessor, Boris Johnson, mocked French diplomatic protest at AUKUS, a submarine deal that cut out France, with a flippant “Donnez-moi un break!”

Today Britain and France have put such theatrical rivalry behind them. As Sir Keir Starmer, the current prime minister, and Mr Macron jointly take the lead on Europe’s effort to salvage support for Ukraine, the Anglo-French tie seems more solid than it has for many years.

That’s a funny way of describing a reach-around.

Trump seems to be forcing EU-WEF socialist globohomo out into the open.

Pedophiles with WMD -- who do not even protect their country's own children and women.

I just hope DJT & Co can put a big enough air gap between the USA and these “allies” before they go irreversibly into the ten-horns-on-the-beast mode and all that implies.

I remember when France and the UK teamed up in 1956 (without the US) to take on Egypt over the Suez Crisis. Yeah. They lost badly. But, sure, Russia should be a cakewalk ...

There are a LOT of parallels between the Suez Crisis and Ukraine. Ike basically did what Trump is doing now.

Just wait until they try to figure who is going to pay for all their projects.
