A #French member of the #EuropeanParliament has called for the US to return the #StatueOfLiberty originally gifted by the French people to mark the centennial of #AmericanIndependence because the US no longer represents the values that led #France to offer the statue.

The stationing of peacekeeping troops in Ukraine, as proposed by Britain and France as part of a ceasefire agreement with Russia, is a question for Kyiv to decide and not Moscow, French President said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/16/world/peacekeepers-in-ukraine/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #emmanuelmacron #keirstarmer #uk #france #nato #eu #russia #russiaukrainewar #ukraine

Flashback: In 2021, Australia's then conservative government backstabbed the French to trash a multi-billion deal for high-grade submarines all to suck up to the United States for the privilege of paying for their nuclear submarine bases on our soil.

The 'deal,' known as AUKUS, involves Australia handing over hundreds of billions of dollars for Virginia Class Submarines which, most agree, will never be delivered and which the current US leader can not even name.

In February, Australia handed over a cheque for $800 million as part of the arrangement.

All for technology that was obsolete twenty years ago and, even if delivered, will get murdered by the first wave of hostile submersible drone swarms it encounters.
