Despite her outrage, Le Pen risks a political ban that is increasingly common in France

PARIS (Reuters) -French far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who in two weeks will learn her fate in an embezzlement trial, says prosecutors demanding she face an instant five-year public office ban have waged an unheard-of assault on her presidential hopes. The 56-year-old National Rally (RN)...

The Euro elites can go eff themselves

Oh, they’re going to. And hard. In many ways, already have.

Europe is Atheist now with Socialist governments.

Russia is Christian with a Conservative (although Dictatorship) government.

Hell we are closer, culturally, now to Russia than Europe (that isn't a compliment towards Russia). Europe is more like USSR today. Why should we stay friends with them?

Jesus Christ is going to ruin their continent for turning their backs on him. Expect some II Kings/II Chronicles type action on Europe.

 

[volbound1700]

That's true, but since this is a World War I type of war and the Ukrainians have been on the defensive most of the time, common logic would state that Russia has heavier combat losses due to their constant attacks against fortified positions. Still, yes, Ukraine has a personnel numbers issue.

To be fair, France was on defensive for pretty much all of WW1 with Germany occupying 20% of their land and yet they still won.

Probably. Lots of people do. Voluntary joining should also mean voluntary leaving. In fact, the Federal government had to "court" the states to entice them to join. Civil war could have been avoided if they had continued that approach.

I always thought the best way to peace is the Greco-Roman way. Wipe out all your enemies until no one is left to fight.

Honestly, our federal government isn't much better than Europe's. We are drowned with globalists at every level.

Economy going in the dumps due to Net Zero and failed leadership..Never let a crisis go to waste and gotta find work for those unemployed auto workers..hey lets have VW make tanks and reminiscent of WW2..and they call the right the fascists.

Republican Party
Democratic Party
MSM
Neocons (destruction currently in progress)
Globalist (destruction currently in progress)
Europe (just starting the destruction phase)

What has happened over the last 60-80 years will unwind fairly quickly the other way. Europe is now on the chopping block.

6% of the adult Russian population regularly attend Christian church services, and only 15% say that religion is important to them.

One of the highest divorce rates in the world at 4.7/1000 people.

303 abortions for every 1000 live births.

20% of the population abuses alcohol on a regular basis.

The government has legalized domestic violence.

Not to mention th fact that a Russian soldiers regularly decapitate and torture Ukrainian POWs.

No, only in an evangelical Christian's 'Book of Revelation wet dream' is Russia "Christian" or "conservative".

That's true, but they wouldn't have won without British and American boots on the ground along side them.

What?

France was on their home turf for most of it, but they certainly weren't on the defensive for most of it. Many of the famous battles Marne, Somme, Ypres 1 & 2, Paschendale were allied offensives. The germans really only had 1 major offensive against the western allies, from '15 to '17 and that was Verdun that actually saw the Germans lose more territory than it gained.

Haig wasn't hated by his troops because of his defensive strategy, he was hated because he just threw troops at the Germans. The French went through a number of field commanders because their offensives were equally as bloody.

man you have a twisted sense of history.

very few greek or roman wars ended when there was no one left to fight. its an extremely dumb way of doing things. it drags the fighting out for longer, meaning you take more losses. it destroys more of the land and assets, diminishing the value of what you are gaining. and without a large local population and some sort of administrative structure in place the land you took is not going to produce until you can import a population, which just causes further issues. it also tends to make the next enemy fight harder because they know you are just going to kill everyone.

even when their own rebelled it usually lead to the ring leaders being killed and then decimation (1/10) of the soldiers being killed.

Carthage is probably the worst case of destruction, but that was only after 3 wars, and an invasion of Italy, and even still they took prisoners/slaves. destruction was pretty never the first option.

Keep shilling for a corrupt dictator, my man, just don't expect me to jump on board.

Another good try.

Find me a single post anywhere where I have supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
A. Single. One.

Until then, shill on.

How many of our tax dollars does your little friend funnel you to post here, anyway, Hunter?

Likening Ukraine attacking Russia's means of financing their invasion of Ukraine, to the Russian war crime of attacking civilian first responders tells me exactly where your proclivities lie.

Ah, so you couldn't find a single post where I have supported Putin or Russia's invasion of Ukraine, so you decided to hallucinate about my "proclivities". Color me shocked.

Additionally, you somehow managed to avoid mentioning any post where I have expressed being anti-Russia in this conflict or where I have supported Ukraine taking the steps they feel need to take to win this war. Thanks for identifying yourself as someone whose delusions means he can't be taken seriously in this discussion. Your struggles with nuanced, complex thoughts are also noted.

Clean the corn chips off your belly, along with the cheese and salsa from your keyboard, and carry on with your message board crusade, warmonger.

<angry face crying>

Why would I need to seek out any other posts that you've made? As I said it's readily apparent from your response to my own post, where you stand in your support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

 

[Ritzwatch]

^^^ OK, that is pretty funny. I don't actually LOL at many posts but "<angry face crying>" made me do it.

Kudos to you. I may have to borrow that sometime.

Slava @BeardedVol for that one.

The Germans occupied over 20% of France and held it throughout the war only falling back towards the end in 1918.
