In 1966, after years of friction with the US over whether France should have its own independent nuclear deterrent, the French president, Charles de Gaulle, withdrew his country from Nato’s integrated command (not, however, from the alliance itself – a common misconception) and asked all US forces stationed in France to leave. In response, the US secretary of state, Dean Rusk, asked de Gaulle: “Does that include the dead Americans in military cemeteries as well?”

In a single weekend, JD Vance’s direct attacks on European democracy at the Munich Security Conference and his meeting with far-right, anti-European political forces in Germany, have given de Gaulle his historic vindication.

There are some things that you avoid saying for as long as you can, for fear that just uttering the words will help bring them into being.

    I love how you just keep repeating that Russia burnt through their stockpiles as if it’s going to make it true. This is basically all you’ve done in this thread. You just keep repeating the same nonsense over and over like a broken record. You have absolutely no clue regarding the subject you’re attempting to debate, and you’re unable to engage with the discussion meaningfully. What you’re doing is just creating noise here. You can continue believe whatever wild fantasies you want, but that’s not going to change the material reality of the situation.

      You’ve produced no evidence to the contrary. Covert Cabal has done the counting. You say it’s nonsense but have nothing to counter it with.

        I did, but it’s clear that you don’t care about evidence. Go listen to some more propaganda over at Covert Cabal to make yourself feel better. 🤣
