While Paris is on fire, President Macron is in China begging Xi to call off Putin

Shouldn’t Macron be tending to the mess he has at home? It’s a funny thing about these so-called democracies that are fighting the good fight against autocracy. We are getting a lot of that nonsense in Canada. Our Ukraine tab is up to eight billions by now. Is everything in Canada so hunky-dory that we can afford to piss away that kind of money on Ukraine? To say nothing of the financial commitments demanded of us so we can “stand with our allies.” That’s weasel-speak for “following orders from Democracy Central; the USA.” To that end, we are supposedly buying 88 F-35 fighter jets from the USA. It’s all about the “interoperability,” don’t you know. All us NATO freedom fighters gotta buy the latest over-priced, under-performing, USA military gadgets. Nevermind that the F-35, after being in the air almost 20 years, has never been combat proven. Ya, the Israelis used one to shoot down a drone, but that ain’t exactly a dog-fight. And you’ll notice there’s no talk whatsoever of giving the world’s most advanced fighter jet to Ukraine as they fight the ultimate death match for democracy. Is that because a) the F-35 is a dud, and exposing it to actual combat would destroy future sales, or b) Ukraine’s hari kari for freedom and democracy was just a load of claptrap, and Biden and all the parrots in the poodle states were just joking around with all that “whatever it takes” bullshit?
