Le retour aux années DeGaulle et Pompidou >_<
Sur les chaînes d'info, la parole lycéenne est inexistante. L'adultisme de ces encravatés est digne du XIXe siècle. L'enfant n'a la parole que si on l'y autorise, et on ne l'y autorise jamais. S'il moufte, les châtiments corporels étatiques s'abattent sur lui, et ces gens trouvent ça très bien.

“America is a big country, inhabited by many consumers."

It is much harder to crash the US economy than I expected.

Mark Carney of all people sounds like DeGaulle on steroids
Merz was as pro-American as you can get and he is now sounding like Macron. I think that horse is already out of the barn.

Obama could be the Dems’ DeGaulle figure if he wanted it, which for whatever explanation he clearly doesn’t

If he wanted it could be Obama, as he’s still the most widely admired figure in the party and he’s a naturally gifted leader, but he’s missing right now
Next person up is AOC who wants a to fight, but lacks broad support. This week might cement her bona fides with angry rank-and-file Democrats

Eisenhower didn't give a shit about some reds in the French Resistance. He had to keep DeGaulle on board

The Provisional Government of the French Republic was a national unity government that included the Communists. The concern was there but tertiary at best.
DeGaulle was primarily concerned about:
- Paris uprising being crushed like Warsaw
- military occupation by UK/USA
- his own influence

The horrifying 'lesson' is not 'you know, actually DeGaulle and Bevin were right to want to be able to resist decolonisation by having their own nukes', it is 'if you got nukes, keep 'em, retain optionality'.
