  • Unfortunately you’re not wrong that many people don’t care 'bout the European election, on the other hand it means that there is a big intersection between the people who care about the European election and the ones who want to see more support for Urkaine, and for a political party it’s still an election with MEP and assistant positions to get, this is crucial to keep the party alive and prepare the post-Macron era.

    However, even though the power balance in the EU is too much in favour of the council rather the parliament, there is tons of laws coming from the European level (GDPR is a big one, but recently the EP voted against a medical visit for the driver licence) so this election has a big weight


  • European elections are ongoing, and that’s definitely a move to tell to pro-European to not vote for “certain parties”.

    You’re absolutely right that if we look at the material given, for once Germany is leading the “European defence”. And that realistically, moving “troops” to Ukraine will impact other front where french troops are fighting. So I am not sure which part of it is just word and whether it’ll change much the big picture. That said, I can see how even non combat soldier could be a drastic change. If you send military mechanics with the tanks you let Ukraine having more combat troops and avoid long retraining of support staff.








  • Not sure while everyone suddently pretends it’s not acceptable.

    I am absolutely not keen to let troops go on the ground. However, these the military options need to be openly discussed without any taboo. Not only it tells Russia If you don’t find an agreement with Ukraine, things will escalate, but in a democracy, you need to have parliament and politicians in the discussions, we talk about kids dying for Kyiv. Is it worth-it ? I don’t know, which is why we need to have this discussion.





  • Looks like a nightmare. From the News, the building was basically used to store radioactive source on the time of Marie Curie time, when people had no idea about basic radiation protection. So the building is full of radioactive dust, and the initial plan was to disconstruct it and store the fragments as in a radioactive waste landfill.

    Moving it seems like even more complicated (even though it means : No need to pay for radioactive waste storage). and I am not sure on the interest of keeping that building compared to others
