France joins China to condemn Israel’s attack plans, veering from US position
Beijing and Paris issue statement denouncing planned Israeli offensive against southern Gaza city following talks between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.
France has always had its own interests, and also wants to free itself from US political and military domination over itself, but it is still a country that cannot be trusted.
Am I really going to see a Fr*nce redemption arc
Doubt it, they are likely trying to win favor with China after sending more boots to Ukraine which I imagine Xi gave Macron an earful about. France is always happy to say something that "goes against the grain" but then still fall in line when the rubber meets the road.
gonna be a long journey if that happens
Words are cheap. Especially words spoken by Western politicians. We should judge them by their actions.
Are they not still sending combat troops to Ukraine?
China is starting to look a lot less “bad guy”, and France a lot less weak.
That meeting with Xi was productive
yup
Will they quit sending weapons/funds? Condemning doesn't mean anything if actions don't reflect that.
rare france w
America's dog is about to get whipped for stepping out of line
I would nod my head in mild approval but considering their stunt with Ukraine I can’t give them much but a raised brow. I usually welcome condemnation of Israel but this one is just… you know?
Oh yeah, France continues to be deplorable overall.
