Rien d’étonnant pour un président qui écoutait la pensée politique de Patrick Buisson.
(Ses ancêtres « gaulois » à lui s’appelaient Sarkozy, hein?)
La boucle (de la honte) est bouclée.
"Il ne pèse plus beaucoup dans la classe politique mais tout de même, le symbole reste fort (....) Nicolas Sarkozy est furieux contre Emmanuel Macron, qu’il pensait avoir mis dans sa poche depuis son élection en 2017. Celui-ci, en effet, n’a pas tenté de bloquer le retrait de sa Légion d’honneur, ni les juges qui ont condamné l’ancien président à cinq ans de prison ferme pour association de malfaiteurs dans l’affaire libyenne de financement de sa campagne présidentielle."
Petit bonhomme. Vraiment tout, tout petit bonhomme.

Then the EuroWesties rediscovered “Graecum”, got a thrill & a Renaissance, suddenly felt smarter, & looked down upon us, Easterners, asking: “but why didn’t *you* have a Renaissance?” 🧐
🙄 Because we, Orthodox, never stopped being in touch with Greece, Byzantium & Greek ideas.
Graecum est, non legitur: “It is Greek; it cannot be read.” In the 1340s hardly anyone in Latin Europe read Greek; by 1600 it was taught and printed across the West. A map of 8,232 Greek manuscripts, 126 Greek teachers and scribes, and 419 first editions:

I-am răspuns în germană lui @Alice_Weidel , președinta @AfD, un AUR al Germaniei, care s-a trezit să acuze românii că ”jefuiesc sistemul social german”.
Mesajul e și pentru așa-zișii suveraniști de la AUR: ăștia sunt prietenii voștri patrioți din Germania, pe care îi admirați și pupați în fund.
Trimite videoul la un român care lucrează în Germania!

And there we go, @Alice_Weidel.
Welcome to the EU’s 6th largest country public debate.
This is not just going to stay without any sort of consequences.

🇷🇺 🇧🇬 This confirms my suspicions about an underground coordination between the Bulgarian PM office and their Kremlin friends : using the Bulgarian EEZ (and maybe more…) to undermine Black Sea stability and security.
Suspicions I openly expressed on @Digi24_HD this Wednesday.
Has anyone asked how policy makers in France think about the Bulgarian decision not to intervene after
- Bulgaria requested greater NATO assistance in monitoring the Black Sea
- France provided it’s newest maritime surveillance asset
- France spotted an incoming threat and relayed a warning to Bulgaria
- Bulgaria did nothing, despite their Air Force assets being up and in the area

Since 2018, when Russian 🇷🇺 flags were displayed during the Yellow Jackets movement. I was in Paris those days and saw enough of those, plus the faces of the “protesters”.
And yet in 2019, 🇫🇷 was jumping ecstatically in Russia’s bed for an intimate conversation on “trust”.
As a Romanian living in France, what I witnessed this weekend was not a typical French protest. Having called France my home long enough to see my share of street movements, I can tell when a line has been crossed.
Burning cars, trash cans, looting, street blockades, and clashes with police are, unfortunately, routine. What is new is the direct targeting of symbolic civic and cultural institutions. The sheer intensity of violence between demonstrators and the state signals a dangerous shift, yet the reaction online is a collective shrug.
Dismissing this as "standard French riot" is a mistake. It blinds us to how legitimate domestic anger is being actively leveraged by foreign hybrid operations (including russia).
Outside actors are injecting radical anti-military slogans and polarizing anti-immigration rhetoric into the public debate around student marches, weaponizing digital polarization to split society ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
France has rarely felt this divided. This is no longer just local turmoil, and its fallout won't end at the French border.

Darling, one can appreciate France 🇫🇷 and STILL be extremely critical and severe with the endlessly wrong options they make since 1981.
Discernment is superior to blind loyalty—but that’s what Macronites and macronsplainers always failed to understand.
Yes, Macron is a disaster.
Anyone who admires 🇫🇷 is left saddened by this weekend’s violence
Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, it will further polarise public debate and politicise the streets. France risks avoiding the big questions about its future that really matter

C’est en fait le paradoxe de Tocqueville qui nous éclate à la figure.
Dans l’un des pays qui redistribue le plus au monde, le pays qui égalise le plus les conditions objectives d’existence, qui donnent le plus de chance à tous, qui donne culture, éducation et enseignement supérieur gratuitement à tous, qui respecte le plus les droits de l’homme, dans ce pays de cocagne donc, une part significative de la population est persuadée qu’elle vit dans un enfer d’injustices et de violences systémiques.
Comme l’avait très bien montré Tocqueville, plus il y a d’égalité, plus les inégalités qui restent deviennent insupportables. Notamment parce que la société méritocratique, par rapport à l’ancien régime fondé sur la naissance, a cela de terrible qu’elle rend les gens responsables de leurs conditions.

I will take France 🇫🇷 seriously on Europe only when their political vocabulary will exclude words like “Russia”, or when they will be able to pronounce “Russia” and still have a spine.

Nu putea Sorinel rata ocazia să nu se strâmbe în fața acelei Uolguțe dǎ Mar a Lago, pompată cu hialuronic.
Se lăudau cu cât cer mită și cât au băgat în buzunar în primele luni din an. Că doar n-or fi discutat despre arta contratimpului la piesele de Bach pentru clavecin.

Second offering in this Egyptian thread is a most glorious setset, as the Sun God Ra baths the ancient pyramids at Giza in a golden glow. This spectacular Autochrome plate was taken exactly 100 years ago in 1926 by Jules Gervais-Courtellemont. It is not colourised.
Do you have a better replacement for security partner than 🇺🇸 ? Unless you forgot about the pro 🇷🇺 traditional politics of 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 and the joyous indifference of 🇮🇹 or 🇪🇸…
