Summary

France is stepping in to provide military intelligence to Ukraine after Trump froze information sharing with Kyiv.

According to French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu, “Our intelligence is sovereign. We have intelligence that we allow Ukraine to benefit from.”

The U.S. suspension cuts off vital information Ukraine uses to track Russian troops and select targets.

President Macron has ordered acceleration of French aid packages to compensate for American withdrawal.

    This is good news. France is really stepping up lately.

    Expect Freedom Fries back on the menu in the US soon.

      When that shit popped off last time there were restaurants putting signs outside saying “We proudly serve freedom fries” where I live in a deep red state. Made it easy to pick who to boycott.

        There is a silly movement in Canada like this now. They want to call the Americano the Canadiano. I think it’s silly.

        My company is about to start serving espresso. I’m going to call it a North Americano on the menu just to be snarky.

        Joke was on them: no one in France call them “french” fries anyway. So no one cared when they were re-labelled in the US.

        They were invented in Belgium…

    Please don’t judge Americans too harshly. They just don’t have intelligence to spare anymore. They have no trace of intelligence left in the White House.
