France puts it all in perspective

[Renauda]

They [The European Right populists] say they want peace. What neither they nor Trump say is that their peace is capitulation, the peace of defeat, the replacement of de Gaulle Zelensky by a Ukrainian Pétain at the beck and call of Putin.

Peace for the collaborators who have refused any aid to the Ukrainians for three years.

My emphasis. Well spoken and so true.

Thanks for posting and stick around a bit longer.

Great post on where America and Europe are today. To be fair France, Italy and a myriad of other European countries have have their share of psychopathic leaders. Our turn in America. That being said--if you are retiring to Italy (which I got from your intro) that is WAY MORE INTERESTING than some old political discussion! We all know what Jolly thinks ("them damn Ecuadorians need some culling on out") and Jon ("your understanding of the problem is sadly Frequentist not Baylean") and Mik ("the Cleveland River is smelling better--really, REALLY").

We don't know what it's like to move to Italy!

Tell us all about it. And I am personally in love with Stephanie Smith of Lionard Luxury Real Estate.

You link me with Cleveland? Heresy.

[Tom-K]

I'd thought you enjoy the joke! I'm sure the Cincinnati River is quite delightful!

But you gotta admit a contributor to the forum adding what its like to live in Italy is WAY more interesting.

More interesting then the usual old Trump sucks or Trump is great.

Leave the politics behind if you want. But you need to rub our faces in the fact of your cool life in Sardinia.

We don’t want that another dagos by that we don’t get pictures of hot Italian chicks.

[Tom-K]

Sicily (Not really, but that where I'd go!)

@Tom-K Too funny!

But yes, @nobody please continue to post so I can live vicariously through you.

[NobodySock]

I will give you some vicarity, (is that a word? It is now!) look at my piano search thread for some tasty rib eye steak i have just today been given to chew on

[Mik]

I think it’s vicariousness but who knows. We knew what you meant.

One of the best things about these forums is sharing your friends’ lives.

[jon-nyc]

I’m here for the inappropriate humor.

[Mik]

You ARE the inappropriate humor.

My post on FB was my decision to stop political postings as my point of view has been made clear. But here now? Woe be to thee who challenge my words of truth and decency and honor. I would continue such discourse as necessary until all minds here have Woke! The only change will be combining the two languages I will soon have command of in my posts. I always loved watching Hispanic ladies here in the Valle de San Joaquin make conversation doing just that. It is comical.

[Mik]

Gringo loco.
