Anything?? Are you sure?š
Macron just woke up 6 months laterš
So he is willing to send the Zionists back to Europe? You said, "everything to avoid escalation".
France must take their a## out of middle east for bringing peace.
Does anyone care?
Not that it is bad that France wants todo something to avoid escalation, but the only ones who can actually stop it is the US
Why does French have Bases In Middle East??š
Jordan should b ashamed of itself for giving air base these European hypocrites ….
Yet supports the terrorists that attacked Israel oct7
He was, literally, trying to escalate the war with Russia by sending troops into the Ukraine.
Everything = absolutely nothing
