A Paris summit exposed deep divisions inside the EU as several governments signalled readiness to deploy forces after a ceasefire, while Washington refused to commit.

The links, first exposed years ago, are resurfacing just as French left-wing figures denounce Washington and downplay Maduro’s record.

The only future the president offers the French people is death—both literally and figuratively.

The new ship will be larger than France’s current carrier and capable of extended overseas deployments, according to the defence ministry.

Speaking after the European Council summit, the French leader said Europe may need to “re-engage in a full-fledged dialogue with Russia, in full transparency with Ukraine.”

France forced a last-minute shift in Brussels under domestic pressure, preventing the agreement from derailing in its final stage.

For the first time, the cocaine market’s size has surpassed that of cannabis.

Talks with Washington remain stuck over territory and the use of frozen Russian assets, leaving Europe and the U.S. far from a common position.

Talks with the British PM, the German chancellor and the French president will focus on coordinating next diplomatic steps.

In France, as in the United States, the anger of the ‘conspiracy theorists’ shows us the way.
