He laughs at one point at something the guy directly behind Bowie was saying, but I somehow get the impression it was mean-spirited!

Well, the terms that Clémenceau insisted on were pretty absurd and short-sighted. But I am not excusing the rise of the Nazi movement!

... legitimate justification of German aggression to the East other than the calculation that everyone else in Europe was too cowardly to intervene. So of course it was in British interest to halt this--even if Hitler would have left Britain alone at first, it was eventually an existential threat.

...have had Western allies intervening but they decided it wasn't worth it. Only then did von Ribbentrop and Molotov (with Stalin drunkenly smiling in the background) divide up ALL of Poland. Obviously Versailles was a disaster and led to Nazi Germany but let's not pretend there was any...

But the Germans didn't start with Poland. They took some and then all of Czechoslovakia on the excuse that a minority Germanophone population was being denied their rights to be gloriously united with the Fatherland (sound familiar to anyone watching Russia re: Ukraine?), which already should...

Guy hires cleaners, assigns them an unrealistic set of tasks to do, places irresistable bathing products near the shower, turns on camera hidden in the vent, leaves for a few hours. Rinse and repeat.

I admittedly don't have the best feel for the full dynamics of the interplay between Seoul/Kyiv/Moscow/Pyongyang, but it seems that Zelensky has had more challenging diplomatic hurdles than some throwaway line to help South Korea save face here.

The absolute worst scenario for France would be Le Pen and Mélenchon emerging from round 1, not because he is nearly as bad as her but because he's the only candidate I'm not sure enough people would really around to keep her out.

I've met much of the younger generation of the LFI and then getting into power wouldn't be that bad, but the old guard (and Mélenchon himself in particular) are not the change we can believe in. But I agree, not going to happen.

The wife does the same. Which is annoying because one of them looks like a rubber bone.

I've read so many fesses that I was fully expecting this to be an activity hidden from "the wife", a sort of daily pre-dinner.

What I will concede is that I think his choice of "être prêt à sacrifier certaines positions" sounds a little too much like the literal tactical withdrawal demanded by the Russians when there is little chance that's what he actually meant. But he could stand to be more vague and just "peace huzzah".

I'm also an atheist since day 1. As I said, I don't expect religious leaders to express a view other than "war is bad". But this particular statement is more than that. He seems to be offering advice that concessions should be made to Putin. That won't lead to lasting peace. So he isn't helping.

I clearly said that I didn't want to expect any religious leader to be pro-war, but he should probably sit this one out if that is all he has to say, because you don't have to squint too hard to see it as a call to capitulation.

Absolutely. I'm not saying someone in his position can or should ever be a war hawk, but he needs to sit this one out if that's his contribution.

That's not where the Nazi label comes in for most people. That comes in from her dad being a Holocaust denier/downplayer who built his political base on some very racist segments of the French population, and his daughter has a similar vibe. And she was financed by Putin-linked banks, for extra fun.
