    France here, our mainstream media is currently either billionaire-owned and pushing Trump and Musk admiration or publicly owned but influenced by our current government (Macron and co.) which does everything possible to cosy up to billionaires so they haven’t yet (and probably never will) called Trump a fascist or Musk a neo-nazi.

    You came and died in France during two world wars in the 20th century but I’m afraid France as a nation isn’t gonna have your back in this timeline - except if we manage to elect a real-left government next time.

    Good luck!

      I was kind of expecting this, thanks for your honesty. Many people in Canadian sub talk about NATO’s article 5, but the truth is nobody can send military gear to the nose of US navy and aviation across the Atlantic. An article 5 would be nationalization of US asset in Europe, reversing all investment in the US and maybe expelling the US from military bases in Germany. Not much would be done on Canadian ground.

      Free media and journalists encouraged to dig deep and challenge things is a big part of democracy.
