Via #France24 - March 16, 2025

A #French member of the #EuropeanParliament has called for the US to return the #StatueOfLiberty originally gifted by the French people to mark the centennial of #AmericanIndependence because the US no longer represents the values that led #France to offer the statue.

French MEP Raphaël #Glucksmann, is suggesting that the Statue of Liberty — unveiled in New York in 1886 as a gift from the French people — should be sent back because the United States has chosen to side with tyrants.

On this day 3-yrs ago, March 16, 2022, Russian forces bombed the Mariupol Drama Theatre, it was a shelter for hundreds of civilians, including many children.

People sheltering inside the building painted the word “CHILDREN” in large letters outside to clearly signal their presence. Yet, Russian forces struck the theatre, killing hundreds of peaceful Ukrainians.

​In March 2022, Mariupol, a strategic port city on Ukraine’s Sea of Azov, endured a devastating siege by Russian forces. The city, with a pre-war population of 430,000, faced relentless shelling and airstrikes that led to widespread destruction and significant civilian casualties, the exact toll of which remains impossible to calculate while Mariupol remains under Russian occupation.

We will never forget the innocent lives lost that day. The bombing of the 🇺🇦 Mariupol Drama Theatre stands as one of the most appalling Russian war crimes.

@evan Stupid plan, don't you think, I mean, frankly, it is stupid that this is indeed neccicery ! The plan that you outline is a good plan, don't get me wrong, but it is stupid.

For you saying "is #nato #article5 also applicable betwéén NATO-members" there is some history: #France has a mutual defence argreement with #Greece because of the tread #turiye poses to Greece

The Kyiv Independent · West can send troops to Ukraine without Russia's permission, Macron says"Ukraine is sovereign – if it requests allied forces to be on its territory, it is not up to Russia to accept or reject it," French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview with Le Parisien.

The stationing of peacekeeping troops in Ukraine, as proposed by Britain and France as part of a ceasefire agreement with Russia, is a question for Kyiv to decide and not Moscow, French President said. japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/ #worldnews #emmanuelmacron #keirstarmer #uk #france #nato #eu #russia #russiaukrainewar #ukraine

'...obviously it’s a  worldwide fact that women have still a lot to gain. when i started as an  actress, i did everything possible to fight for myself. in a way, fighting for myself was fighting for women in general, but i always felt i had to be in a certain position in the films i was doing.'
happy huppert day, everyone!

digital ink & gouache illustration of the absolute queen, french actor, isabelle huppert. the reference for this drawing was taken from joseph losey's 1982 film, 'la truite'/'the trout'. her head is straight on, eyes boring holes through you. 'peut-etre' is printed on her her long-sleeved, white t-shirt. behind her is a deco cloud motif. colours are light & burnt oranges, peach, deep rose, grey & sea green.

@evan I suppose, ironically, we would basically be partially re-running the strategic situation in the 13 Colonies in 1776, though the larger power is, geographically speaking, now less advantageously positioned, from our point of view.

Sadly, this time I don't think #France is going to bankrupt its treasury to help out the little guy. Macron doesn't want to end up on a guillotine.

Be careful with those Product of #Canada labels. Especially in the vegetable section. I highly doubted leek comes from Canada in March. A closer look showed it is from France but at the bottom of the leek another tape said it was from a town in Quebec. I actually wonder if it is shipped or flown in to #ottawa from #France.
