Anti-Semitism among the French Right is legendary. They aren't in Germany's league because, well, who is? But they could give Russia a run for it and that's still the Show.
 
Reports of Ukraine destroying a 12.8km long Russian convoy on its way toward Izyum, part of the Russian strategy to surround the Ukraine forces outside the Donbas region and cut them off.

Not seeing that... Source?

I'm only seeing reports of them moving towards the Donbas region. Not a single report of any attacks on it in the last several hours.
 
S&P downgraded Russia into "selective default."

Russian GDP is projected to be down 11% this year. Ukraine down 45%.

MSNBC just ran a report on the Belgograd convoy, which is 11 km long. They did not mention any UA impedence.

Like I said, reports. Haven't had definitive confirmation yet.

Yeah, I think that might be some confusion. There was a separate column that was attacked and then there was the assmassive column and I think people are getting the two confused. Maybe they're one and the same, but the reports I was seeing from Oryx and Rob Lee made it seem like they were separate locations. Again, could have been my misinterpretation.


Unrelated, but explicitly unconfirmed reports of an unknown chemical agent being deployed in Mariupol via UAV. Again, every report I've seen of this event makes it very clear that this is unconfirmed.
 
Fun fact: Ukraine owes the IMF 22 billion dollars, so all those amounts being raised for UA are going right into the hands of the same bankers who refuse to include an oil embargo in the Russian sanctions.

Capitalism: everything magnified, good and bad.

I know many Francofiles will shiver at this, but France's treatment of minorities during WWII wasn't exactly glowing. More was done to protect Jews in most other countries, let alone the number of participants in the malice- so France's history isn't exactly glowing WRT minorities, immigrants, and human rights.

Yeah, they still treat immigrants like crap, even when they learn the language and become naturalized French citizens. If you aren't native-born, you'll always be second class there. Frankly, they are worse than much of America on that front.

France has an excuse: it started as an ethno-state. We started as exactly the opposite.
