Related: About this forumRussia is Freaking Out About France's Latest Announcement - Paul Warburg
France just made a MASSIVE announcement that has both Russia and the United States rattled. They are now providing Ukraine with the bulk of their foreign military intelligence, replacing the United States, and removing the most of the remaining leverage the United States had over Ukraine to pressure them into an early peace deal. This changes the nature of the war in many ways, but also has important implications for the future of the Trump presidency, and the United States as a whole.

If I didn't have the bad habit of procrastination, I might have considered a minor in history. However, the history classes where I went to college had so many strong writers that I would have been at a disadvantage.
