You. You're trying to change the subject from russia to France in order to defend an imperialistic country. Which is what you often do. You're in like every other thread that's criticizing russia or china

They're both the respective heads of state, and they're both not members of the legislative branches.
So yeah, in this context they are effectively the same.
You're not getting it. Macron does in fact control the legislation.
Sure it's not what the president is supposed to do, there's a prime minister and speaker for that to decide what laws will be voted on in what calendar. Except when Macron forces his pick on both (and straight up ignores when a new national vote says the left wing opposition gets to name the prime minister), forces the voting calendar, forces passing his laws by skipping a vote he knows will fail, etc.
So yes, Macron does do all the things you say the president doesn't do. And that's why people are mad at him.

I'm glad you asked!
Defending China saying that allegations of Genocide are just lies
Defending Russia's ludacris negotiation demands
Stalin wasn't that bad of a guy
Standard ableism about Soviet Russia
I could keep going all day. You don't strike me as a bad type but I cannot allow utter rubbish to be thrown around like that.
The world is not as simple as US/West bad Russia/China good or vice versa. There is a significant amount of nuance that you need to find here.

It still needs repeating to counter propaganda from Russia and Russia's western supporters. If you leave propaganda unchecked, worse things tend to happen.
Yeah. You don't need to look far (to lemmy.ml) to find people who argue that Russia is perfectly justified in not respecting the ceasefire. Clearly we won't be changing the mind of those people because to them anything Ukraine related (from the west) is 100% propaganda which means Macron stating the obvious is also just "propaganda" to them. But for people who aren't keeping up with the news it's useful to remind them that the world doesn't believe the tankie sauce certain people seem to think is the truth.

Well, in this thread, as it's been already pointed out, you've engaged in whataboutism to change the subject from russia to France. It's only a small step above a kid's "NO YOU!" level of argumentation.
Is France's imperialistic history deplorable? Yes. But by the end of the year they will have pulled out from all but 2 countries with which they had defense agreements, as opposed to russia which is increasing presence in the same countries, in addition to the countries in which it already had a presence. So it's actually russia that has potentially more troops in Africa, but I can't find actual numbers to confirm since it's in russia's best interest not to declare those.
So yeah, how can you compare a country that leaves when it's uninvited to russia which is actively shelling a sovereign nation on top of doing the same shit in Africa as all the other imperialists?

Now that they own USA ? They go for maximum profit.

Man, I know people dislike Macron, and I still think his handling of the Le Penn situation last year was a dramatic misplay, but I've always had a huge amount of respect for him. Maybe because I don't live in France (although I was almost accepted into a job there earlier this year!), but he seems like such a role model in terms of political leadership. He's been handling the Trump/Putin situation much better than most other world leaders, in my opinion
Man he is only making business. The current goal now is the rearming Europe as huge and as fast is possible. Russia making peace can slowdown that. I don't say that he is wrong, but he is just a businessman (France is i think in the world top 3 of weapons selling). Also he fucked Frances democracy, and he kept the colonialism attitude of France in other continents.

Afrikans. You don't even want to name exact countries where russia and France clash politically and economically.
Because it would open up discussion of russia being as imperialistic NOW as France was half a decade ago.
And oh, they are arming the opposition. What USA has been doing in countries they want resources denied or exploited.
You know. Imperialistic shit.
Fucking Afrikans. Mr socialist.

Russia has demonstrated it doesn't actually desire peace so many times by now that it's a bit pointless to mention it, really.
Hence “once again” in the title

You have really weird role models:

Respect ≠ "role model"
Try again.

What the French president thinks about... Go ahead honey, you can do it. Finish the sentence.
