Bravo, M. Malhuret—you speak truth to delusion. While our “former allies” speak truth to power our own MAGA Congresspeople are afraid to hear the ones that gave them a job. Hiding behind a blatant lie, a conspiracy theory, that appeases both yourself, your political party, and your cowardice and shame.
So many are embarrassed that this one man has declared and abandoned not just Ukraine, but Europe, Tawain and so many other countries. An allegiance that has been in place for 8 decades! It lays heavy in minds & heart for many Americans.
His assault on Greenland, Canada, Panama, etc. to suggest even the remote thought that we as a country, our people would invade your sovereignty’s by any means necessary is beyond shameful and disgraceful.
Why this doesn’t bother or cause any distress to other Americans who are aligned, emboldened, cheer and relish in every one of his actions as well as Musk’s is unimaginable. The ramifications of his and Musk’s damage that has transpired in just 6 weeks is unfathomable.
The suggestion of leaning on a premise of “America First” is just plain BS! Already our national intelligence is cut off, we are now relying on our own. All the while a ketamine high billionaire is gutting the same agency that collects national intelligence to keep every American safe from attack not just from foreign lands but from within.
The decision to “switch sides” and align with Russia knowing that they are continuing to bomb a place called Chernobyl that yes it’s still radioactive today. Does one think that the bombs that punched a hole in the protective structure, to enclose over the damaged reactor that the radioactive material & debris doesn’t end up into the air in which we breathe?!?
While you’re cheering their endeavors overseas and aligning with Russia are you aware that he & Musk fired nuclear safety employees in our country? Are you aware as to what they did?
They’re responsible for designing, building and overseeing the US nuclear weapons stockpile. Now some may be to young to have lived during the Three Mile Island accident, may want to Google it, but yes these now terminated nuclear safety employees are no longer available to continue to oversee that location.
Guess what else these nuclear workers also do? They oversee all commercial nuclear power plants, ensuring safety through licensing, inspections, and enforcement.
Guess how many nuclear plants are just here in the good ole USA? We have just a mere 54 nuclear power plants with 93 operating commercial nuclear reactors, located in 28 states. You do the math!
Since you may be one of the Americans cheering on all of these actions you may want to Google if you are located close to one of those plants, because the ones who ensure nothing goes wrong are fired!
Just wrap your mind around just that one!! Let alone all the others.
“America First” will be little more than a land of rubble whether we are attacked from other countries or from within of individuals who are placed within our government, a president, a billionaire, his cabinet, his senators, his representatives, his governors, his sycophants, his loyalists who believe their money, their wealth, is never enough!!
That their lives and health, matter more than anyone else’s. Wouldn’t be surprised that their thought process of not caring about anyone else other than themselves would include their own spouse, children, family, friends, etc.
A “fuckem’ attitude” because in their minds they only matter.
A sick combination of a psychopath and sociopath all balled up into one. Who knew that two of them would meet each other, one landing in the Oval Office while the other with unleashed abandonment firing all with a willy-nilly attitude all the while standing on a stage high on ketamine at that CPAC get together, happily wielding a chainsaw in the air!
No longer feel any sympathy towards anyone who is feel emboldened and cheering this on. Sooner or later you will be affected, or someone you care about will.
Yes, you will also need to bend forward and take it because you are nothing, no matter how much you fall into line. You are really obsolete, nothing because you’re not in the club. You may have thought you were, but honey you’re not even close to the door to bang on to enter.
So yes, M. Malhuret you speak the truth so concisely. Longing for our own members of Congress to all speak and act with this level of authority, clarity, and integrity. Only imagining how different things would be in the U.S. But alas, we only have a few.
Don’t know about what this Frenchman states that he has “faith in the resilience of American democracy” … some days the “faith wavers”..
Every time I hear someone describe Trump as being transactional, I think that is only partially true. His transactions only work when he gets money, loads of money, because that is how he measures winning. Think about NATO. It's okay that NATO came to our help in 9/11 but if they need us now against Russia, they have to pay. He sees Europe as a giant real estate transaction where you only get what you pay for. Forget about constitutional democracy, human rights, climate change, healthcare it's all about the money because that's the way he values any transaction. What does he, not the country, not the world ... get out of this. Think about Crypto Reserves and how many billions he and his family can make. It's how his brain works.
It's his only measure of success. He makes me want to hurl.
I totally concur with your anger and disgust. But a reminder- a majority did not vote for Trump. Those of us, will do whatever is necessary to rid this country of this Trump-MAGA cancer. We will not just quietly capitulate.
Senator Malhuret doesn’t mince any words here. Can anybody imagine anyone in our senate doing something similar? So much for the "greatest deliberative body in the world."
Thank you for sharing this great leader’s speech in Europe with translation. Trump, Musk and Putin pose clear and present dangers to America, Ukraine and the world.

That is a powerful speech.
What a marvelous speech 🇺🇦🇫🇷
So powerful! I wish more in America felt as strongly.
God! Those boys are beautiful!
I don’t know what I’d do without my daily dose of sanity from Substack.
Thank you Charlie, for your sanity!
Thanks, Charlie. I wish we had someone like him to make a stand and tell the truth.
Thank you France! And thank you Rob Ford from Ottawa! Other than a handful of Democrats, how did we get such a spineless group of US politicians.
Vive la France indeed. Saying all the things that Americans should be saying.
Senator Malhuret doesn’t mince any words here. Can anybody imagine anyone in our senate doing something similar? So much for the "greatest deliberative body in the world."
Thank you, thank you, thank you for highlighting the strong words of the French Senator!
PS. Are there any Democratic billionaires?
Good analysis. Gorgeous Dogs!
Thank you for sharing this great leader’s speech in Europe with translation. Trump, Musk and Putin pose clear and present dangers to America, Ukraine and the world.
Great speech indeed. France has a very strong democratic tradition.
Thank you for uploading a translated version - my French was being stretched a bit far - but was a brilliant speech
Thank you for posting that.
