Discussion
🏖️☀️🍉🌊 -
my kids and i spent the afternoon on the back patio eating take-out mexican food and watermelon, drinking sun tea, chatting about travel, playing with the puppies, and generally loafing. my mother is at the dentist and i will probably chat with her later. i checked my emails and sassed wealth management. they seem upset they "lost" my footprint which is ironic because they never had it anyway. i paid the hotel for the kids' reservation with a wire transfer. i think we will have spaghetti for dinner. i might read the news, i probably will not get to the ecology papers today, i might write lovely things later.
all's well here. 🍒

it would be fantastic is nato could explain their actual tangible "peaceful" results, not their purpose or what they require monetarily from their "consensus". 🗑️

please.
my position is unchanged, my little buttermilk biscuit. 😏🚬

📇⬇️ policy:
i fully support the de gaulle withdrawal from nato. i think it is impossible to sustain both eu membership and nato membership long term, and arguably the eu has potential for reinvigorating its purpose. messaging is just talk without action: if france is serious about civilian prosperity, it needs to make a statement about how it views war. the eu and nato have demonstrated during the ukrainian conflict sheer incompetence and greed, as well as a desire for prolonged money laundry proxy hostility. their one job is peace and the continental war is still unsolved. why. i think nato has clearly shown what it is as a body during the past decade. stop investing in bureaucracy, especially fascist agendas like nato. it is more interesting to explore progressive alternative ways to spend nato money - at home in france. you have a fine military, which you won't need if the war beast mentality is defanged; and you cannot do that unless you stop supplying it with time, effort, energy, and money.
i like leaving useless meetings. nothing gives me more pleasure. you do not have to - but if you are looking for an excuse to be a badass: that's the one. would i leave nato? i would never have rejoined. but yes. i would. and i would wait until everyone was in the room to tell them in person, too. #emmanuelmacron
there are many ways to make a point - diplomatically. including removing your attention.

#emmanuelmacron - you have a strange ally in trump regarding nato dissolution. much like the g7. 🫡
should that be interesting.
not every organisation is meant to survive in perpetuity. streamline. innovate. sometimes vision is recognising the end before collapse.
