Is France forcing itself into a war with Russia?
War | Infographics
Looks like France is ditching its "let's all be friends" approach with Russia. Talk about a 180! Macron's gone from trying to schmooze Putin to practically shouting "bring it on!" 🔄🇫🇷
Ukraine's potential defeat in the ongoing war is a major concern for France. The fall of Ukraine could lead to a domino effect, threatening other Eastern European nations and destabilizing the region. 🎲🌍
The internal balance of power in Europe has shifted due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. France is trying to reassert its leadership role within the EU and NATO, particularly as Poland gains prominence as a frontline state. 😤🗣
France is losing significant influence in Africa, particularly in the Sahel region, to Russia. This loss of power in its traditional sphere of influence is a major factor in France's hardening position against Russia. 🌍🇷🇺
The Wagner Group, a Russian private military company, has been instrumental in eroding French influence in Africa. This has led to the expulsion of French troops from several African nations. 🤐🏴☠️
Russia's sophisticated disinformation campaigns in Africa have successfully painted France as an imperial power while portraying Russia as a liberator, further damaging French interests in the region. 😏🙄
Putin's playing 4D chess, building an influence arc from Syria to West Africa. France is realizing it's been outmaneuvered. Ouch. 🏜️♟️
Macron's recent aggressive rhetoric towards Russia can be seen as a response to these multiple pressures, as France attempts to maintain its global influence and strategic position in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. 🤬❗

A Failed Artist, A Disillusioned Poet, An Underpaid Game Show Host
I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

The Billion Dollar Secret: Inside the World’s Richest (and Deadliest) Temple
In a world that has been around for thousands of years, it’s a bit naive to think our ancestors didn't leave anything behind. We like to think we know everything about our history, but what about the ancient knowledge lost to time? Is it our job to dig up every secret, or were some things buried for a reason?
