How come France doesn't step up to the plate?
Craven cowardice, That and wanting to a. protect their investments in r*SSia and b. get contracts after the war. A surprising number of French companies are still operating in r*SSia.
My ancestors on my fathers side have been in America since the 1800`s.
Mine too. Quite a few were born in America and died in Scotland, usually to do with going back and forth for the family farm.
attack their neighbors like the Germans have a history of doing
This is true; as we can see, they're trying to achieve their aim of domination via the EU now. and like r*SSia, they are a land-based empire.
That turd Scholtz even made a silly, silly statement about trade with r*SSia returning to some sort of normality (he is in cloud cuckoo land if he thinks that) which makes me worried about the EU having any sort of involvement in War Crimes Tribunals (they are trying to set one up). The danger is that they could try to take control of the process then freeze any prosecutions or give an amnesty, for purely mercantile reasons.
