I am not a very eager follower of this news. What I heard about Macron was that he actually was more against sending troops to the Ukraine (which was - I must guess - in the first year of the war). Why he turned, can be a question, if my observation is correct.
For us anyway it can be bad news since I am not cheering up over the fact that our European neighbor might make economical suicide. But that counts for all other nations as well, when I think further. But then, I don't know if it means economical suicide to invest into troops and/or weaponry. The cynics says that it helps the nations economies. ... Oh well. I am not into the topic to really talk in an elaborated way.
Greetings.
I am as hapless as any other man, who must gnaw first over threats before I can enjoy the meat of my blessings. So, while I am geographically removed from both the most public loci of conflict in the world today, Israel and Russia, clearly the USA is intimately involved in both, as the most powerful of our Parliamentarians has declared himself a 'wartime Speaker', Speaker of the House being his specific title.
So, despite my remove from it, I am nonetheless threatened as close neighbors are by brutality close at hand. Economists are moronic shills for whatever political actions are desired by whoever has the money they want to account, so when crime rises and more vandalism occurs, they proclaim window manufacturers benefit and GDP rises. When more taxes are squeezed from working stiffs and funneled into the vaults of weapons manufacturers, cage builders, and makers of shock collars, again, GDP rises and the economy roars, although we must pay $40 for our toast in the morning, if we can get it. All the economic benefits of war inure to the slaughterers of mankind, and unless we join in the slaughter, we are the slaughtered, economically.
I hope your lack of interest is rewarded by better news of better things, you better enjoy.
Thanks!
I wouldn't argue against what you responded. Sharing the same sentiments.
I am feeling fatigued because I was following news very intensely when 2020 happened, and then also when the Ukraine war started. Never in my life, did I absorb so many news, texts, arguments. I am very tired in following those news (I've got some good alternative media at hand) and my disinterest is a consequence of it. It's more of a self protective attitude, since I must balance the status of both, my physical and mental stability.
That happens, too. I am actively searching for them, as well.
