Bold take.
“No nation has friends only interests.” – Charles de Gaulle
I’d take France over the other two.
Christ. We need some proper candidates
Not a great statement from a potential President
She’s not wrong.
The mask is slipping. It won’t be long before she will be telling us how great Russia is.
For a role that’s mainly ambassadorial the fact that she said England and not the UK shows she has some work left to do.
EU has ‘lost its moral compass’, presidential candidate says.
Brave take when Russia is actively planning to invade the Baltics in the next few years, and the Baltics are actively planning with the EU to prevent it.
The mask slips again…..
She’s a tankie. Everything is the fault of the west, NATO and the EU. The day the hammer and sickle flag was taken down over the Kremlin was a dark day for them.
She also said we shouldn’t trust Russia, funny how that’s not included in the headline.
Criticising our biggest economic trading partners and the EU as a whole, you would have to ask serious questions as to her suitability already at this stage in the game.
The presidents job is largely diplomatic, and the last thing we need right now is one who rilies up and causes tensions with other EU countries.
> In response to questions on this, Ms Connolly said: “Russia is conducting an illegal invasion of Ukraine – it must immediately end its horrific assault.”
And, Catherine, if it doesn’t, are Ukraine just to lie down and take it if NATO and the West are such abhorrent, warmongering entities? These ageing lefties never have a good idea of how Kyiv is supposed to keep … ya know, existing, while her blather amounts to “peace at any cost”.
This is an obvious trurth to anyone who has ever studied the basics of International Relations theory.
Aa for the EUs moral compass- is anyone going to really dispute that when you look at Gaza? If you think the EUs response to Gaza has been in keeping with our morla standards then you are probably not her audience…
Why did the left go for connolly man its fine staying militarily non aligned but I don’t want a president who’s talking shite about our closest allies when geopolitics are getting so fragile 😭. I dont disagree with her but these are thoughts you keep to yourself
