    Fucking hell Macron is consistently such a joke.

    “Oh Russia please stop your genocide so we can have a picture perfect little Olympic Games, we spent so much money on it and all we care about is that you don’t distract from the media attention. You can continue as soon as it’s over please kthxbye”

      It’s a tradition that spans centuries, not something that Macron thought up. It’s called the Olympic Truce, check it out.

        Wikipedia says it was only bought back in ‘93 and that Russia has violated it 3 times since.

        Sounds like it’s tradition for Russia to ignore it.

      The hope is that once a ceasefire is established, that this will hold and that hostilities will not commence after

        It’s not that, it’s specifically for the Olympic games so the athletes have a chance to go and come back, and nobody is attacked during. Obviously, the only country violating that in modern history, is Russia.

        Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

        Aaahhh. Hold on… My sides … Hahahahaha… Ok ok… Ok… Phwew! Hehe…

        I thought you were serious for a second… no… heh… See, conservatives like Putin cannot be stopped by pacifism. That’s never happened in all of human history. Historically, conservatism has only been stopped by force.

        That was funny, though!
