Bad idea, Condi. It just encourages the bastards.
"Bad idea, Condi. It just encourages the bastards."
The whole object of the exercise, I'm sure, is to a.) break up the nascent "axis of weasels" and b.) insure the complete isolation of France.
We have every reason to believe that, under a different leadership, Germany will turn around. We will punish Schroeder, in particular, by ignoring Germany, in general. And welcome her back, once Schroeder is ousted.
"Forgiving" Russia insures that she realizes her interests lie with us -- not with France. And, as an ally, Russia is far more useful than France.
That leaves arrogant France all, all alone. Out in the cold, no more relevant than the Cote d'Ivoire.
It's a geopolitical game. And France lost...
