“In the context of the development of Defence Europe, clearly, once we decide to give Europe more assets to maintain its own security, particularly by enabling it to deploy autonomous capabilities, it will be in a position to conduct significant operations, complementary to those which NATO could conduct. Of course, this means we have to adopt a European approach going beyond the single issue of building the European Union, in the strict sense of the term, to embrace that of the European continent as a whole. In this respect, developing the partnership and joint discussions between Russia and the European Union is a must.” French Minister of Defense Hervé Morin

Well, well – It looks like France is sucking up to Vladimir Putin. And by the way, where in the hell were you French cowards during the Cold War? You took to the sidelines because Russia’s Communist Revolution was based on similar political ideology as that of the French Revolution. Face it; you French have more affinity for the Communist Revolution than for the American Revolution.

Your accusations about Václav Klaus as a liar, and Robert Eringer’s accusation that Václav Klaus is a hidden Communist just doesn’t square with the words and actions of Mr. Klaus.
