France's imperial ambition to be independent of the US should be viewed as a useful tool of bourgeoise division and working with France should be seen as keeping it from falling entirely into vassalisation under US imperial control.

France was financing Brazil's nuclear submarine program (before the 2016 coup). Which pissed the US off, now France is financing it again under Lula da Silva (again, probably bc Macron really fucking hates Bolsonaro and prefers Lula), lol.

Right, exactly. And in the context of a clash between capitalism and communism I'd rather have several opportunist bourgeoise factions representing multiple imperial projects rather than one imperial dominion under the United States.

Working with the weaker imperial projects on safe things that do not threaten socialism is ok. Working with the US is not.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
