"France bombs Sweden" is a headline I thought I would never see.

Thank god it was with Sweden’s permission. For a moment there I thought we had yet another surprise war coming out of left field.

Still ridiculous unnecessary escalation and nuclear brinkmanship so not great.

How much more can you escalate from where we are now? France, Sweden, and the rest of the EU aren't going to strike first in an open war.

They should drop rounded bombs. They're gonna put someone's eye out with the sharp ones

This must be what they're talking about when they say "unnecessary escalation".

Good work. I wish Biden had been this forward. Glad to see others making progress in their defense.

I always wondered if he wasnt too busy trying to fix the dumpster fire left by trump in 2020. Like, the next president will need at least 8 years to fix this dumpster fire..
