GIDDY GIDEON of the Financial Times writes:

🗣 "Unlike Putin, de Gaulle’s belief in national greatness did not depend on the subordination of a neighbour. He ended France’s war in Algeria and accepted Algerian independence in 1962. By contrast, even after 30 years of Ukrainian independence, Putin could not accept Ukraine’s right to shape its own destiny."

Similarities between the French colonial conquest of Algeria, and Russian - Ukrainian relations are as sparse as the hairs on Giddy's head. To suggest this is Putin's colonial land grab is to showcase a level of ignorance only someone with IQ under 70 can possess (clinically retarded).

❗️Gideon Rachman, graduate of Cambridge University - it owes you a refund. In the meantime, check out what Pierre, grandson of De Gaulle, has to say about the Russian role in this conflict.
