Macron had the wonderful pleasure of being the one to tell hero president zelensky.

I find it really distasteful from Twitter that they still put up this screen nagging to sign in, and preventing reaching this important information.

Twitter - you end up like Facebook. Blocked on the router. Bye.

To be on subject, as pointed out to me lower: very good to read that this decision has been made. I hope that the physical military support reaches Ukraine in time.

Yet is where the information is. Twitter and Reddit have been very valuable in this war, annoying patterns aside.

I'm not denying that's where the information is. But it will be very distasteful to read after the next quarter that their stock went up because so and so many people signed up. Yeah, but why have they signed up... I guess it doesn't matter when you count $$$$.

If you saw the sign-in banner then likely you haven't seen the content and instead comment to complaint about paywalls or walled gardens, be it Facebook/Reddit/Twitter. It's distracting from the main discussion.

Maybe. But they have changed that behaviour so I’d like to think that my voice contributed to that decision.

I see the content thanks to one of the people who responded to me.

Not sure which platform you’re on, but if it’s iOS, Tweetbot has an Open In Tweetbot redirect function.

You'll see the news of nuclear war preceded by an unskippable 6 second ad for the new iPhone.

Macron is fighting a difficult reelection race, and as Germany hems and haws over its own ties to Russia, Macron is trying to present himself as the leader of Europe.

> Macron is fighting a difficult reelection race

Difficult ? This is one of the less difficult election in a long time, Macron already won this election before it even began. All the top candidates (JLM, MLP, Z) were preaching Putin a few month agos and blaming NATO/EU here an there (It's not a secret there campaigns are financed by russian banks). And they are now trying to keep a low profile about the situation in Ukraine. A few weeks ago Macron was already far ahead, but in a few days It won't be even close.

No invasion in Europe for how many decades? Long past many people's lifetimes. Building those relationships through trade can be great impediments to further conflicts. They knew the strategic cost of having done this. Unfortunately, the cost to the German people must now be accepted.
