Jean-Noël Barrot, the foreign minister, said it was vital for Europe’s security to supply weapons such as the Scalp, the French equivalent of Storm Shadow

Summary

France has authorized Ukraine to use French-made Scalp long-range missiles against targets in Russia for self-defense, aligning with similar decisions by the U.S. and U.K.

This comes as tensions escalate, with North Korea reportedly sending 10,000 troops to support Russia.

Ukraine has already used U.S. ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles to strike Russian military facilities, killing senior commanders and injuring a North Korean general.

    Why does Ukraine need permission from other countries to defend itself but Israel gets to do genocide and murder all journalists while giving everyone else the finger?

      Because you’re an antisemite if you don’t approve of whatever the fuck Israel wants to do, including genocide, rape, murder, incest etc. Israelis are teh gods chosen people, so they can do no wrong/s

      Fuck Israel and everything they’re currently doing! If that makes me an antisemite, then I am an antisemite, and I’ll wear that badge with honour, because there is no fucking excuse for genocide. No excuse!!

        Rightfully criticizing Israel and the crimes committed in its name (also including settler violence etc) doesn’t make you an antisemite.

        Claiming Jews are evil because of that, ignoring those protesting against their government’s actions, or voicing their opinion in diaspora, would be though.

          It’s not that fine a line though, one can get on the wrong side in so many different ways. Today pro genocide stuff is mixed up in many messages that can otherwise be wholesome.

          For example: the daily pictures on masterdon about Holocaust victims. Good , yes. Where are the daily Palestinian images ? Once one starts asking questions, one can easily start to accidentally stray off the path of the righteous and get into morally ambiguous muck.

          That’s one problem with widely supported crimes, it’s not just the evil people who passively support bad things. When there is an undercurrent of pro genocide, many babies get thrown out with many bathwaters. And that is bad.

          It makes it worse when there are more zionist Christians than Zionist Jews in the USA, and to see that minority of Jews in the USA unite in crime with people who do not like them is heart attack inducing .

          The whole thing is a mess and maybe the only way to fight it is redefining boundaries

      Because the weapons are locked down and likely need be individually unlocked by the Country’s in question. Also Palestine isn’t likely to start using nukes and kicking off f ww3.
