The Normans weren’t French. They were Normans - a people formed from Viking settlers who took land in northern Frankish territory under Rollo in the 10th century. They adopted the local language and some Frankish customs, but that didn’t change where they came from. Their roots were Germanic, Viking at the base, mixed with the Franks - the same wider Germanic stock as the Anglo-Saxons across the Channel. By 1066 they were known as Normans, literally Northmen. Not French, but a distinct people shaped by both sides of their origin. 🏴 ᛟ













Macron wants to transform the EU into a bigger France, while Merz views the EU as a bigger Germany.










Am I the only one here who loves France? France is heaven on earth, there's no better place. I'm buying a chateau there. I love it so much that I've spent the past year learning to speak French.







NATO has to send ships to Greenland.



@leo_caesaris What are you talking about? France rejoined integrated NATO command in 2009. Under any allied operation its troops fall under de facto US command. And yeah, some sovereignty with 2 deployable brigades. And yes, I'm an EUcrat, posting this straight from Brussels, lol.

Statement from the Prime Minister of Denmark 🇩🇰: “I must say this very clearly to the United States: It makes absolutely no sense to speak of any necessity for the United States to take over Greenland. The United States has no legal basis to annex one of the three countries of the Kingdom of Denmark. The Kingdom of Denmark — and thus Greenland — is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the Alliance’s collective security guarantee. We already have a defence agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States that grants the U.S. broad access to Greenland. In addition, the Kingdom has made significant investments in security in the Arctic. I therefore strongly urge the United States to cease its threats against a historically close ally, and against another country and another people who have stated very clearly that they are not for sale.” Mette Frederiksen Prime Minister of Denmark
