On this day in 1940, Churchill got War Cabinet agreement to an extraordinary document. A declaration of ‘indissoluble union’ between 🇬🇧🇫🇷. A thousand years of la différence erased by a two page document? It was not, of course, to be. But it was an intriguing road not taken 1/8

I’m betting that there won’t ever be any combat troops. But the Chancellor cannot decide on his own that no sovereign NATO or EU country will ever do it.
Bundeskanzler a.D. Olaf Scholz@KanzlerScholz

We agreed that everyone must do more for Ukraine in Paris yesterday. Ukraine needs weapons, ammunition and air defence. We are working on it. It is clear: there will be no ground troops from European countries or NATO. That applies.
