Chirac redefined "intérêts vitaux" ("vital interests" of France) required for a first strike to "la garantie de nos approvisionnements stratégiques et la défense de pays alliés".

This translates to:

France nuclear strike force joins the US and the UK nuclear ultimatum to Russia:
- not stop delivery of gas and oil to bankrupt Western Europe as prices are about to explode
- and leave the naval base of Sevastopol, Crimean Peninsula

I was looking forward to your next post Matt, but you seem to have lost your touch. This one isn't laughably preposterous, like "hospitals kill old people!!!" You also seemed to have been quiet on the russian-ukraine gas and oil crisis. Most unlike you.

The elderly have the highest rate of death of all age groups!
Its a humanitarian crisis, people.
