with a delegation of experts from a broad field.
- Signed contracts worth €18bn in Rome
- Made cordial visit to the Vatican
- Placed an order for 114 aircraft from Airbus in Paris HQ
It was France which dragged its feet before signing the nuclear deal with Iran lifting sanctions. Hollande and Fabius were the heroes in Jerusalem and Riyadh. Even Netanyahu took a few moments to say nice things about France he hates. Hollande was welcomed by the Gulf states and signed contracts to deliver billions worth of military aircraft and goods. Also played tough with Russia’s Putin and had to cancel the delivery of two aircraft carriers (later sold to Egypt?!)
The Rouhani signature under the Airbus order wasn’t even dry when FM Fabius was sighted in Jerusalem conveying a new threat to the state of Israel:
○ France to recognise Palestinian state if deadlock with Israel not broken
○ After delay, biggest Syrian opposition group to attend Geneva ‘talks’
Hollande already has forgiven Putin ahead of the rest in the Atlantic Alliance and made a statement he wants Europe’s boycot of trade with Russia to end in 2016. The oligarchs in the Ukraine will have to decide amongst themselves whether to drive the nation into oblivion through infested corruption. The Maidan revolution is all but forgotten, the culprits of the MH-17 disaster will not stand trial, and the West’s coup d’etat left behind delusion and economic disaster.
