100% garanteed Bardella and the whole party do Nazi salutes between themselves. Just never in public - those who do get kicked out. The US far right simply tested the boundary long enough to realize that no one will do shit about any of it - but Europe still pushes back when we see it.

Only because Russia is failing to do what they’ve really wanted to do since the beginning, or did you forget Bucha.

They’re still stealing children by the thousands though.

Yeah, whatever Trump decides to do with the US membership, there’s nothing he can do about everyone else. He can pick his the US’ toys and leave, NATO will be weaker, but Europe will still want an alliance to defend themselves, even if Trump tries to pressure individual members.

People claiming it’s dead are delusional.

Not having sex doesn’t make you at fault. Rapists make that claim to pretend they’re right. But they are not, they are lying. Only rapists defend that lie.

You start from the conclusion that it makes you at fault, and you deduce that it must be part of the vow. Your reasoning is nonsense, you are trying to justify a conclusion that is already wrong by inventing a premise that doesn’t exist.

There is no such thing as a promise for sex in marriage vows, you fucking clown.

France Explicitly criminalised The law criminalises rape, including spousal rape, and domestic violence, and the government generally enforced the law effectively. The Court of Cassation authorized prosecution of spouses for rape or sexual assault in 1990. In 1994, Law 94-89 criminalised marital rape; a second law, passed 4 April 2006, makes rape by a partner an aggravating circumstance in prosecuting rape. (Article 222-24(11) of the Criminal Code)

I figure the crux of an argument would more likely rest on defining consent, which is where there’s always progress to be made.

Also there was a massive trial that ended just recently about the mass rapes of a wife who was drugged to sleep by her husband and offered to people for years without her knowledge. Of the 50 guys including the husband, most of them got prison I think.

All over the news for months here and it made some degree of International noise, at least in Europe. Dunno about the US.

Edit to your edit - “not true anymore” is an understatement, it hasn’t been true for 30 to 35 years.

By calling it “starting a war” (which is a lie) and insisting that it has never gone well, you are implying that they should lie down and let Israel genocide them. Because that’s how that goes.

You’re mixing up what people say and what they think. Biden and Blinken both denied the war crimes and the genocide, and we have evidence that they knew what it was. Nazi Germany might have spread propaganda about security, but they DEFINITELY knew they were exterminating entire “races”. Maybe not the randos in the streets, but anyone operating in a camp or the government.

Propaganda is not what these people actually believe, it’s the tool they use to give cowards plausible deniability. Those participating actively, and those not stopping it.

Yes, there are people who are in fact monsters.

Because you’re calling that statistic a Nazi dog whistle, and that means you’re saying it’s fake / fabricated and pro-Nazi propaganda somehow. It may not be what you intended, but it is the meaning of the phrasing you used.
