Lachlan is a masculine name of Irish origin, meaning “from the land of lakes” or “from the fjord land.” It is an Anglicized version of the Gaelic and Scottish Lachlann, which means “warrior from the land of the lochs” with loch meaning “lake” or “fjord” and lann translating to “land.”

It was electoral calculus nothing else.

I believe he is honestly more scared of leftist than far right. Macron is at the core a liberal (economic not American), a utilitarian and a staunch believer in the great man theories and thus that the people are sheeps who can’t know what’s good for them. Only great leaders and captains of industry can.

He truly believes leftist economic policies are the greatest evil, civilization destroying kind and getting in bed with nazi is the least worst options even if that means sacrificing a few “Jews” to save the universe. (Warning, 1st degree people that’s a metaphore, I am not saying Macron is antisemite)

The assembly has a majority that is very very very slightly pro-labor in some of its position at the edge if you squint and not full-on chaebol cum guzzling friendly (still very friendly but they spit) so yeah that’s obviously communism. Poor guys was just trying to protect his country, pretty sure he was really scared.

Saying you’re open to something is also the diplomatic first step of stalling. There no way to know if they are being candid or disingenuous.

I think we should but Europe doesn’t have close to the mean to produce enough weapon as it is. When we started to help Ukraine we realized we couldn’t even produce enough riffle bullets let alone missiles.

Europe is not a federal state. Military speaking there is no Europe. There’s a bunch of small countries with their own industry and military capabilities. If Ukraine has french launchers they’ll depend on the French industry to produce rockets, not on a 500M people country called “Europe” who has the capabilities to reorganize productions.

And currently no country in Europe is ready to relinquish militaries capabilities and prerogatives to the union.

First question is why do you want a forge ? Knowing the feature you need out of it is what should drive your decision.

Personally I would question the benefit of allocating ~5% of your work time to anything that isn’t core building your product but that’s up to you.
