Funny if true.

Shows how desperate they are when they are having to do deals with Iran to buy weapons. Aren’t these drones built with parts used in jet skis? They are hardly buying tech from Boeing or BAE systems.

The emotional reaction to Macron’s words is understandable but, in the long run, misguided. Of course we would never have given Hitler guarantees but we gave them to Germany and to rescued democrats such as Adenauer.
The West’s guarantee was its presence on German soil, the establishment of NATO and the Marshall plan. This was the opposite of the post WW1 policy which failed with disastrous results.
We may work towards a policy for rapprochement with Russia and encourage a change of leadership as a first step. With Russia’s economy in ruins, it would make no sense just to bang the drum shouting Russia must pay. The cost of the reconstruction of Ukraine is now put at 600 billion euros and rising. Russia could not hope to meet such a bill.
To those who say France and Germany are just looking to their own interest, I would reply that that is exactly what they do already within the EU. If Ukraine joins, plus ca change.
When the war is won, we must react with our heads and not just with revengeful hearts. Russia will end with much longer borders with NATO than it had before and we would do well to ensure that the Russian bear is not too resentful and fearful. We do not want a repeat.

Agree.

It's also important, however unpalatable, to keep diplomacy alive because, unlike WW2, a total military victory over Russia is not on the cards. Nobody is marching on Moscow. So eventually, there will be a diplomatic settlement.

Some people on here believe Macron is in some way betraying Ukraine and knee-jerk negative responses to everything French. Personally, I've no idea what his true agenda is, and whether his approach is overall helpful or not. But it's certainly not obviously wrong or bad to me.

Oops and I had to read your post twice. :-)

Think it was Pythagoras. But even then, it’s not round. It’s flat at the poles.

I thought it was Aristotle.

Google tells me it was a bit of Pythagoras, a bit of Aristotle, and a pinch of a guy called Eratosthenes who I'd never heard of.

True, but it was known long before Galileo the earth was round, think the ancient Greeks were there first.

Possibly before, as the masts of ships were visible before the body of the ship on the horizon.
