I mean he's now the defacto leader of the free world.
In my mind he deserves that and so much more.
He's done more for freedom than the Orange Moron.
What a weird thing to say. Trump has literally done nothing for freedom. He has only endangered it on a global scale.
That's what I was trying to say; Zelensky is protecting European democracies from Putistan. All while Trump is destroying fundamental institutions of American democracy.
Oh for!...I thought you said against. Yup, you're right.
If you read the article, they also did the same for Trump.
They didn't, alphabetical order in French is the protocol in question. The USA's name in French is États-Unis, putting it much earlier in the alphabet than it would be in English. Since France and Finland (both still start with F in French) were in the front row, we know that États-Unis would be too
Albanians 😎
Conversely, Chad > Tchad and Czechia > Tchéquie
Why does it go by French names rather than Latin or even Italian?
Because french was historically the language of diplomacy back when the rules were made. This is also mentioned in the article.
Pah! Who has time to read articles? Where's my AI summary? /s
And you're the dumb cousin? Damn guess that explains the empire...
Because it’s the lingua franca of the world.
