A White House meeting today between President Obama and French President Francois Hollande has ended, as expected with another agreement to escalate the war against ISIS, with both agreeing that more airstrikes are needed, and both “ruling out” ground troops.
Hollande has announced multiple escalations in the week and a half since ISIS attacked Paris, and the White House has repeatedly pledged support for such escalations, insisting the two nations are united against ISIS.
With Hollande planning to visit Russia next, however, and meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the administration is seen trying to please Hollande at all cost, in hopes it will tamp down French calls for unity with Russia in the war, something the US loudly opposes.
“Those who are threatening us are threatening the Russian,” Hollande reiterated at today’s press conference, suggesting that he may not have been totally convinced of President Obama’s call to keep Europe united in hostility toward Russia.
Hollande's concern is to wrong-foot the Russian-funded Front National in the regional elections on 6 and 13 December. The latest opinion polls seem to confrim that he is succeeding. Thus, the umpteenth "split" between the US and the EU is as imaginary as all the others, to say nothing of the fact that the more Putin bogs himself in Syria, the better.

Another fake witness being interviewed. Can't get the smile off her face. Thinking about her pay cheques. She says she gave a cardiac massage to someone she knew was dead.
