Behind the Charlie-Hebdo massacre: is French President Hollande bucking the NATO party line by demanding an end to sanctions against Russia, by preparing to release warships to Moscow, by refusing to invade Libya, and by undercutting the Merkel-Samaras demagogy about the phantomatic “Grexit” ?
French President Francois Hollande declared on Monday January 5 that US-ordered sanctions against Russia had to end. On January 7, Paris was rocked by the worst terror attack in many decades, carried out by ostentatiously Islamist operatives against the political satire weekly Charlie Hebdo. Are these events somehow related? And is the real issue more geopolitics than free speech?
