Flooding plus works in Angers (France). The Maine River is flooding again. Work on the Reculée promenade has been suspended. Red tarpaulins surround the trunks of the plane trees, to protect them from the site machinery. Seen from the Jean-Moulin bridge in the twilight.
I wonder if the guys on social networks (I won't name names, everyone knows them) calling for peace in Ukraine and an exit from the EU aren't infiltrated Russian agents. By repeating to their subscribers that we must stop helping Ukraine, that this prevents peace from being established, that we are responsible for Ukrainian and Russian deaths, and even for the suffering of Ukrainian civilians, they are spreading discord, uncertainty and fear. I'm not saying they're being paid by the Russians to spread Kremlin propaganda, but that the Russians may have turned them around and recruited them somehow. Sometimes, it doesn't take much to recruit an asset: a favor, some consideration, a little boost for your party... Of course, they only persuade the already convinced and a small minority of the population, but that's how you instill and maintain discord among the enemy.
