The second half makes it seem like there aren't rich people in France. The only reason I'll believe we don't see more non-American/British/Israeli oligarchs in the Epstein files is because they had other islands closer to home.
Unless their islands are backed by a different or opposing power that doesn't mind cutting Epstein system loose for public cred, I don't expect the wealthy and politicians to do much.
So you're not against talking around the crisis, you just hate rhetorical questions. Weird hill to plant your flag on, but go ahead.
