Fucking Fr*nch language polluting so many beautiful countries. The entirety of NATO too.

If the summit is hosted in London, why write "Londres" too? We wouldn't write "Paris/Paříž" just because one idiotic language has a different spelling. Some are even more stupid, such as "Venezia/Benátky". And yes, I'm bashing on my own language but we are not nearly as entitled.
