FALSE! Video does not show Macron or Merz hiding cocaine. Higher resolution video and photo show that the "cocaine bag" is a handkerchief / tissue paper, and the "cocaine spoon" is a cocktail skewer. They were on the way to Ukraine, not back from Ukraine. https://www.techarp.com/politics/macron-merz-hiding-cocaine-train-fact-check/ https://www.liberation.fr/checknews/non-emmanuel-macron-na-pas-cache-de-la-cocaine-prise-avec-friedrich-merz-et-keir-starmer-dans-le-train-pour-kyiv-20250511_ERP2X225XBFWZCNO4OZEXT5OFI/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGHhXLDjf0g https://www.gettyimages.de/detail/nachrichtenfoto/britains-prime-minister-keir-starmer-and-frances-nachrichtenfoto/2213651077 https://www.comptoirdelatable.com/pique-bambou-torsade-9-5-cm.html

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1921663314653782418
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
