  1. You would support ISIS for money profit?

    This is outrageous and they must be accountable!!!

  2. USA SUPPORTS TERRORIST GROUPS IN MIDDLE EAST

  3. We have one here in my city. ND IS VERY Republican so I can’t wait to see how patriotic they get over this. Then again nobody’s bothered about trump and all those golfers chasing a bag with Saudi either lol this world is so fake. How is the US gunna call out lafarge anyways with all the bs we do 🤣 US really shouldn’t be calling anybody out. We should just shut up and try to fix this place

  4. Just did some large civil pours in Canada with Lafarge. Figures, everything about CAN was wack

  5. US-France finger pointing begins.

  6. You mean Alex Jones got sued for more than ISIS? Wow… He must be a really bad person…

  7. Fuc this French company. U.S should bankrupt this company and execute the boss.

  8. Wait until you hear how much America benefitted from ISIS.

  9. And those that decided to support ISIS need to be jailed!

  10. oh boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. Oh it makes sense. SAND is a key ingredient in making cement and concrete lol. And there is a global sand shortage. The middle east is a great place to get sand so i guess isis sold them cheap sand.

  12. Wow seriously? There is literally a Lafarge cement plant 15 minutes down the road from my house here in Atlanta!

  13. Many French managers are mother fu… They explore many people maroccans, Portugueses, etc

  14. US is now turning against those who are buying Russian oil for their people. US is really selfish

  15. French cement company never got the memo. Only the government or big oil companies allowed to fund terrorists.

  16. So when are we gonna charge the CIA with giving material support to terrorist organizations 😂?

  17. What about Toyota?? No more new cars or parts ….DONE

  18. This is the deep state, the same deep state that masked the kids, put elderly in isolation

  19. Lafarge is the kind of outfit that James Bond would infiltrate and blow up their secret base of evil.

  20. At this point we are all guilty.

  21. Send the money to Ukraine 🇺🇦

  22. So that means france is supporting ISIS

  23. So france is for isis interesting

  24. I'm French and I'm so ashamed to hear about this 😡😡😡

  25. What kind of weak response is that. Whoever the CEO was at the time needs to stand trial for aiding the enemy, then put to death if found guilty.

  26. Shout out to Ashli Babbitt on being freed and rehabilitated from the Trump cult! It took some tough love from the Capitol police but she did it. Say her name conservatives 🖕

  27. Wow. Huge company in Canada. I hope they get criminally charged at the highest levels.

  28. Yeah – the French are awful.

  29. I’m glad they shut it down.

    here come all the people in the comments to make blanket statements about French people/ culture.

    People uniting over their hatred for anything French because of the actions of this group, that happens to be French

  30. Must have made enough money for the fed to wanna get there grubby little hands on it.

  31. That's not surprising, the same like the Reagan Administration in the 80s fueled Iran (a hot enemy) with weapons. Weapons to be used against the USA, the provider, and its allies in the middle east. That sparked a scandal call the Iran–Contra affair

  32. Mass murder conspiracy charges on joe for his baby murdering, 1991 got it right

  33. Someone said joe is bipolar

  34. Corporations are people according to the us government and can plead guilty. However corporations can not go to prison. Send the people responsible to prison instead.

  35. So what? I thought y’all support capitalism. They just sold some cement to whoever need it lol

  36. Nothing you tell me the French do in hypocrisy would shock me at this point. Betcha there's plenty of German firms doing the same around the world. Greed knows no bounds.
