Yesterday’s news analysis programs in Europe and in Russia devoted a lot of attention to French President Emmanuel Macron’s statements during a meeting at the Elysée Palace of a Conference in Support of Ukraine which was attended by a great many European heads of government or their immediate deputies and at a press conference which followed. Macron yet again has positioned himself and France at the vanguard of a new direction for European foreign and military policy, namely to send ground troops to Ukraine to participate in the war directly and thereby ensure Ukrainian victory and, what is more important, Russian defeat. Following Macron’s announcement, his prime minister spoke of the need to defeat Russia if Europe is to uphold the principle that democratic countries may not be swallowed up by totalitarian countries.
The Solovyov rhetorical is worth remembering. Thank you for that.
It’s a natural step up in the fear mongering that now dominates western “thinking”. No where can be found an alternative to defeating Russia? It’s the only thing imaginable? No option for cooperative effort to create a security architecture that doesn’t lead to death, destruction, and even self-destruction?
Jacques Sapir, French economist, made very lucid comments about this Macron nonsense on his Twitter site. The link below takes one to an English translation by Arnaud Bertrand, published on the slavyangrad telegram channel.
