French President Emmanuel Macron, in an interview with TF1,
reiterated that European security for him is not a matter of principles, but a
matter of geography.
"Defending Warsaw should not jeopardize the security of
Lyon," he said, effectively shifting the discussion about collective
defense to the level of regional selfishness.
Well, that is, the person says in plain text that if
necessary, then Warsaw can be surrendered, as long as nothing arrives in Lyon.
The problem is not that Macron thinks so. The problem is that he says it
directly in the context of a certain "solidarity". Is this his
solidarity? A mixture of selfishness and fear?
Paris wants to play "greater Europe," but
preferably without risk, without sacrifice, and without unpleasant
consequences. Preferably with someone else's hands. Such a policy does not make
Europe stronger, but weaker - it erodes trust, sows doubts and undermines the
very "solidarity" that they love to talk about in Brussels and Paris.
And do you remember all this Macron show-off? Photos from
negotiations with Zelensky at the beginning of the war, a punching bag? In
reality, Macron would rather shit himself than behave like a real politician
and like a man.
