Isn’t this some kind of skin-hatred or transphobia or something?
I don’t think you’re allowed to say you don’t want to annihilate Russia. I mean, it’s hard to know what you are and are not allowed to say at this point, but I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to say this.
RT:
French President Emmanuel Macron condemned “Anglo Saxon” leaders for openly wishing annihilation upon Russia in clips from a recent documentary. Macron has already been criticized by some of Ukraine’s most fervent supporters for staying in contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
While he has condemned Russia’s military operation in Ukraine and supported EU sanctions on Moscow, the French president has spoken to Putin by phone on several occasions since February. These calls have apparently not brought Ukraine any closer to peace, but have earned Macron scorn from Kiev’s supporters, including Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who castigated his French counterpart for talking to a man he compared to “Hitler.”
However, in a documentary recently broadcast on French television, Macron gave some insight into his approach to diplomacy.
Filmed on a train back from Kiev last month, Macron explained that talking to Putin is necessary to prevent the conflict in Ukraine from becoming a wider war. Describing “Anglo Saxon” leaders as pushing the message that “we must annihilate Russia, weaken it permanently,” Macron said that his goal is instead to “help Ukraine to win,” and “not to fight against Russia, let alone annihilate it.”
Regardless of when this was filmed, it is clearly a response to Macron’s blow-out in the recent election (something that was predicted before it happened).
I don’t follow French politics closely, but I do know Marine Le Pen made massive gains campaigning on an anti-war platform. In general, the French don’t like their current position in the world, being pushed around by literally everyone – US, UK, Germany; everyone is pushing them around.
French are much different than the rest of “the West” for the simple reason that they never learned English. However, the reason they didn’t learn English was that they hate America, who they accurately view as forcing a degrading, soulless fake “culture” of sex and consumerism on them.
France has a lot of morons like any other country, but there is an underlying understanding that every global event is something that they’re being forced to go along with as a result of World War II. As a prime example (that sort of epitomizes the conflict), France didn’t even want to close down its African colonies.
There’s one book that explains all of this in violent, pornographic detail.
Anyway, the French aren’t going to do anything anytime soon. No one is going to do anything until they don’t have any choice. Everyone is too comfortable.
But it remains a balancing act for French leaders to remain slaves to the Anal Empire while also keeping their people from revolting.
