France’s Macron Humiliates Biden, Snubbing U.S. On China and Taiwan
More and more coutnries are drifting away from the U.S.
French President Emmanuel Macron said this weekend that European are not looking to be “caught up in crises that are not ours,” while claiming he is intent on “[reducing Europe’s] dependency on the United States,” to avoid being dragged into a conflict between the US and China.Macron has demanded that Europe reduces its reliance on the United States and avoids getting dragged into a confrontation between the US and China over Taiwan.
POLITICO, which issued a bizarre disclaimer on its interview with the French President, reported the comments in a major blow for the Biden government. The corporate media had previously claimed that the presidency of Donald Trump would cause blowback from international allies, but the largest foreign policy problems have, in fact, emerged under Biden.
POLITICO’s disclaimer read:
As is common in France and many other European countries, the French President’s office, known as the Elysée Palace, insisted on checking and “proofreading” all the president’s quotes to be published in this article as a condition of granting the interview. This violates POLITICO’s editorial standards and policy, but we agreed to the terms in order to speak directly with the French president. POLITICO insisted that it cannot deceive its readers and would not publish anything the president did not say…I guess France doesn't trust the press anymore than we do.
France arguably is a socialist country, considering its high tax rates and extensive social programs. However, it is not communist, as the state does not attempt to control the means of production. President Macron has long been a strong proponent of European “strategic autonomy,” which would see further the European Union integrate both militarily and politically purposes. These plans would create, according to Macron, a “third superpower” to rival the US and China.

It was just a matter of time. The ship is sinking, and they are not going down with the ship.
Did anyone think they would?
We defend 67 countries around the world. We, as part of NATO, defend France.
It's nice to depend on your friends.
That's by choice Lynn. It makes us feel powerful to constantly refer to this.
But, let's face it. It's growing thin.
They used to say: "The Sun Never Sets on the British Empire"
We are, as they say: A legend in our own minds.
We are a powerful nation and it is not a legend in our own mind.
2:42 you are so anti-American. Why is that?
There is a difference between being anti-American, and anti-stupid.
It's hard to support a people who have no knowledge of the past, and very little about the times they are living in.
