Indivisible security can be achieved when we realize that the race of mankind is indivisible. Unfortunately that race is subdivided into races and ethnicities and those unclear and blurred divisions are unscrupulously manipulated and instrumentalised in the pursuit of power, even today 77 years after the demise of the Third Reich. Fanned racial and ethnic prejudice is a driver of geopolitics and the demonisation of the “other”, including Russophobia. Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz realize this in some way I’m sure, but they are also part of a Western Mafia-like system.
re: “even today 77 years after the demise of the Third Reich” seems not relevant. Hitler didn’t invent racism, and even 77 years later, racism is far more wide-spread, intense and more deeply entrenched in the US than it ever was in Germany. In the 30s, it was used by Hitler for political purposes in order to create a strong sense of Patriotism (which is not the same as racism), and raise the money required to create an empire – money which had been entirely in Jewish hands.
Helga, I understand that racism is a problem in the United States. Some say it is systemic, and that seems likely considering the US-history of slavery and segregation, and the history of the indigenous peoples. Others would simply attribute the inequality to the extreme Anglo-Saxon style of economic liberalism as opposed to the European or Canadian social democracy. But in my opinion there are racial reasons for not having universal health care, affordable education and equality of opportunity in the US. As regards Germany, perhaps before and after the Third Reich racism was not entrenched, as you say, except for… Read more »
Let’s not forget that Monsieur Macron is standing as candidate for the next French presidential elections in France, in April 2022. He probably wants to gather some brownie points by visiting the almighty Tsar in Russia. This is supposed to impress his EU colleagues, especially since France has taken over the rotating presidency of EU countries this year.
A grand Tsar in Moscow, a mini Roi Soleil in Paris, this is the actual constellation of powers.
The grand Tsar speaks even to dwarves.
I am reading not so favourable comments about Monsieur Macron by his own compatriots in the commentary section of RT FRANCE: “Quel pitre ce gamin immature et pendant ce temps là RT et SPUTNIK sont toujours interdits à l’Elysée… C’est sur que les points communs entre les 2 sont inexistants Homme d’état et figure historique coté Russe, marionnette immature incompétente et perverse coté France Homme attaché au tradition, à l’histoire de son pays, à la famille à la patrie coté Russe, Traitre a sa patrie, mondialiste, inculte et dépravé coté France …” My translation: “What a pitiful little boy this… Read more »
I think this put-down of Macron is somewhat excessive. At least he is listening to Putin, having very lengthy talks with him indeed. (What a contrast to the clownish Boris Johnson, who has only managed to visit the former comedian in Kiev. He probably feels left out. Has Britain ever had such an empty-headed Foreign Minister as Liz Truss?)
There is a new book published in Germany with the title “Ami go home!” by Stefan Baron, a journalist and business consultant. Translation: “Yankee go Home! A new survey of the world | The tensions with Russia show that Germany and Europe now have to emancipate themselves from America.”
I do not know this book,Beatus. However, I know this saying, “Ami go home”! It is as old as 1945, when the US troops marched into Germany and have been there ever since.
Every generation of Germans since then has shouted “Ami go home”, on multiple occasions. But the “Ami” is deaf on this ear.
As a matter of facts…Countries still Occupied with those notorious genocidal + constant meddling US War-Criminals/World-Terrorists such as Germany Italy South-Korea + Japan, where year after year shown in polls that the majority of their populations want those parasitic US squatters + POS’s ALL gone for good but their corrupt sell-out traitor collaborator Regimes Elites/Oligarchs Apparatschiks + Politclown Establishments give a total “F”. The Occupations are mainly paid by their Taxpayers every year cost them Billions USD forced on them by secretly kept mafia-style extortion gagging “contracts” and the US Occupier keep on robbing looting them blind and bleed them… Read more »
Yes, Beatus, Monsieur Macron pretends to be listening to the Great Tsar of Russia because it looks good for his French voters back home in France, and also for the EU, where France has taken the rotating presidency, this year.
Of course Emmanuel Macron realizes that most French people do not want France to be an enemy of Russia, and after all he is a leader of a democratic country and he is aware of the Gaullist tradition of France. De Gaulle sent Nato packing, and it moved from Paris to Brussels. All of the opposition candidates from the left to the far right (Jean-Luc Mélanchon, Marine le Pen, Eric Zemmour) have voiced their support for a new security architecture for Europe which respects the security interests of Russia vis-à-vis the United States primarily. Why is it that those furthest… Read more »
France is not so democratic, after all. The Government pretends that this is so but the French people think differently. Having lived in Southern France for the past years, I have heard complaints about the autocratic style of government many times. Some French even say that they are living under a dictatorship and are shouting for a new French Revolution.
If Macron really wants to build historic solutions with Putin (as he says in the Journal de Dimanche interview) he will have to talk as much about indivisible security as he is talking about the sovereign equality of states. He will have to be more than just a debater. And he will have to think about the elephant in the room, the USA, and the politics of the State Department and the Congress and their undiminished thirst for imperial power on foreign continents. Because that is the stumbling block. And he will have to think about the human rights of… Read more »
