With the Olympics approaching, Palestine burning and millions of Islamic immigrants in Paris Macron should be reading up on Marie Jehenney prophecies before having imaginings about Odessa.

Or even one of Michel Houellebecq's more recent novels. Perhaps the sarcasm is too crude for such a refined personage.

Hmm…

Seems French is pushing Moldavia’s Transnistria stupidity.

And does not think Russia can do anything about it.

I wonder how long til Russia establishes a land bridge to Transnistria? Russia is building rail lines avoiding Crimea, that will enable further deeper Russian advances due to addressing logistical issues.

The DIGITAL Paradigm retrieves the MEDIEVAL attitudes and sensibilities. Thus Globalism and its fantasies are now obsolete. Nations and the coming civilizations will be concerned about themselves, not about fantasies about the world becoming one. The technology is ubiquitous and changing everyone everywhere all at once. The world “map” is a modern era invention, fantasy, thus the Euros new found fears…they will have to deal with realities they have not wanted to for centuries, including what to do with the Globalist outpost that is Israel. The West is falling down and stepping aside while others rise. New narratives are coming, but in the meantime, it will be a very dangerous transition out of TELEVISION driven Globalism.

In an interview with Le Figaro (solidly Macronist but starting to wake up…), De Villepin gives three reasons for Macron’s bombastic utterances: one, political: “divide and conquer” or “établir des clivages” between the various parties who support Ukraine and those who don’t; two, diplomatic: Macron’s voice resonates more in a US leadership vacuum, (“l’effacement du leadership américain”) allowing Macron to “substitue” his voice for America’s; and three, the “syndrome de la phrase magique” or “magic expression syndrome” which, I guess, is what for Mac passes for diplomacy (the meaningless and silly “strategic ambiguity”!). Coming from a trained, seasoned and respected diplomat, an excoriating indictment, and not the first one DV has issued of Macron’s presidency.

I think everyone would agree the Biden regime would not hesitate for a second to start nuclear war in an attempt to stop the election

The TDS looms large. If they can’t win with lawfare, and Trump risks exposing the corruption, I don’t think nuclear escalation is beyond impossible. Putin has shown to be shrewd. Preventing escalation, yet weakening NATO. It is said Joetato’s regime wants to pivot to China. There is a real crisis with respect to China and Taiwan. I am personally against the US getting involved with defending Taiwan, but the US is strongly dependent on semiconductors which are fabbed there. And if China takes that, it will be devastating for the US as the technology will be in China’s control. No one is excited about building new semi fabs in the US because of the government mandating DEI. The level of US incompetence viz a vis Ukraine, promoting an alliance between China and Russia is staggering with Taiwan in the balance.

TDS causes the most irrational behavior and low expectations from his enemies. What is a bigger threat to democracy to these types. Trump? or Russia?

I have no doubt about China selling semis. The issue at hand is the trade secrets across industry is now in China's hands. Currently, we have serious export controls preventing any technology slipping into China's hands (or Ukraine, or the ME). When I say serious export controls, I mean there is currently, a huge costs to business to prevent this from happening....everything is micromanaged and watched...right down to paper napkin sketches. Lawyers have field days over the matter...companies are being fined by the government to the tune of millions over the matter.

I’m not old enough, but didn’t the French stick us with Vietnam? This of course would be a much bigger problem.

Yes, very strong proof of mimesis at work.
