Summary
French President Emmanuel Macron urged Europe to “wake up” and strengthen its defense in response to Donald Trump’s second-term inauguration.
Highlighting potential U.S. policy shifts, including reduced support for Ukraine and a military pivot to the Pacific, Macron emphasized Europe’s need to reduce reliance on U.S. security.
He called for increased European military spending, robust aid to Ukraine, and guarantees for its security post-war.
Macron’s remarks underscore concerns about U.S. disengagement and aim to prompt Europe to play a larger role in global security.
So is he going for the hypocrisy world record, does he think we’re all idiots with no memory of his tenure in government, or is this just a ploy to enrich his buddies in the MIC?
I’m gonna go with D: all of the above.
