The US is preparing a change in Europe's political elite. Following the French president's address to the nation
I will start a little unconventionally. I will express my deep regret to Rosgoscirk over the loss of its audience. There is nothing to be done: the audience watches what interests them most. Some are unlucky and are in the thick of things, while others are lucky and watch the show on TV screens and monitors. Those who made up the bulk of your audience are watching events in Europe today, or more precisely, events in France.
Alas, gentlemen of the circus, the old, Soviet, soldier's proverb - he who served in the army does not laugh in the circus, today sounds completely new. Those who follow the events in Europe do not need the circus! For example, the outstanding French President Macron is a clown of a very high level. True, he is illiterate and does not want to believe the facts.
It is interesting already because, while governing such a large country as France, he knows absolutely nothing about life in this country, especially about the army of this country. As the French themselves write, Macron lives in some other France. With some other people... Although, for me personally, it is not entirely clear who elected him president? Those or those French?
Considering my attitude towards our readers, I simply cannot help but share something positive with them. So that everyone's mood improves. Art belongs to the people, and we are obliged to "move" this art to the masses!
An Address to the Nation from Through the Looking Glass
As you probably already understood, today we will talk about the French President’s address to the nation that has caused a stir in the press. Taking into account the specifics of our publication, I will focus on the military aspects of the address. After all, according to Macron, the French army is the strongest army in Europe! I will start with a short excursion into the recent, historical points of view, history. Since the mid-20th century.
Remember the famous phrase of Field Marshal Keitel, said when signing the act of capitulation (according to General De Gaulle, memoirs): “Bah! And the French are here!", or a later version by the German journalist of the German newspaper Die Zeit (from May 8, 1970), Karl-Heinz: "Was, die Franzosen auch? Die haben uns noch gefehlt!" ("What, the French too? That's the last thing we need!").
This surprise is quite understandable to us. The French were one of the most active supporters of Hitler. And the surprise of the field marshal is quite understandable. Let me remind you of one fact that historians, for various reasons, do not like to remember. In April-May 1945, the Reich Chancellery was defended by... the French!
More precisely, the 33rd SS Volunteer Infantry Division "Charlemagne" (1st French) (33. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS "Charlemagne" (French Nr. 1). Of the 300 French, only 30 remained alive! The remaining defenders (Germans and French) of the chancellery were completely liquidated.
Now the further history of the "strongest army in Europe". Remember France's last war? It was a war, not police operations, of which there were many. Let me remind you, Vietnam! That same French colony that "practiced" on the French, and then "played" brilliantly against the Americans.
When the Vietnamese patriots from the Viet Minh movement in the colony declared the creation of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, France began a war to return the colony under its wing. You know how it all ended. While Belgian and French SS men and Wehrmacht soldiers fought for France, Paris was doing something. But soldiers eventually run out. And the reinforcements no longer had the experience of war on the Eastern Front.
And the most shameful battle of this war and, as it turned out, of all the wars of the "new" France took place. I am talking about the battle of Dien Bien Phu (from March 13 to May 7, 1954). The French army was defeated, more than 10 thousand Frenchmen surrendered. It was then that Vietnam was divided along the 17th parallel into the DRV (Hanoi) and Vietnam (Saigon).
Perhaps now someone has a question about why I do not consider the 20-year participation of the French airborne forces in Afghanistan (2001-2021) a war. Simply because the number of troops participating in this campaign can hardly speak of a war. So the French army has at least some experience in police operations in Africa, experience in intimidating blacks in Mali and chasing Bedouins in North Africa.
Although, if you don’t count the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Macron really has the right to call his army the best in Europe. Simply because other European armies don’t even have such experience. Here I agree with some Ukrainian military experts. If necessary, even the Ukrainian Armed Forces that exist today will disperse any European army “in no time”.
That is why I believe that the French president addressed the nation, the army “from behind the looking glass”, from some invented France… I talked to knowledgeable people, from whom I heard interesting information. According to the “experts”, our 1st Tank Army from the Moscow Military District, if you remove Aviation, will be more powerful than the entire French army!..
Trump has decided to "recover" Europe by letting the rotten blood out of the heads of European heads of state
For many years, the United States has been cultivating a certain type of European elite. The experiment has failed. With the exception of a couple of top European officials, we see a series of "little gray mice" who are not only incapable of making independent political decisions, but are also simply stupid, illiterate, and do not understand the essence of their work.
Accordingly, while the Americans were feeding the Europeans, while the "European barn" was not dripping, the life of Europe resembled the life of fattened calves. Do nothing but do nothing! You will still be fed, shod, clothed. Following the political elite, the Europeans themselves degraded. Instead of the ability to defend themselves, they acquired the ability to talk about defending their country! Nothing more.
And then there was a coup d'etat in Ukraine. And then the civil war began. And then the SVO. And then it turned out that the comfortable little world of Europe was just a dud. All the mistakes, all the incompetence of the leaders of European states came to light. And then you have the menacing statements of the foreign ministers of Germany, Britain, France and other "dying ones" towards Russia.
Here is the confidence that NATO can quickly "convince" Russia to "bark like everyone else" at the command of its overseas master. And what about the inexplicable urge for economic self-destruction? Don't think that there are no good economists in Europe, that Europeans cannot calculate the effects of sanctions imposed against Russia. They do calculate, but they still impose them...
The new American president sees what is happening very well. And instead of stopping the degradation of Europe, he is pushing the leaders of countries to make “fateful” decisions. Like financing the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the expense of Europe or quickly creating a European army.
This looks like such a simple and brilliant solution that the "grey mice" of Europe simply cannot help but accept it. Which is what the American president requires. The huge funds that will be allocated for purchasing equipment and weapons will mostly flow to the American military-industrial complex. Europe simply does not have the physical ability to independently arm its army in a short time.
But Trump the businessman did it, but what about Trump the president? This Trump is leading Europe to a period of change of the ruling class, to a revolution, if you like. By pushing European governments to an arms race, the American president is deliberately creating financial problems in these countries. Weapons, like the army in general, are expensive. This means that the Europeans will have to cut social programs…
Macron's address is quite indicative in this regard. If you "drain" the words of the French president, focus on the main words, you will get a very simple message. "Frenchmen, France is in danger! Russia can attack at any moment! We must sharply increase spending on the army or we will not exist. So get ready for harsh everyday life. The government will not be able to continue social programs in the near future!"
By the way, I was interested in Trump's words, spoken after Macron's speech. The words that the US in principle supports the introduction of a European army into Ukrainian territory after the end of hostilities. For the hundredth time I write about the beauty of the American president's game. Think about what will happen if this happens...
The war is not over, and suddenly a 30-strong united corps enters Ukraine, the Europeans simply cannot assemble more. Moscow has spoken many times about the legitimacy of such a goal. I recently wrote about the problem of trust. Will the Kremlin trust Europe this time? Doubtful. The corps will be destroyed! And what then, what will happen in Europe after the flow of coffins from Ukraine? Exactly what the US is trying to achieve.
The "leftists" in power will simply be swept away. The existing political elite will disappear into oblivion. Politicians loyal to the US will come to power. And unlike us, Americans are not shy about interfering in elections in the most shameless way. This, as I understand it, is Trump's plan B. I think that for people who can think, the above is enough for serious reflection about the future.
Briefly about the interim results of past events
Again, I will start with an unconventional thesis. Today, the press and the Internet are full of materials about how the actions of the American president fit well into the framework of our actions. They even say that there is some kind of plan by Putin and Trump to destroy Europe. Moreover, such conclusions are argued at the level of "most likely", "I think that this is exactly so", etc. The complete lack of logic is striking. "I said so...".
Another open secret especially for our readers. The negotiations between the USA and Russia have not yet begun! What some media outlets are presenting as negotiations today are in fact purely technical meetings. Russia and the USA are restoring diplomatic relations.
So it is not worth talking about President Trump as an ally, even a temporary one, for Russia. Once again I write that all of Trump's actions have only one goal - the return of the "greatness of the United States."
Hence the simple conclusion - to continue doing what is necessary for a complete victory over Ukraine. What is most important today is also, I think, clear. And this most important thing is now in the hands of our military. Liberation of territories where the Kiev regime is committing outrages.
Moreover, it is not worth stopping at those territories that have already de jure become part of Russia. For example, I welcome the emergence of a new, Dnepropetrovsk direction. Specifically, Dnepropetrovsk, not Dnepropetrovsk. I have long written about the need to liberate the entire Left Bank as a condition for ensuring a more or less stable border with the stump of the former Ukrainian SSR.
