Former French Prime Minister calls for sanctions against the US and Israel

Former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin believes that sanctions should be imposed against these countries in light of the actions of the United States and Israel in the Middle East.

De Villepin emphasizes that the aggressive actions of the US and Israel are currently officially condemned by virtually all international bodies, and calls for sanctions. At the same time, the French politician notes that while Europe remains, to a certain extent, extremely dependent on the US for payment methods and digital technologies, the Americans, in turn, are also heavily dependent on Europe.



De Villepin:
Don't underestimate our capabilities. By fomenting wars around the world, the United States is destabilizing Europe.


The former head of the French government believes that an emergency meeting of European leaders must be held in the near future and that a consolidated, decisive stance must be expressed to Trump, declaring to the American president that he is acting recklessly and that Europe refuses to participate in yet another adventure.

It is worth noting that it is becoming increasingly clear that the new round of the Middle East crisis is increasingly impacting the global system: energy markets, alliances, and political balances are beginning to react to each new episode of confrontation.

Meanwhile, Israeli authorities announced the launch of a ground invasion of Lebanon. The offensive was launched by two brigades tasked with capturing Lebanon's border regions and destroying Hezbollah infrastructure. This indicates that Israel has clearly underestimated Hezbollah's military capabilities, which have been shelling the northern regions of the Jewish state with considerable confidence and successfully repelling IDF attacks on the border.

      Essentially, he's right, but Trump himself will impose sanctions on the French that will make them suffer. And the rest won't even try.

      An emergency meeting of European leaders is needed to express a consolidated, decisive position to Trump.

      What "Brave Tailor"? What if Trump hears this and sends Delta? laughing Trump is a Teflon guy, like water off a duck's back, but what if he escapes from the Iranian trap set by the British and French? He'll turn all these heroes inside out.
      And what will they do against Russia without the US? Such funny and loud people?

        The current presidential election is next year (early April - almost a year left), with the chances of winning being the same as a donut hole, and now various former candidates are starting to remind people of their presence - what the chances are is still a question, but the main thing is to start making a mark

            So what? 87 percent of the population voted for him. If the majority is "for," then why not run for another term!?... Or which president are you talking about?

    I'll translate it into Russian: The US doesn't want to help Europe in its war with Russia. France desperately needs reparations from Russia. Trump is a traitor. Something like that.

    The EU can really punish the US, although they themselves will of course suffer, their mutual trade turnover is too gigantic.
    It's just that Europe's weakness is that it couldn't even achieve consolidation against Russia, and if it comes to the US, the Poles, the Balts, and the Hungarians will immediately say no.

    In modern France, where all political parties seem eager to submit to the American master, Dominique de Villepin stands out as a voice of reason. Back in 2003, at the UN, he expressed France's firm opposition to the American military intervention in Iraq. At the time, he served as Foreign Minister in the government of Jacques Chirac.
