Macron Says Europe Must Reduce Dependency on United States and Avoid Being Pulled into Pending Taiwan Crisis

CTH: If you overlay the U.S. intelligence leaks as a potential excuse for the U.S. not getting deeper into the never-ending Ukraine conflict we support, then the comments by Emmanuel Macron about the EU not wanting to get involved with U.S. interests in Taiwan make more sense.

On his flight back from Beijing, French President Macron told traveling media, Europe needs to reduce dependency on the United States.  Remarkably, this is what President Donald Trump has been saying for years as part of his overall EU and NATO policy. However, this could also be an indication of a strategic Taiwan pivot by the U.S. as shared from the Foggy Bottom diplomats who love their French connections. more

  1. Well, the Left and Deep State want a war as they will ride that through the next presidential election cycle. Macaroon is relaying a message to “stay out of it” for all of Europe from China. Unspoken is what advantage/threats were relayed, but I’ll predict it rhymes with COVID-23.

    That’s fair. Us Americans aren’t too thrilled about being dragged into Europe’s constant bullshit, either. The U.S. has already saved France’s ass twice in the last century — don’t think we have any obligation to do it again.

  4. About 10 years or so ago I saw a bumper sticker on a car down in the Walla Walla, Wa. area that said Obama, the quicker fucker upper. That needs to updated to Biden, the even quicker, super-duper fucker upper. What hasn’t joey screwed up; he has the reverse Midas touch because everything he does turns to crap.

  5. Macron, this time, is smart enough to step aside and let Shitpants and the Warmongers of the MIC faceplant.

    OTOH, Macron stepped on a rake re his domestic agenda, Paris is on fire with protests.

  6. WWI and WWII is ancient history for European Countries, Fair enough.
    Pull all US troops (keep the US bases and property).
    Our tax dollars support many economies (soon to be Chinese nation states).
    No longer prop up Germany, France or any other adversary of the US (including the Palestinian PLO and other muslim countries).

    Get the UN out of the US and the US out of the UN. House the UN in China amidst the slave labor, political concentration and re-education camps. China can instruct their co conspirators about freedom.

    Possibly the US would Return to helping US Citizens and expand our freedoms and tax dollars and not prop up dictatorships who enslave their citizens.
    Yep, isolationism is where this country started, it’s time to return. Assist only those who desire freedom, but first assist freedom seeking Americans of our nation.

  7. The only way the west can stop China’s assault and takeover of Taiwan is using nukes. Even then it will be a Pyrrhic Victory if such a thing can even be called a victory.

    For decades, the US thought that proclaiming its responsibility to protect Taiwan, from its language if not by some treaty, would be enough to deter China. In the meantime, we helped China become a powerful enemy.

    Just think how dumb that it. It’s like if a guy is about to get into a knife fight with an adversary, he gives him his own knife, leaving himself defenseless. Asinine.
