Would you like to start a thread about ‘neoliberalism’ Jeff? That would be interesting.
An Indian geopolitical observer worth reading, imo:
‘ Macron already marked his profound difference with the US stance on Ukraine, a topic that dominated his visit, in a remark in Paris on Saturday after his return, during an interview for the French channel TF1. Macron said,
“We must think about the security architecture, in which we will live tomorrow. I am talking, in particular, about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s words that NATO is approaching Russia’s borders and deploys weapons that could threaten it. This issue will be a part of the peace discussions, and we must prepare for what will come after [the Ukrainian conflict], and think how we could protect our allies and, at the same time, provide Russia with guarantees of its own security, once the sides return to the negotiation table.”
Of course the question of why negotiations were rejected by the US has never been answered. My guess would be because the neocons at state didn’t want to thinking a military conflict between Ukraine and Russia would be advantageous to ‘our’ interests. It has moved merch. I’ll give em that. Weakening our supposed allies doesn’t seem to be a good trade off if correct.
