Macron: we are not vassals, US senator: this is disgraceful

I agree. France and other European countries should de-risk from too much relying on either China or USA.

France was never a vassal of China, in other words, he was talking about the US

Impressive Statements ❤

Pragmatic and smart points.

President Macron makes sense. I like the idea of Europe being able to defend itself without needing help from the U.S.

So he admits to a global agenda!!!!!!!!!!!

10% for the Big Guy!!!

That's fine, most of us Americans at the moment have waning/no interest in increased globalization or a "global agenda."

US: we give you another chance, think carefully, do you want to correct some of your position?

You shouldn't "accelerate". I love that statement. You see, that is where you can tell the difference between a politician and a lawyer. Being a President is like being the commander in chief Representative of a country. You can't be a politician and lead an army. Accelerate would indicate a legal term and something similar to Ex Parte or Emergency. Giving emergency or not is not an actual answer to the question. Changing the procedure does not change the substance of the conversation and the question was on the substantive meaning and not the procedure to get there. The politician uses divergence to direct the topic to an agenda rather than answer facts and findings. The procedure he would use or not wasn't exactly the question now was it? So what is accelerating a procedure have to do with giving an answer to the question? Politicians. Don't expect much more.

France has always wanted to go its own way since WW2 ended, but was never quite powerful enough to do so. Many countries in Europe don't really care about this and are strong supporters of the relationship with the US even if they are the definitive jr. partner, especially in eastern Europe nowadays and in Britain.

"F*** the EU" -Victoria Nuland

I agree with a lot of his statements on European independence hopefully they’ll follow thru(though highly unlikely 😂)

why is volume so low can hardly hear this ❓

He started by admitting the fact he wasn't bluffing when he said what he said, and he is not modifying it. He is not drifting, he knows exactly what he said and what he is saying and about to say.

LOL, the host is so funny, directly ask Macron WHY he want to be autonomous😄 at 3:00.

How he’s sitting here. That’s a serious man. French should be proud. He doesn’t take these questions lightly and he cares about his people what more can you ask for in a leader. Macrone when I think of this guy he doesn’t come off as someone for himself someone who only cares about billions of dollars for his own family.

I can't imagine Europe without basic value

If I can help it , I do check where products come from.

And how many times have we fought wars that arent our in Europe?

From the words of this journalist, one can see how terrifying the idea of American hegemony is, as they believe other countries should submit to the will of the United States. Why can't Europeans have their own independent military and energy security policy? I fully support Macron❤❤

*Europe has been the culprit most of the times. Most of the colonizers were from Europe. Both World Wars had European origins. Russia-Ukraine war has more to do Europe than anything else. The Europeans have to come out of the mind set that their problems are world's problems and world's problems are not theirs. There is a brutal civil war going on in Myanmar - who is talking about that?*

He knows that being a friend of the US can be fatal.

The problem with Macron is that he is more on form than substance.

Bottom line. With most of the world at war, hot or cold, economies and the well being of ALL countries will suffer. Because of the ambitions and excessive greed of a few flawed leaders who lack the constraints and better judgement of "people's governments."

All countries should work together to prevent stupidity from spreading spreading.

Point Blank very honest the guy knows how to talk🤔

Ha ha ha! What does that mean, Macron? You are indecisive.

E-Manuel Crony is resource-intensive. Maybe WEF can create AI replacement?

Let's go BRANDON

This is the everlasting and real story of the NATO! Since the great war, Europe was not able to fix their own problems by themselves since then, and still now. Europe always adopted, needed and even plea to the US as their Big Brother to help them fix their problems every time. Being so, who has the blame of this? --- For those who criticize the "gringos" on this, please STOP speaking anti capitalist nonsense phrases without a notion of the historical reality first! Cheers.

I don’t want a one world order that’s dangerous leave us be as independent countries and let’s just all get along

It washes up on our shores !

Stop it everyone. You’re getting in the way of this guy’s plans! 😂😂😂

Nothing about Biden? Shame on CNN

Warmongers or merchants….not difficult to see which one is best for your economy, country and people

I want this case to start back from since I was born in 1961

Macron is now rare comprehensible political leader in Europe. He knows that China cannot be absent in today's world, and he also knows that Europe must be United and independent.

You can't do that because you are not allowed to do it. That's it. ☝️☝️

Am I looking at a Get Smart agent from the sixties?

France is a refugee hellscape and this guy is talking about other countries? 🤣😂

This is the right step and it is common sense.

I have also said that for like 15 years

when macron said we need a more * AUTONOMOUS * europe , the reporter asked " why "

Do you know what’s really impossible? To believe anything on any of your stations!😂😂😂

honest, and straight to the point... not like our politicians back in the states just keep on pointing finger and try to pocket it themselves

He wants a more multipolar world which will bring more global stability.

480p quality in 2023? Bruh..

I didn’t see France saying this when their grip on francophone Africa was tight. Now he wants to even the playing field to dilute Russian influence in Africa. Not that diluting Russian influence is a bad thing, however, but anyone with a brain can see why he’s doing this

Have you ever seen those small dogs that try to hump your leg. Macaron is the human equivalent

Well he ain’t speaking Chinese i think we know where he stands

Yes

Am afraid this is true regardless of the progress there’s always gonna be a lag in rendering real time global success

The world needs to find ways to move from a dependence on any major powers, whether that's China, Russia, or the US.

Us needs a union with Canada South America and the Caribbean like how there’s the eu and people can migrate within the union and work or live

Manny!!!

Wasn't he saying he wants to detach Europe from the US? He put some thought into it after initial impulse and he realized it can't be done.

Regarding polling on military action in Twain, it’s one thing to poll when military action is a possibility, but it is entirely different when the public sees a nation being unjustly invaded by another.

Most netizens think they know more than their leaders about US&China, yes I mean in 1980-201x Chinese people

To a minimal yes.

Good bless 🇷🇺🇨🇳

F globalization.

it turns like it 's in a frying pan

That’s true

Good. We dont need it.

Macron is so right in everything I have heard from him. I’m not French so I don’t know much about domestic things but he seems amazing, taking global warming seriously and ofc being for nuclear energy instead of being against it. Cause nuclear is the only way to get to 100% co2 free energy

Yes, America needs to stop coming to Europe's aid every time there's a military conflict. Let Europe do it own thing.

Ohh someone’s cool now with those sideburns

He is very well spoken

"subtle differences on human rights" - macron in regards to china

"we" are ALL ONE 💛

So should this happen before the big guy and his son go to jail?

I agree with Macron. We Europeans don't elect the US president, so we shouldn't be too dependent on the US. The alternative would be to create a Western Union where we Europeans are included in the election of a common administration. Call it something like "The United States of the Free World".

People should stop thinking that they live on different earths …. They all are on the same planet 🌎

Whatever you like him or not this guy is smart , not racist and good diplomatic ... Europe should be stronger but same time needs to share that with other developing and poor countries to keep peace globally

How bout just worry about France like you were elected to do?

France supported US independence not because they liked the Americans but they wanted to weaken the British Empire. It is just as some Americans support Taiwan independence not because they know anything about Taiwan but because they want to weaken China.

What this guy wants to say is “a global agenda is impossible without France and me”. But in fact he is not that important and we all know that.

Why not include Russia? Does not make sense.

Set aside the political and ideological differences. We are at war with technology companies

LET'S GO BRANDON 👏👏👏👏👏

Macron the do nothing for anyone now worry about a global agenda 😂😂😂

Vive Le France! Love you guys from the Netherlands, Macron is a good leader

Shoutout to macrons barber for fixing his receding hairline

increase cooperation with the USA obviously but he ment militarily or in case some stuff happens. I mean he might be slightly opportunistic fance had some problems economically minimally and he want s to trade with everyone hopefully which is very smart

48 Powers of Law: Law 20: Do Not Commit to Anyone: Don’t commit to any side or cause except yourself. By maintaining your independence, you remain in control - others will vie for your attention. You also have the ability to pit the sides against each other.

Chemspray is global, what's up with that.

GOOD -

So Africa must be independent autonomous too

I stand by my friend Macron in everything he said.

Macron: "For me it's very important to have much more autonomous Europe and EU". It's not "more", it's "much more". It's not related to China, not even to Russia at this point, but to US. This is the most important statement coming from some European president / prime minister in last three decades.

Correct. US and China should not deal at arms length. They are old friends and allies for the world. We pray that all will be settled in peace.

Aww that's so sad.

Russia, china, Iran the only in the friend-zone.

See when there was a crisis with Ukraine it was a global challenge and being neutral meant you will be seen as a bad nation in the history books, but in the case of crisis with Asian Taiwan being neutral for Europe nation or atleast for now France is okay. It just shows the principal and 1 dimensional thought process of Europe. "Europe's problems are world's problems but World's problems are not Europe's problems" hence proved.

He wants EU no longer to be the little brother of US but rather a good partner. EU should be able to stand on their own feet. US felt a little bit disappointed to give up its little brother to play with.

Amazing nice to heard

France: a big country that keeps technologically advanced but never helps much.
