. And yet, despite the EU's chief diplomat recently refusing to be drawn into a conflict scenario with China and MEPs pathetically voting to deem Russia a terrorist state, it was not the EU which came to the conclusion. It was the French president Emmanuel Macron.
Nine whole months since the war started in February of this year,
Macron is beginning to see that he has been outplayed by the incumbent buffoon in the White House. Yes, 'Where Am I going Biden' is actually not as dumb as he looks or acts.
The true winner of the Ukraine war is America by far which has made Europe dependent on its LPG, while it is Europeans who are reduced to living like refugees in their own countries once the cost is passed on.French President Emmanuel Macron recently travelled to Washington, D.C. this past week for the first state visit of the Biden Administration, but not before telling Australia's 60 Minutes correspondent Bill Whitaker that relations between the historic allies were in need of a reset.
"How have relations been out of sync?" Whitaker asked.
"I think this administration and President Biden personally is very much attached to Europe," Macron said. "But when you look at the situation today, there is indeed a de-synchronization. Why? Energy. Europe is a gas and oil buyer. The U.S. is a producer. And when you look at the situation, our industries and our households are not buying at the same price. So there is a big gap impacting purchasing power and competitiveness of our societies."
