hop Hello everyone We are on the air this is the00:00:17
Alpha project My name is Nikolai Feldman and the00:00:19
polylab kusa project is here hello We00:00:22
will make this premiere on two channels at once00:00:25
not on-air but00:00:28
Premier Yes we have gathered with Leah to discuss the00:00:31
possibilities of France And on a large scale and as well00:00:35
promised on one of the Big Broadcasts00:00:38
across the states, we promised to do this, and00:00:41
now this moment has come, France00:00:44
and driver Europe, the European Union becomes a00:00:48
leader like this, uh, I see right away or00:00:52
sketty drits00:00:58
skeptical I have nothing against yes00:01:00
Well, look at the whole Spectrum of different I00:01:04
caught opinions regarding the00:01:06
French leadership positions00:01:08
of potential a00:01:09
Key key key argument00:01:13
of propaganda00:01:14
regarding against France, he says00:01:16
the following Well, what about Malta France if00:01:20
they lost not even to the Russian00:01:23
Federation but just to some Wagner in00:01:25
Africa, then what can they do there? This00:01:27
raises00:01:31
questions a France is supposed to00:01:33
have strategic interests00:01:36
there in Africa and strategic resources00:01:38
important for its energy sector, and so on,00:01:40
uranium mines, this is all00:01:43
connected with uranium as fuel for00:01:46
its nuclear power industry. That’s00:01:49
if they were unable to00:01:51
retain a strategic resource there00:01:54
what they can do in terms of force in a large00:01:58
global confrontation with the military Well, the00:02:01
key question in your opinion is what is the00:02:03
answer Well, let’s start with it right away Yes, let’s00:02:05
immediately break down this thesis,00:02:10
uh, if we evaluate France only00:02:14
exclusively from the point of view of its military force00:02:17
potential, I’ll remind you that France - this is00:02:20
one of the largest armies in Europe at00:02:24
the moment, unlike Germany, the state of the00:02:28
French army is better00:02:30
because in Germany with this, if we were00:02:32
talking about Germany, I would agree00:02:35
because there even before the war in Ukraine and00:02:38
we covered this topic by the way there were00:02:40
big scandals and problems with the state of the00:02:43
army when there. Well, they conducted00:02:45
an audit of where or what, there’s a lot of everything. It doesn’t00:02:49
fly, it doesn’t work, it doesn’t travel, the submarines are00:02:52
stationary. Well, in short, there was just a terrible00:02:54
situation, just in time, at the time this00:02:57
scandal arose, it concerned even periods in00:03:00
including when Ursula Vonderlein was the Minister of Defense, the00:03:02
current head of00:03:03
the European Commission in France there are no such problems,00:03:06
that00:03:07
is, it is believed that the French army00:03:10
maintains normal00:03:12
combat capability. It’s clear that it’s00:03:16
difficult for us. Well, it’s kind of difficult to assess. But that’s00:03:19
how France is. That’s what it will00:03:21
do in such a conventional war00:03:24
on a scale like ours, well, because00:03:27
they haven’t taken part in such events for a long time,00:03:30
but they have combat experience because00:03:32
French troops until recently00:03:34
took an active part in various00:03:36
anti-terrorist military operations00:03:38
in00:03:40
Africa, including the latest one,00:03:42
Operation Barkhane in the Sahel region00:03:45
Just on the territory of00:03:47
Mali which00:03:49
ended unsuccessfully, that is, they were00:03:52
unable to complete the task of destroying00:03:54
terrorist groups in that00:03:56
area. But that’s00:03:58
if you googled how many years it00:04:01
lasted there after the fourteenth year.00:04:03
Yes, what did you do for 8 years, a question for France; they were00:04:06
engaged in Operation Barkhane unsuccessfully K00:04:08
Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful, but they00:04:11
carried it out, that is, people gained combat experience.00:04:12
It was a limited contingent,00:04:15
but nevertheless, that is, like the00:04:17
United States, France used its power00:04:19
resource more often than other00:04:22
European countries, definitely more often than even00:04:24
Germany,00:04:25
and there, yes, successfully unsuccessfully. Well, that’s how it is would be00:04:30
But this is but successfully unsuccessfully this is not again00:04:32
this is like this Well, this kind of00:04:36
reminds me of yesterday we had a broadcast with00:04:39
Nikolai Kapitonenko where we also once Well,00:04:42
where he correctly said that it’s like00:04:44
great states They are Well, that’s what they00:04:47
lose Well first of all, this happens And00:04:50
secondly, it doesn’t mean anything often Well, that00:04:52
is, yes, they lose, but for example,00:04:55
losing may not be him, it doesn’t00:04:57
necessarily entail the collapse00:04:59
of this state Well, the states have lost00:05:01
a bunch of times Well, over the past 50 years, well00:05:04
count starting from Vietnam ending with00:05:07
Iraq and Afghanistan. They lost all these00:05:08
wars, but this did not lead to the00:05:10
fact that they collapsed or that their GDP00:05:13
there went to zero, yes, or what? No, well, that00:05:15
is, this is already a question, yes, that is,00:05:17
how clear is it that each result00:05:20
it is individual and may have some00:05:21
consequences. But for France, Operation00:05:23
Barkhane00:05:25
ended with them losing some of their00:05:28
positions in Africa, yes it is true, that is,00:05:30
they showed their inconsistency as a00:05:33
guarantor of security, this led to00:05:36
even more people becoming disillusioned with the00:05:39
role of France as a guarantor Although the process00:05:41
began even before this. Well, nevertheless, yes.00:05:43
This can be said, but again, this did not00:05:45
mean that France is not capable of conducting00:05:47
military operations. I’m not, I’m not sure, I00:05:50
can’t draw such a conclusion. Therefore, I think00:05:52
that we, that is, We need to clearly understand00:05:56
that the military And plus, don’t forget that00:06:00
France is one of the00:06:02
arms manufacturers and one of the largest00:06:04
exporters in the world after the start of the00:06:07
war in Ukraine, it was France that00:06:11
supplanted arms when it lost its00:06:14
position. Well, because of toxicity, as if00:06:16
because of sanctions precisely at the expense of France,00:06:20
such as India began00:06:22
to diversify the import of weapons, that is,00:06:24
they can’t buy Russian or00:06:26
don’t want anymore and they started ordering00:06:28
from the French, the Egyptians are buying a lot from the00:06:30
French in general, well, now the largest00:06:32
importers of weapons in the world are the Middle00:06:34
East, in my opinion, almost the whole ten and00:06:38
they are00:06:41
rearming that is, France00:06:42
produces a ton of high-00:06:44
quality weapons that are used by many00:06:46
countries, uh. That is, they have a military00:06:49
industry, they have working military-industrial complexes.00:06:51
Well, not all of it is confined only to00:06:54
France, it is scattered, including throughout00:06:55
the European Union, in some some types of00:06:58
weapons, but that I mean, they have00:07:01
enough Well, they have a self-sufficient00:07:04
system in this regard and they are part of00:07:07
France Germany00:07:10
Belgium Who else is partly Italy Britain00:07:14
is the largest military weapons manufacturer, that’s why00:07:17
we need to proceed from00:07:21
how, that is, how we can evaluate00:07:23
differently That is, if we We expect that the00:07:25
French army will come here and00:07:29
fight with the Russian army on our00:07:32
fronts, firstly this will not happen, it is00:07:34
very unlikely. But even if we00:07:36
imagine that it00:07:38
will be like this, well, it’s difficult to say what it is,00:07:41
most likely the French will have problems00:07:43
because they did not participate in Such00:07:44
Wars have been going on for a long time and their military is not ready for00:07:47
this; they are not motivated because, well,00:07:50
public opinion shows that they00:07:51
do not want to fight on our territory in00:07:53
Ukraine with the Russians. Well, in the trenches, that is,00:07:57
they are most likely not motivated; they are00:08:00
most likely not ready for this level00:08:02
intensity of hostilities, and here we are00:08:05
better, we are objectively better because there are a lot of00:08:07
people who have gone through the war.00:08:10
They know the territory better, they know00:08:12
the situation better, they know better what works against the00:08:14
Russians, what doesn’t work, and so on, but to00:08:17
perform limited military functions,00:08:20
for example, guarding some objects, guarding00:08:22
the border conducting targeted00:08:26
special operations,00:08:28
creating joint defense00:08:30
enterprises, this is all France can do and00:08:33
nothing, as it were, and Africa is not an indicator00:08:35
that they left Niger, relatively00:08:37
speaking, it does not mean that they have lost the00:08:39
ability to produce weapons But there is00:08:40
no connection at all between this, that00:08:43
’s why Yes, this is from a military aspect That00:08:45
is, I immediately want to say yes, that there is00:08:48
no reason to say that00:08:51
France is not capable of carrying out any00:08:54
tasks of a military nature,00:08:56
another question is simply yes, what do we expect from them?00:08:58
That is, that is, if we expect that00:09:00
some kind of army no no today there is an army in the world,00:09:02
probably except for the American one, and I do00:09:05
n’t know which one will just come and00:09:09
solve our whole problem with Russia for us. I do00:09:12
n’t have such an army, well, that is, it’s banal,00:09:15
even at the level of motivation. Yes, I00:09:17
agree that, well, the Europeans are not motivated to00:09:18
fight Well, I wouldn’t think here00:09:23
and I wouldn’t pose the question that we,00:09:25
Ukraine, are waiting for the French to come and00:09:28
fight, as if a security fence would be00:09:30
enough. It seems to me. Well, I’m00:09:32
raising it to the Absolute because the thesis00:09:34
that you read out is the same in essence00:09:35
exaggeration, as it were, people proceed00:09:38
from this, apparently this is a thesis, these are people. It00:09:40
seems to me that they are proceeding from such a position that00:09:42
if Russia attacks, for example, the00:09:44
Baltic countries, then the French00:09:47
contingent seems to be here, it00:09:50
can show itself, it will be deployed, and00:09:53
just like it deployed now on the Eastern00:09:54
flank of NATO, the French, including the00:09:56
military, are participating in all these exercises. Well,00:09:59
they are there. They have strengthened the00:10:00
Eastern flank there, and the French00:10:02
military, Italian and Spanish. That00:10:04
is, we don’t know how this is understandable,00:10:06
that is, it is very difficult to predict how00:10:08
they will behave Well, at the same time, I00:10:10
even look at this operation Barkhane, as00:10:12
it were, and in the same Wikipedia it will be written00:10:15
that one way or another the losses of the00:10:19
French contingent over00:10:21
all these 8 years amounted to 34 killed 6000:10:26
wounded at the same time in the battle00:10:30
which are listed here are several groups,00:10:34
six in my opinion or five 600 killed That00:10:38
is, if we are, that is, in terms of losses,00:10:39
they won Well, yes, so and so, that’s how they would00:10:41
destroy everyone No, they didn’t destroy, were there00:10:45
losses only in battles, also no00:10:48
Because that this is, as it were, one of the00:10:50
key00:10:51
points there. As I understand it, before they left,00:10:54
two helicopters actually collided,00:10:57
one transport, the second combat one.00:11:00
Well, that is, not related to the ones that00:11:03
killed 13 French servicemen. That00:11:05
is, it turns out 34 - 13 in real00:11:08
combat clashes this turns out it was00:11:11
even less, as if they suffered losses00:11:14
Well, in terms of losses, yes, but these are00:11:16
losses in general, this is not an indicator at all. I always00:11:18
know this, like the war in Vietnam, this is how00:11:20
much the Americans lost,00:11:22
uh, 57 or 58,000 killed and wounded or00:11:27
killed or only killed in to my00:11:30
Well, the Vietnamese lost more than00:11:32
a million Well, that is, if you00:11:34
look only at losses like this, then in general everything is00:11:36
fine. The United States had it, but00:11:37
nevertheless they lost the war, that is,00:11:39
Loser is not at all an indicator of how And as we00:11:41
understand from our life too That is as if00:11:44
it depends a lot on others, on00:11:46
other indicators for now, that’s how we00:11:49
understood, again from our war, for example,00:11:51
on the ability00:11:53
to mobilize the rear, have a strong rear and00:11:57
mobilize the production of weapons, so00:11:58
France can do all this. The seventh economy of00:12:00
the world for a second is 3 trillion dollars00:12:03
That is, this is 4 % of world GDP Yeah Well, they have00:12:07
the rear Be healthy That is, in principle, they are00:12:09
capable of mobilizing resources, they00:12:11
have the production of their own weapons,00:12:13
they have no problem with providing the army in00:12:16
this regard, yes, they may have00:12:18
problems with motivation. What are we stronger00:12:20
at the moment? because Well, with motivation00:12:22
and with how this is knowledge, how is this Phil,00:12:26
field knowledge because yes, well, it’s00:12:28
obvious that how we fight on our00:12:30
territory, we understand better here, that’s why it’s kind of Depends on how00:12:32
you know00:12:33
what to compare Yeah, that is, I would I didn’t00:12:36
bury France only in Africa, but in00:12:39
general Africa shows little in00:12:41
terms of I’m saying that00:12:43
France’s ability to wage00:12:44
war, this may show problems with00:12:46
France with its positioning in the world.00:12:49
It may show00:12:51
a problem. Well, it’s like a mental intelligence of a visual00:12:53
nature. Yes, this is how the elites of00:12:55
France think Why didn’t they see it there00:12:58
on time? Although by the way00:13:00
they saw it. Well, it seems that they didn’t see it, but they00:13:03
saw How Africa is changing. Why did they00:13:06
react poorly there to communicate,00:13:08
for example? It’s the same. Well, in the modern00:13:09
world, communication decides a lot. That00:13:11
is, why did they communicate poorly,00:13:13
their role as if in Africa, that is, well,00:13:14
in short, this is, well, these are other questions of a different order.00:13:17
Uh-huh. Simply, well, look, we’ll even00:13:20
ask a question, let’s put a point of00:13:23
view based on what00:13:26
Putin proclaimed in an interview with Kiselyov in his kind of00:13:29
programmatic election interview where he00:13:32
said we stepped on macron’s tail in00:13:37
Africa, even here it00:13:40
turns out that he is sort of positioning00:13:43
that Wagner was there and we, of course,00:13:45
are helping Wagner because this is a00:13:46
Russian group, as it were. And00:13:49
it turns out that in such00:13:52
a confrontation there is a fictitious war between00:13:54
Russia or a proxy war between Russia and00:13:57
France in Africa was carried out00:13:59
and With such positioning of Putin,00:14:03
France00:14:05
lost it to00:14:07
Wagner, that is, lost to Wagner. Although, by00:14:09
and large, Wagner could have00:14:12
been destroyed, but not well, that is, it’s like it’s00:14:15
not directly a Russian resource Well, yes,00:14:17
the military00:14:19
Look, I think00:14:23
it’s possible here There is a difference between00:14:25
how the Russian looks the average person and how00:14:28
Putin presents this story to him and how00:14:30
France looks at it and both the realities and the00:14:33
realities like this story the realities the realities are00:14:35
such that the00:14:37
Russian elites of the Russian government00:14:40
they are trying to appropriate this story Yeah,00:14:43
in many ways,00:14:44
yes, of course, Well, there is the presence of the00:14:48
Wagner PMC in some- then in African countries it is00:14:51
limited, it is also not tens of00:14:53
thousands of people, that is, it is, well, no00:14:56
more than in Operation Barkhane, conditionally00:14:58
even less,00:14:59
there is political influence of Russians in00:15:02
Africa through some kind of military00:15:04
intelligence of the Ministry of Defense Well, through the same00:15:08
contracts for the export of weapons they are also00:15:10
exporters, they are competitors in this market,00:15:13
but in many things they are Russians. That is, this is00:15:17
part of a discursive war, as it seems to me,00:15:18
that is, they create a discourse00:15:20
that is after the fact, like that is, they00:15:23
construct history after the fact, that is,00:15:26
I’m not sure that I was sure then Well,00:15:29
now it’s like If only this had, in general, already00:15:31
been confirmed that no matter how the Russians00:15:33
participated in the military coup in00:15:35
Nigeria Yeah, that is, he knew. They did00:15:37
n’t know that he would happen. Most likely not. Few00:15:40
people assumed that this would happen,00:15:43
uh. Well, those who followed Africa could00:15:45
know that, for example, in Nigeria there is a00:15:47
conflict between the president there, this00:15:49
head of the presidential guard, well, it00:15:51
will come to a head. Well, this is such a00:15:53
classic story, there were no00:15:55
Wagnerites there at all, well, in Nigeria there00:15:57
were no Wagnerites at that time. Well, this is a00:15:59
country about the French00:16:01
administration, a coup is taking place in00:16:04
which, well, there are no Russians even close.00:16:07
It is clear that this is beneficial for Russia, that00:16:09
is, about the French administration,00:16:10
they removed the coup, it is anti-French,00:16:12
that is, the anti-smell00:16:13
character is cool and00:16:16
the construction of history begins, that is,00:16:17
after the fact they tell the story that00:16:19
in fact it is us, that is, as it were, that’s all00:16:23
of course00:16:24
why do they use lyu someone came out with a00:16:27
Russian Flam demonstration they took a picture of00:16:30
all this this is a pro-Russian protest that means they00:16:33
said something And I saw how00:16:35
this story developed with Well, as if00:16:38
in Nigeria there is still no one, well,00:16:42
unlike Burkina Faso and Mali in Nigeria is00:16:45
in power at least for now, but they have00:16:48
never signed any agreements00:16:50
with Russia on the deployment of mercenaries. And00:16:54
now they are called the African Corps,00:16:56
as they are, they are now00:16:57
restructuring them after the death of Zhin. That00:17:00
is, as if they are, they are They are simply00:17:02
appropriating this history speaking about the fact that00:17:04
it’s all of us, yes it’s us, it’s like this and we00:17:07
’ll do it like this further, you know,00:17:09
that is, how. That is, and ours for some reason,00:17:12
here we often become victims of the00:17:14
Russian information field because we00:17:16
repeat their history instead of00:17:19
instead of sorting it out and00:17:20
looking at something, that is, on the contrary, to say00:17:23
that no matter how Nunu Russia is not there and they00:17:27
are trying to somehow raise their role in the lawsuit,00:17:30
we contribute to this when00:17:33
we support all these theories that the ways of the00:17:35
omnipresent Putin, who, as it were,00:17:37
has launched his tentacles into every story00:17:39
because, again, we need to distinguish00:17:41
Burkina Faso Mali now there is a00:17:44
presence of the Wagner PMC there, it also happened after the fact,00:17:47
but it is now in00:17:49
Nigeria So far, no in Guinea, no there either, there is00:17:52
also a military coup took place in00:17:54
Gabon, where there was a coup in August00:17:56
last year immediately after Niger a00:17:57
month later there as the00:17:59
French administration remained there,00:18:01
that is, nothing changed there at all00:18:02
because the nature of the coup was different.00:18:04
That is, it was not anti-French in00:18:06
nature, it was of a different nature, but it00:18:07
was inside. Although I remember when it00:18:09
happened, Russian publics too00:18:12
they were advancing that Well, now00:18:13
now you see how they were under Domino Domino00:18:16
now went all over Africa then when00:18:18
it became clear that this was just a conflict00:18:20
within the Elite Well, inside the clan, that is,00:18:22
inside the ruling clan There just seemed to be a00:18:24
conflict, some00:18:26
changed others there but in fact, nothing00:18:28
has changed,00:18:29
they all fell silent, the topic of Gabon00:18:32
simply disappeared. That is, I. That’s why I00:18:35
say that I see pure00:18:37
manipulation here. Well, that is, a discursive00:18:39
war, they just take it, create00:18:41
a discourse quickly, what they succeeded in, you quickly00:18:43
create it and start pushing it00:18:45
uh, of course, it helps them that in all00:18:50
these countries there is strong sympathy for00:18:54
Russia as an alternative player Anti00:18:56
Well, that is, well, friend The enemy of my enemy is my00:18:59
friend, yes, that is, Russia is against France and00:19:01
we are against France Well, then Russia is a friend,00:19:04
they all don’t break the Africans a little00:19:05
they understand all this, that’s why, as it were, that’s all00:19:08
I see in this. And here they are00:19:10
starting to extol like Everything now,00:19:12
as it were, France in general, the whole process of the00:19:16
weakening of France in Africa. That is, this is00:19:19
reality. That is, this is a real process00:19:21
that is happening, but it is not happening.00:19:23
because of Russia That is, it started00:19:26
back in the late eighties00:19:29
when the colonial00:19:40
[music]00:19:57
post-conceptual group of people are00:20:01
such convinced sheets Well, like the supporters of00:20:03
de Gaulie, they are also called the barons00:20:05
of Gaullism, like they are such very00:20:07
influential people Well, I think such Henry00:20:08
Kissinger in short around around naked00:20:10
they were convinced00:20:14
nationalists and they created this00:20:17
system, but because they understood and this,00:20:19
by the way, was precisely the result of00:20:21
de Golem’s rethinking of African politics in general00:20:23
when they realized that the war in00:20:26
Algeria was lost.00:20:29
They rethought all this and realized00:20:31
that they had to let go we need to get rid of00:20:33
this empire because it was a yoke around the00:20:35
neck. Well, at the time it’s on the neck of France just00:20:39
like Britain. Britain came to the same00:20:41
conclusion that we need to let it all go00:20:43
because they don’t take money. There are no00:20:45
such people anymore And this all creates more problems00:20:47
than benefits and they00:20:49
let go the only difference between Britain and00:20:51
France was that,00:20:53
unlike Britain, they were more often able to leave without00:20:57
problems uh Well, with the exception of India uh and00:21:01
Palestine Uh, in many things they left00:21:04
as if normally Well, that is, they00:21:06
provided independence there somehow- that00:21:08
is, the procedure was organized00:21:09
more or less, and France more often left with00:21:13
problems, uh, but they were when, but in the00:21:16
fifty-ninth year, Charles De Gaulle00:21:18
launched this process, that is,00:21:19
decolonization in essence, that is, well,00:21:21
it’s clear that France itself essentially began to00:21:23
renounce its empire But in00:21:25
order to maintain influence on Africa,00:21:27
they created this system, as it were, in00:21:29
which it was no longer colonies, but00:21:32
what were the pillars of Franz Frick What was00:21:34
it the first French language Well,00:21:37
like a French-speaking environment Well, like our00:21:40
Russian-speaking post-Soviet space00:21:41
Yes, what remains is this Common00:21:43
Space, and they have French-speaking people who00:21:44
all speak French, the00:21:46
cultural penetration of Paris00:21:47
remained high, second, few of us00:21:51
know that they are all these former00:21:55
colonies, these are the same French-speaking00:21:59
former colonies of Spain, Belgium and France00:22:01
who speak in French,00:22:03
they tied their national currencies00:22:05
to the French franc. Uh-huh. Well,00:22:08
you just get attached,00:22:10
that is, they were all in the same00:22:13
currency zone, that is, everything was tied00:22:15
to the French franc, plus the personal00:22:19
connections that had been00:22:21
built for decades between the leaders. Eh, which00:22:25
then gave rise to the truth. Well, as you understand,00:22:27
this is already such a part00:22:29
of the deep state Yes, like where the00:22:31
elite connections are, there are almost family connections00:22:33
between the African and French00:22:35
elites, they were opaque, so00:22:38
all of this, of course, ultimately led to the fact00:22:39
that they were often there, this gave rise to00:22:41
corruption there and what Well, in short, I00:22:44
’ll tell you later, well, in general, yes, that is, it00:22:48
was a moment, that is, some kind of personal00:22:49
obligations on which everything was tied,00:22:53
French companies that00:22:55
remained and thanks to these connections00:22:57
received lucrative contracts for the extraction of00:22:59
minerals. Yeah on favorable00:23:02
conditions and at a favorable price and often00:23:04
military, well, not like a military00:23:07
presence or a non-military presence,00:23:10
but that is, France saw itself,00:23:12
continued to see itself as a guarantor of the00:23:13
security and stability of Africa, because of00:23:16
this, their policy was00:23:20
interventionist in the affairs of different countries00:23:22
so that there guarantee yes, that is,00:23:24
conditionally, security has been violated, in their00:23:26
opinion, they can carry out some kind of00:23:28
coup there, on average, from the sixties to the00:23:31
eighty-fifths, on average there was00:23:34
one such intervention per year. That00:23:37
is, they simply conditionally found00:23:39
or looked for or found a form of that00:23:42
How can you preserve the Empire without bearing full00:23:44
responsibility for the ongoing processes? Yes, interfere as much00:23:46
as possible,00:23:48
influence, and so on. Well,00:23:50
you know, this is manifested by a very typical00:23:52
De Gaulle shawl, this was manifested in his00:23:55
attitude towards the EU to the EU project, he was00:23:59
against it, he was against the European Union00:24:01
as a supranational organization, he didn’t00:24:04
want to give up sovereignty over a00:24:06
national body, but he supported the00:24:08
idea in general that the EU would be in the form of a kind of00:24:13
federal federative countries00:24:17
Relations between each other with the leading role of00:24:19
France Of course, listen, well, this is what you’re00:24:22
telling right now and this is different00:24:24
the look gives rise to France as a00:24:27
train setter of what00:24:30
Russia ultimately does because00:24:32
you’re telling me that it was also an00:24:34
empire, all empires, they and they all00:24:36
went the same way, that is, the00:24:38
French Empire, the British00:24:40
Russian Russian American proho Russian00:24:43
now here it is takes advantage of this,00:24:45
it turns out that you allowed yourself to do this00:24:48
and we will do it the same way, in general. This00:24:51
type of behavior is like an active position, but00:24:53
it’s very true. Well, yes, like, well, like,00:24:55
you’re allowing Russia there, as it were, to00:24:57
take part00:24:58
in the history of Kosovo or Iraq00:25:01
relative to the USA, there you allowed yourself00:25:03
this or that and we mean. Therefore, I say00:25:06
that these historical00:25:07
costs of this process that I00:25:09
just described, that is, the collapse of the00:25:11
French empire created by France Frick00:25:13
and now the partial collapse of France Frick,00:25:16
all this creates00:25:18
a favorable the soil for Russia to00:25:20
use this, that is, it helps to00:25:22
promote their narratives, everything. That is,00:25:25
if this had not happened, if, for example,00:25:27
France had developed different relations with00:25:29
Africa there, maybe the Russians would not have00:25:31
been able to play on this because there would00:25:33
be no anti-French sentiments, but00:25:35
there is an anti-French mood, that is,00:25:36
this is an objective reality, this is not an00:25:38
invention of the Russians, they are just, but another00:25:40
question is that it is necessary to distinguish, as it were, those00:25:42
processes that exist from the fact that Russia00:25:44
is trying from above, I’ll make up my mind Well, yes,00:25:46
because, well, they are really trying a lot of things,00:25:48
I say like with this hero It’s very funny for me00:25:49
to read that it turns out it was us,00:25:51
although they weren’t even close there, but00:25:53
when the conventional Putin says that00:25:57
like we stepped00:25:58
on the tail of macron in Africa, it’s specifically00:26:02
that then he conventionally means00:26:04
everything is completely invented or something- then something is that00:26:06
that they stepped on Well,00:26:09
well,00:26:11
almost half Well, not everything, but for example00:26:13
Well, I can say that Russia succeeded,00:26:17
as I said, in the00:26:19
formation of a primitive but accessible to00:26:22
all00:26:24
narrative that is perceived in Africa00:26:28
second Russia was able to organize quickly00:26:31
take advantage of the situation to partially00:26:33
fill the vacuum that00:26:35
France left in the form of mercenaries, that is, bring00:26:37
them there, agree to deploy them there, even00:26:39
get some contracts for00:26:42
mineral extraction Well, not in all countries, but that00:26:44
is, yes, they were able to do something, uh Well, that’s00:26:47
all Well, that is, partial success they00:26:49
had Of course, I’m not saying that there aren’t any00:26:50
of them there at all, well, no, but not everywhere,00:26:53
not everywhere and not as big as they are00:26:55
for themselves. And as I said, the00:26:58
first reason is not in Russia, that is, this is the00:27:01
Key one. That is, I’m not like it’s00:27:03
breaking this thesis is that it was not00:27:04
Russia that did all this, that is, they00:27:06
just sat on this stream00:27:08
conditionally and it’s just like this.00:27:10
Let’s start at this point, that00:27:13
is, they saw this point and00:27:14
just started clicking on it This is what they00:27:16
were able to do, but you also need to be able to00:27:18
do this Well, on time and as if in the way they00:27:20
do it, and samata is this sore00:27:23
point, it arose exclusively as a00:27:26
result of the evolution of French00:27:28
African relations That’s how it is, that00:27:31
is, in a sense, even me I would say,00:27:32
based on the results of the policies of Charles de Gaulle and his00:27:35
associates, the legacy is quite ancient, let’s00:27:37
say, not ancient, but about00:27:39
100 years, yes, yes, uh, let’s now00:27:42
touch upon the Strategy of the resource00:27:44
that France lost, that is, from an00:27:46
economic point of view, exclusively,00:27:49
yes, uh after all, a lot has been said about the fact that00:27:52
France has a strategic resource in00:27:54
Africa, uranium there, all these stories00:27:56
there, uranium00:27:59
mining, how important is what00:28:02
France lost and could not, as it were,00:28:03
protect by force, look what France00:28:06
lost, I will now open this link00:28:08
that I found before00:28:11
it means that this is exactly what they wrote about it, they wrote00:28:14
very good statistics about it,00:28:18
they cited statistics, then let’s00:28:19
take Niger. Well, the key00:28:23
story was When we have00:28:25
T, Niger is one of the00:28:28
five largest00:28:31
exporters of uranium to France. Uranium is needed00:28:34
for France to power its nuclear power plants, but00:28:38
Niger doesn’t the first is not the second or even the00:28:40
third position, that is, in general,00:28:42
I looked at the following statistics. That00:28:45
is, over the past 1000:28:47
years, France has mainly imported00:28:50
uranium from Kazakhstan, first place00:28:54
27%, second place Niger 20% and Uzbekistan00:28:59
19%, that is, Uzbekistan and Niger almost on00:29:01
one line plus one more, but it’s not indicated here, there00:29:03
are also Mongolia and Namibia, which also00:29:07
have Well, this one is kind of serious in00:29:11
general, if we take the world’s exporters of00:29:13
Uranium. That’s who, as it were,00:29:16
in the world, is the largest in the world, Niger - This is only 4% of00:29:19
production, that is, the most the big ones are00:29:21
Kazakhstan Canada Namibia and Australia Yeah, that00:29:25
is, in fact, France could have lost up00:29:29
to00:29:32
20%. This is a large percentage, but not critical,00:29:38
that is, look. Well, time has passed, the00:29:39
French AS have not stopped00:29:44
working, therefore, plus France00:29:46
has diversified imports in recent years00:29:48
Well, because they understand, they are not00:29:49
crazy to critically depend on one00:29:51
country in which there are problems with the00:29:53
perception of the French00:29:55
presence, which is why, in general, I would00:29:58
say they are more dependent00:30:01
on Kazakhstan now. Well, that is, Central00:30:02
Asia Plus Mongolia, which was not useful00:30:04
last year Macron went on an official00:30:06
visit at the presidential level with a00:30:08
delegation we also have, like, I remember00:30:11
they laughed there that some fool00:30:13
went to Mongolia, that we hear about Mongolia, yes, that00:30:15
is, So,00:30:17
well, look at what resources00:30:19
Mongolia has, as it were. By the way, let's get this00:30:21
link of obligation. To our video00:30:24
so that people who want to be good, it was just what is it00:30:27
called00:30:28
how much France is dependent on Nigers00:30:31
Uranus, it was written on August 7 immediately00:30:33
after the coup, like because it00:30:35
was a key topic, that is, it is for the00:30:38
last year for the summer of the past year, you can00:30:39
now look at the statistics there if00:30:41
you want. Well,00:30:42
that is, I think that Yes, this is00:30:46
unpleasant, but it seems to me that00:30:50
with France00:30:52
- it has lost more in00:30:55
terms of reputation, that is, than to say that there they00:30:57
have lost very serious resources because of00:30:59
which, for example, there jobs were filled up00:31:01
or I don’t know there, well, in short, well, I00:31:04
can’t say this, there’s no such thing,00:31:06
maybe this resource was extremely cheap for them,00:31:07
it was cheap, of course, that is,00:31:10
they lost, they lost lucrative00:31:12
contracts, I don’t know, I won’t tell you the numbers,00:31:14
it’s not clear, but it was It’s obvious that in this00:31:16
system in which Well, in the logic of the00:31:19
NFC system, it’s clear that it was Well, it’s more pleasant to00:31:23
extract a resource in a country there in which there is00:31:26
a lot of dependence on you, you can00:31:27
impose some things than, for example,00:31:29
buy there in Kazakhstan That is,00:31:31
probably yes then there are probably increased00:31:34
costs. Yeah, they have to00:31:37
reorient themselves to other countries00:31:39
there to make up for this 20% plus, in00:31:41
fact, it is still not completely clear whether the00:31:44
Nigerian authorities directly00:31:46
tore up all the contracts or that is, because this00:31:47
point is still unclear. That is, I do not00:31:49
rule out that France will return there,00:31:52
maybe they will re-negotiate the terms00:31:55
because well, the Niger authorities are00:31:57
interested in having00:31:58
companies work for them, they invest, it’s00:32:01
not like they’re crazy, but they’re just00:32:02
all there. Leave and that’s it, that is, they’ll00:32:05
bring someone there anyway. maybe the00:32:07
Russians it could be the Chinese maybe the00:32:09
French will come back uh and plus plus They00:32:13
lost this, well, a base, a French00:32:16
base, they had a base there of about a thousand00:32:19
troops Yes, they forced them all to00:32:21
leave So they didn’t want to for a long time, but they00:32:24
still left Well Even this, I would say, is00:32:27
probably strategically of greater00:32:29
importance because they have lost00:32:31
one of the entry points into the region, but for example they00:32:33
still have a base there in the same Gabon,00:32:35
not far from Niger, that is, I don’t know, then again00:32:38
they still have Chad in Chad, by the way also00:32:42
where the French elites are still in power,00:32:45
despite what happened00:32:48
recently, also in the same place. Recently there was00:32:50
a conflict that many called a00:32:53
coup attempt. I’m not sure that it was a00:32:56
coup attempt.00:32:58
There were also armored vehicles taken out into00:33:01
the street and this also started and again,00:33:03
Russian publics also began to disperse00:33:05
that here is another country, but00:33:08
nothing worked out there, in the end in Chad it all00:33:10
ended with the leader of the opposition00:33:13
party just having elections, soon he was00:33:16
killed by the headquarters of his party Well, the party00:33:19
itself was banned, the headquarters was demolished, they00:33:21
dispersed bulldozers, which many regarded00:33:23
as not a coup attempt, but on the contrary,00:33:24
an attempt by00:33:26
the authorities00:33:28
to suppress the opposition by force, and how, by the way,00:33:30
the opposition was more00:33:33
critical of France, which may00:33:36
indicate that it could be. This00:33:38
was just an attempt to prevent00:33:40
any problems.00:33:42
anti-French forces coming to power That is,00:33:46
what if France, for example, was involved in this in00:33:48
some way Well, here's a00:33:50
clear demonstration that they00:33:53
have some kind of influence Well, as it were Quite so That00:33:55
is, they still have00:33:58
allies in Africa That is I Well, cape00:34:02
coder Toga Benin Chad Gabon these are still the00:34:06
largest allies of Africa France in00:34:09
Africa Well, they have a base in Senegal,00:34:11
additionally Djibouti and chat yes yes, well, that00:34:15
is, there are entry points Yes, they lost00:34:17
one of them, well, it’s kind of unpleasant, but not00:34:20
critical Uh-huh Okay, let’s now00:34:25
sort things out a little with French00:34:26
society, and before the elections to00:34:30
the European Parliament, all these statements are like a00:34:32
macron Uh-huh, what did they do anyway, uh, which way the00:34:36
wind blows public opinion, you00:34:39
’re talking about the fact that they don’t directly support00:34:42
What data do you rely on? What do00:34:44
you know from Macron’s statement about00:34:47
sending troops sending troops Well,00:34:49
all this belligerent rhetoric00:34:51
aimed at leadership in the00:34:53
European Union is an opinion that after00:34:56
this Macron remains almost alone00:34:58
with Russia throughout Europe, but this00:35:01
is expressed within French00:35:03
society there by various00:35:05
leaders. Look at00:35:08
public opinion00:35:10
public opinion polls show00:35:12
that, as I already said, the French do00:35:14
not want to fight in Ukraine. That is, this is an00:35:16
unpopular idea, first and second, we00:35:20
saw from the reaction that all the opposition00:35:22
parties in France do not support this00:35:25
idea. Macron had a meeting with the leader of the00:35:28
parliamentary factions of the opposition,00:35:31
absolutely everything from from left to right they said00:35:33
no, that this is madness, someone said more softly,00:35:36
someone said Well, they said that no, we do not00:35:38
support any sending of00:35:41
troops from which I draw a conclusion, but00:35:43
nevertheless Macron continues to insist on00:35:45
his own from which I draw a kind of conclusion that00:35:47
he it is not based on the public, not on the00:35:49
request of society, not on someone’s request, not00:35:51
on some kind of national Solidarity. But00:35:53
on something00:35:54
else, I see in the statements a00:35:57
political game that is aimed at00:36:01
solving several00:36:03
problems, which means task number00:36:06
one. Well, I’ll start with just the tasks then I’ll also00:36:09
add a personal factor which I’m00:36:11
sure plays a role in this, which means task00:36:13
number one is to get the00:36:16
conversation about military support for Ukraine00:36:18
that has00:36:20
been stuck in the background off the ground. Well, sort of. Thus,00:36:24
he raises the bar as if to say that we00:36:26
can almost send troops there at least00:36:28
Well, in the context in00:36:31
which he spoke, it was about a00:36:34
limited contingent of instructors00:36:35
who could be sent to00:36:37
Ukraine and which, by the way, were not00:36:39
unprecedented; we had a NATO mission of a00:36:43
thousand people after the fourteenth year,00:36:45
which trained the Ukrainian military,00:36:47
which left in the second year after the start of the00:36:49
Russian invasion That is, this is not an00:36:51
unprecedented00:36:52
story. That is, this is the first task00:36:56
because, well, he sees that the issue is00:36:57
really00:36:59
stuck and something needs to be done, somehow, to00:37:02
move it somehow, we need to convince others so00:37:03
that they do not refuse to support00:37:07
Ukraine. And for this we need to raise it sharply00:37:09
bar so that later we can agree that, well,00:37:11
look, let's not send00:37:12
troops. Well, let's give missiles there or00:37:15
something else. I see this as a task, well,00:37:18
an attempt, at least the second task is to raise the00:37:22
Prestige of France against the backdrop of00:37:25
indecisive allies, that is, Germany00:37:28
now looks weak due to00:37:30
indecision on the issue of transferring00:37:32
the taurukh to us Yes, in the States there is still a problem with the00:37:35
aid package that is stalled in Congress,00:37:38
which means that in Britain now we have no time either.00:37:40
They have a00:37:42
monstrous electoral picture there00:37:45
for the Conservative Party, their rating there is already00:37:46
below 20% fell, that is, it’s00:37:49
bad there, they have internal politics there. So00:37:52
here France comes out with something like this,00:37:54
and we in general and we will make we have00:37:55
no doge of red lines at all, yes, that is, there00:37:57
should be no limits, as00:37:58
Emmanuel Macron said. This is a status story00:38:02
like would be purely to show that00:38:04
France can take on informal00:38:06
leadership in the Ukrainian direction, they have00:38:08
long wanted to do this And in this00:38:10
regard they compete with the00:38:11
others. The third task, I see in this an00:38:15
attempt by France to lead in general00:38:18
issues related to security and00:38:21
defense in Europe. This is a long history I am00:38:25
here, I believe that it is directly related00:38:27
to the00:38:28
dispute that exists between00:38:31
France and Germany now regarding the00:38:34
future of the security system in the EU and00:38:39
here again we must go back into history in the00:38:42
years of Charles de Gaulle because00:38:43
Emmanuel Macron is a00:38:47
staunch supporter of Charles de Gaulle de00:38:49
Gaulle, he also spoke about this, like00:38:51
many people, in fact, the shawl De Gaulle00:38:54
gave created a whole whole. Well, how is this00:38:57
political ideological direction,00:38:59
this is not an ideology,00:39:01
the direction of lism is not an ideology, this is00:39:03
more like you know, as a principle, a set of00:39:06
principles of such national00:39:08
patriotic ones that are all they are00:39:10
now trying to appropriate to themselves, well, as it were, here00:39:12
we are All of us, yes, we are behind this,00:39:13
well, which formed the basis of the Fifth00:39:15
Republic and the point is that00:39:20
their meaning of all this is that00:39:22
France should00:39:25
be a strong centralized00:39:28
self-sufficient state with its own00:39:31
external00:39:32
politics with their own with their own spheres of00:39:34
influence, only now they can’t be called in any other way,00:39:36
their sphere of influence, and of00:39:38
course with00:39:39
their seemingly realized ambitions,00:39:43
like well, in the form of European00:39:45
leadership at the same time. Well, Charles De00:39:47
Gaulle built such a00:39:49
state, I’ll remind you00:39:52
what, how is it not just he, well, it’s00:39:56
not just that’s what he wrote. There he did00:39:59
specific actions in the sixty year, not00:40:03
from sixty pgo to 6 seventh, in fact, in00:40:06
200:40:07
years he brought it out. So the first thing he00:40:11
did was he00:40:13
brought out the French fleet Well different00:40:16
Flotillas from the NATO command structures00:40:20
He practically withdrew France from00:40:22
NATO in this year, then it was00:40:26
under him that the French nuclear program was created,00:40:28
they received their own nuclear weapons00:40:31
It was also like the third, but few00:40:34
people know that since the end of the Second00:40:37
world on the territory of France00:40:38
there were foreign military bases uh00:40:42
and he withdrew them all he forced them all to00:40:44
leave including the Americans00:40:47
uh That is, until00:40:49
the year sixty-seven, everyone left from there and transferred00:40:51
control of the air base to the French00:40:53
actually00:40:54
and That is, he was00:40:58
he was00:40:59
convinced of the idea that France should not00:41:02
depend on anyone, and by the way, it was very00:41:05
noteworthy that during the years he was an00:41:08
opponent of the00:41:12
Soviet-American bipolar system because they say00:41:15
France is lost, like it turns out France00:41:18
should, as it were, put it in a choice of you, how00:41:21
would you go to this bloc or to the Americans?00:41:23
he didn’t like it, he believed that00:41:25
France in general should00:41:27
form its own separate pole of influence00:41:30
in the world and Yes, he seemed to more often support00:41:34
Western policy there against the Soviet00:41:36
Union, but in many, well, not in all,00:41:39
not in all aspects, and I’m saying He was00:41:41
very well, no matter how much he didn’t like this00:41:43
idea Emmanuel Macron also00:41:56
sovereignty Since then Since00:41:58
Charles De Gaulle resigned under00:41:59
pressure from society there because of the protest in00:42:01
1969, his policy was00:42:04
continued uh but since then it has changed has not00:42:07
changed a few things fundamentally00:42:08
uh France has lost this, its00:42:11
kind of exclusive influence due to,00:42:13
firstly, the collapse of its empire00:42:16
uh Well, that is, in essence, the narrowing of France to the00:42:19
European theater, and secondly, due to00:42:22
integration into the EU, well, integration into the EU00:42:25
has washed away This is how If00:42:26
only we were a European00:42:28
family, we should be there, well, in short, what00:42:30
happened with Britain, essentially, and now00:42:35
this is France’s attempt to lead00:42:37
Europe, it is expressed in disputes over a00:42:41
unified security and defense policy,00:42:43
which still doesn’t exist in the EU, they don’t have00:42:45
unity. They have, as it were, they still have it.00:42:47
Now maybe By the way,00:42:49
by the end of the year they00:42:51
will finally decide to appoint a European Commissioner for00:42:53
Defense Yeah, uh, they have00:42:56
Josep Burel, who became the High00:42:59
Representative for Foreign Policy And this is a00:43:01
relatively recent thing the decision was in00:43:02
2009, just when they tried00:43:05
to create a unified foreign policy, they00:43:07
really didn’t succeed, it’s still00:43:08
different now. As we see, there is no00:43:10
unified policy. Well, there is a storm, but it’s like00:43:12
another European one has appeared. Yes,00:43:15
they want to do the same thing. That is00:43:17
this is a question, that is, the first dispute is a00:43:18
dispute about integration about further00:43:20
integration of the EU in the field of defense and00:43:22
security, and here there is a conflict00:43:25
between two fundamentally different ideas00:43:28
Germany has come and is promoting they believe00:43:31
that the US security umbrella is needed and it is necessary to00:43:35
create a defense system for Europe together00:43:38
with the states including the00:43:40
EU missile defense system Yeah, the French00:43:42
think that no, they are promoting the idea of00:43:45
buy European that we don’t need00:43:48
states Let’s produce for ourselves and00:43:50
produce for ourselves Well, we don’t need00:43:52
dependence on the Americans, we’ll00:43:54
create our own security umbrella00:43:57
And so I think they can do this to be connected by00:43:59
these statements, this game of macron, that00:44:01
is, in contrast to Germany, that they say we00:44:04
will take leadership and we will00:44:05
try to push through this story,00:44:08
we can independently conduct it, that is,00:44:11
we do not need to look at00:44:12
Washington’s position there, how it does it, how it does it00:44:14
it seems Berlin Well, sometimes he does. That’s why00:44:18
this is like the second moment and00:44:20
there is also a personal thing, a purely personal00:44:22
thing inherent in Emanuele Macron. It’s just00:44:25
not the first time I’ve seen this. When Well, it00:44:28
seems to me that he is inclined to make loud00:44:31
statements as they00:44:34
should Well, demonstrate Here this00:44:37
Greatness, as it were, of Paris, there is00:44:40
still gunpowder, so to speak, and everything else,00:44:42
this is not the first time, uh, he’s he,00:44:46
it seems to me that this is his, this is a trait of him00:44:48
personally Well, as a leader, he’s just he, he’s00:44:51
quite an ambitious politician,00:44:54
uh, I read different uh Well, I read different00:44:58
articles somewhere they criticize him for his00:45:01
arrogance uh for tyranny somewhere they00:45:04
say that he is but but everyone agrees on00:45:06
one thing, both critics and supporters that he is00:45:09
very he is super ambitious and he00:45:13
wants to be like this he wants to bring00:45:16
France closer to be the leader of France, as it00:45:19
was before, that is, ah, Glory to00:45:21
Charles de Gaulle, his kind of followers, so00:45:25
he wants it to be like this, and I00:45:27
think for these. This can also influence00:45:29
his personal communication when he00:45:32
what something he says provokes there, well,00:45:35
such things provoke discussions in their00:45:37
time, he’s the author of the immortal phrase00:45:41
NATO has brain death Yeah, you remember that, uh-huh00:45:45
When it was before the war, it was in the00:45:47
first two decades or twenties,00:45:49
in my opinion Well, when too he00:45:51
said this and everyone started hating him for00:45:53
how it was criticism of NATO and so on, and00:45:56
he then France, at the same time, also00:45:59
promoted the Armed Forces in00:46:01
opposition to NATO, as it were, or him. I00:46:04
remember when he was after the explosion in the port of00:46:06
Beirut in In August of 1920, he00:46:10
personally undertook to oversee the issue of00:46:13
stabilizing Lebanon, he came there three00:46:15
times and tried to put together a new00:46:19
government there, that is, to directly influence00:46:21
there, somehow he didn’t succeed.00:46:23
But then he also made a lot of noise with00:46:25
his statements, which is the attention00:46:27
he paid attention to this issue and how he00:46:29
stood out among all the others. That is,00:46:31
everyone else seemed to00:46:33
do nothing and only France did everything.00:46:35
I think here it’s about the same00:46:37
story, uh, there’s another factor. It00:46:40
seems to me that he Well, probably he plays a role00:46:43
Although many simply they're talking about it, but I'm00:46:45
not sure how important it is. These are the elections00:46:47
to the European Parliament, which is kind of like, well, macron00:46:50
is playing on in the elections, but I'm not00:46:52
sure about that. Well, that is, I think that00:46:54
maybe there I'm not sure that it's00:46:55
purely electoral logic right here because that,00:46:57
firstly, the elections in the European Parliament are not00:46:58
as important for him as the elections in00:47:00
France, and secondly,00:47:02
Uh, this is not the message with which to00:47:05
go to the elections Well, because people are not00:47:07
very good at scaring people with war by participating in a00:47:09
war before the elections where the issue of Ukraine00:47:13
is. Well like, so how can we00:47:17
do it so that we spend less on00:47:18
Ukraine, better spend more on ourselves, I don’t know. That00:47:21
is, it seems to me that this argument is00:47:23
also in the Western press, but I think00:47:26
that after all,00:47:27
I’m betting that this is all connected with the00:47:29
Personality of Macron laurels of Charles de Gaulle00:47:32
and this story with Germany,00:47:34
competition for00:47:37
the future of security and defense policy00:47:39
Uh-huh00:47:40
And look, an important question seems to me to be00:47:44
these European ambitions of Macron00:47:46
regarding a unified army. He was not so00:47:49
wrong about the brain death of00:47:52
NATO when he made these statements. This it00:47:55
was during Trump's presidency of the00:47:57
United States and there he had, as it were, grounds00:48:00
since Trump's second statement today. I00:48:04
mean the current Yes, current00:48:06
statements of Trump this year that have already00:48:08
been made regarding the security of Europe.00:48:11
Well, in principle, they don’t leave00:48:14
much to the European countries and00:48:16
options Because they need to think about their00:48:18
own security00:48:20
without the presence of the US because00:48:23
the presence of the US Well is no longer the00:48:25
subject of at least bipartisan00:48:27
support or bipartisan issues in the00:48:30
States themselves so this is an open risk00:48:32
it is definitely not zero risk yes, that is, it is a00:48:35
very high risk what seems to be a00:48:37
significant risk Moreover, everyone00:48:39
understands after Trump’s first term What to00:48:42
expect already, and there Macron has already stated all00:48:45
these things, so let’s00:48:56
always be, yes, look, I’m sure that the00:48:59
state elections, the elections in the States are directly00:49:01
related to all of this, Why have00:49:03
these processes accelerated and these statements, uh, they00:49:05
are preparing for the fact that if Trump suddenly comes00:49:08
back, then they should be ready for00:49:10
uh, everything, including the fact that00:49:13
Trump, well, if he doesn’t leave NATO, which is00:49:16
unlikely, but he simply won’t pay attention to it.00:49:18
before, that is, and00:49:20
this is Well, first of all, it’s logical to00:49:22
prepare for any scenario. It would be00:49:25
strange to just sit and like Yes,00:49:27
it’s not clear what, plus now, in fact, this is the00:49:30
shadow of Trump, it creates00:49:33
very good ground for macron to again00:49:36
promote these ideas Well, the war in00:49:39
Ukraine and the shadow of Trump, these are the two two00:49:41
things that are the arguments that he00:49:43
uses to say,00:49:45
look, we must, we Well, we00:49:48
must pull ourselves together and be00:49:51
self-sufficient in ensuring our00:49:53
strategic security so that it00:49:55
is not critical from the sea. he sees00:49:58
it so that Europe should increase the00:50:01
production of weapons on its00:50:02
territory for its needs,00:50:06
where possible, to get rid of00:50:07
dependence on the States from American00:50:10
manufacturers, he believes that it is necessary to00:50:13
build more military-industrial complex enterprises00:50:18
on the territory of the European Union, as it were,00:50:21
he advocates that in The European00:50:23
Union had a single, well, more or less skordi00:50:27
policy in the field of security and00:50:28
defense of which. While there is no need for this, it is00:50:30
necessary to appoint a European Commissioner, well, this is the00:50:32
High Representative for00:50:34
Defense, or come up with some other00:50:36
format, of course. It would be desirable for France to00:50:38
be a leader there, for example, so that a quota00:50:40
for00:50:43
I don’t know about this representative for France, for example, or Well,00:50:46
somehow the00:50:48
creation should ideally lead to Well,00:50:51
if we are already moving towards EU integration, that is,00:50:53
precisely towards integration,00:50:55
expansion of a single European army, that00:50:58
is, an EU army, he was criticized for the fact that00:51:01
Well, some opponents of this idea00:51:03
believe that this is supposedly a duplication of00:51:05
NATO functions. Why do we need a European army00:51:07
if there is NATO, but he considers this an00:51:09
American project, but we need a purely00:51:11
European one where there will be no Americans,00:51:13
again. This is not his idea. This is the idea of Charles00:51:15
de Gaulle, which he is now reproducing00:51:17
and he believes in it. Apparently, this is how it00:51:19
should be, that is, well, this is what it’s00:51:22
all called, all00:51:25
this and much more, he puts it into the00:51:29
concept of strategic autonomy of00:51:31
Europe. This is the idea that France00:51:33
most actively promotes, that is,00:51:35
they consider the autonomy of Europe what is necessary for Europe to00:51:38
be, I say, a separate pole of00:51:40
influence separate from Russia, China, the United States,00:51:44
including, that is, yes, this is the West, but we00:51:48
must, as it were, well, these are00:51:50
approximately his arguments for us, I00:51:53
will say that it is beneficial, that is, it benefits us00:51:56
so that Europe became stronger Well,00:51:59
subjectively independent yes That is, how00:52:00
paradoxical it is because00:52:02
many can say there In the sense that it is00:52:04
beneficial for us that Europe gets untied00:52:10
[music]00:52:25
they don’t change often, that is, I do00:52:28
n’t know, for example, We can00:52:29
predict there that Trump will come What00:52:31
if he selects a team00:52:34
for which it will be that the00:52:35
idea is to fix China and not Russia Well, that00:52:39
could be Well, people will come who are there00:52:41
for them, for example, Russia will be the lesser00:52:42
evil and they will say listen We need00:52:44
China Let's work with Russia quickly00:52:45
Let's agree, let's close this issue and let's go,00:52:47
as it were, to restrain China. Well, this is00:52:50
quite real, this is a very real00:52:53
scenario, and in such a scenario, of course, well,00:52:55
as it were. We see that the states can00:53:00
stop paying attention to the00:53:03
European direction a little, in this regard, it is00:53:05
beneficial for us to have the strategic autonomy of the00:53:07
EU took place, especially since we are going there. Yes,00:53:10
we are going to a strong EU. We don’t need00:53:12
a lax, disorganized EU00:53:14
that cannot coordinate its00:53:16
security policy, which00:53:18
is a priority for us now.00:53:20
Otherwise, why are we going there to00:53:23
increase quotas for trade? Well, this is00:53:26
very funny, well, I’m right. Well, that00:53:28
is, I just understand that if we already have to00:53:30
go solve some strategic00:53:31
task of unity for the world, it’s 100%00:53:35
for Europe, so 100% it was solved for them in00:53:38
principle without us and they would like it00:53:42
without us, decide to continue as if00:53:43
a little better all the time, that’s why00:53:46
everything we can do there is definitely00:53:49
not about00:53:50
grain. Yes, an important question, I’m trying to00:53:53
figure it out. Maybe you ask me more. But00:53:57
still, it’s said that the00:53:59
French military-industrial complex is00:54:02
large-scale he produces a lot He has00:54:05
great ambitions related to00:54:08
competition in all markets, as it were, where00:54:11
he sells his00:54:13
products, he is quite influential, this00:54:16
military-industrial complex on the French processes What they say is he is00:54:19
represented in various00:54:22
political forces and so on, but at the same00:54:23
time all these political forces th Anti00:54:27
are anti-00:54:30
macron of sending troops and so on Although00:54:33
the military-industrial complex is profitable until now it is profitable but00:54:36
politically No, you understand that00:54:38
politicians They don’t think only in terms of the00:54:39
interests of the military-industrial complex Okay But this is00:54:42
the key The key industry00:54:44
regarding threats and relate, well, it is00:54:49
so it’s clear that they can think00:54:50
differently. Let’s try to take out this wrong side of00:54:54
how they all think, what happens is that00:54:57
the military-industrial complex is beneficial to the military-industrial complex, which is very00:55:04
influential from this idea of the militarization of00:55:07
France and macron’s belligerence, look00:55:10
here we need to separate it very well, like the00:55:15
first. This is how you and we00:55:17
exist myth, look, we have a00:55:19
myth that is connected with the fact that the military-industrial complex in general is00:55:23
like a group of00:55:24
military-industrial complex gunsmiths, as we sometimes00:55:26
call them especially in the context of the States, that00:55:30
this is like a group of the Illuminati00:55:32
who, behind the scenes, manage everyone.00:55:35
That is, their opinion is always taken into account with their opinion.00:55:38
I say No, this is not so because,00:55:41
well, yes, their opinion is taken into account00:55:44
because these are large companies that00:55:47
give money to the budget to the treasury, especially00:55:49
when you have weapons, this is one of the00:55:52
key export items, it’s clear, but here,00:55:56
well, we would ignore the fact that00:55:59
politicians They are they think not only00:56:02
in terms of the interests of individual00:56:04
companies or large corporations. If00:56:05
this were the case, if France00:56:08
paid attention.00:56:10
They00:56:11
would have provoked wars everywhere long ago, just to00:56:13
export weapons there; they do00:56:15
n’t do that, plus there are different00:56:19
options. How to make money from the00:56:21
production of weapons for this it is not00:56:22
necessary to start world wars there are00:56:26
French companies French00:56:27
companies grew up there not so much on00:56:29
warriors but precisely on the fact that they have a00:56:31
lot of clients in Europe, that is, they00:56:34
service rearmament Well,00:56:37
including the rearmament process, now00:56:39
they are making money billions of dollars Well, not00:56:42
in the war in Ukraine, come on, nothing is00:56:43
working out since the war in Ukraine Well, it’s00:56:45
all like they have them if00:56:47
the Government compensates them, that’s cool, but in general they do00:56:49
n’t produce much for us now, that00:56:51
is, they are now giving them orders for that00:56:53
for example, to compensate for losses00:56:55
or to00:56:57
re-equip the European armies that00:56:58
gave us the old ones, but in general their main00:57:01
clientele is now in the Middle East.00:57:03
Why Because Saudi Arabia, the00:57:06
Emirates of Bahrain, Qatar, they have00:57:09
money, they can afford to throw away00:57:12
billions of dollars on a purchase. I don’t know how to00:57:14
take it. buy 40 helicopters just, well, you00:57:17
know, we can’t afford it, they00:57:19
can afford it, they can afford it, and00:57:22
they get it because they win it from00:57:25
them, as if they want it, well, that is, that’s how it is, as if this is the00:57:30
situation now That’s it yes, they can00:57:32
earn money from this politicians. They00:57:34
think, including relying on00:57:37
public opinion, because the main00:57:39
interest of a politician is not to please00:57:40
some company. Well, not always, at00:57:42
least, but to re-elect to retain00:57:46
power. And this is not always achieved by00:57:48
being there you will do a favor for some00:57:50
company to promote some issue. Yes,00:57:52
it is clear that lobbying always exists00:57:55
in politics, for example, we have00:57:58
oligarchs, for example, in our case it00:58:00
resulted in the form of an oligarchy, which00:58:01
actually ruled the country; France also00:58:04
has its own oligarchs. Yes, there they influence00:58:06
political Well, on individual00:58:09
politicians being very rich people00:58:11
Well, it’s understandable because00:58:13
they give you the opportunity to kind of influence00:58:15
in the States, the same thing, but it’s not always straight,00:58:18
they don’t always dominate all00:58:20
decisions,00:58:21
so I think the00:58:25
idea itself is European, buy it of course,00:58:28
it is beneficial to French00:58:30
arms manufacturers because they will receive the00:58:32
most orders. Well, they are one of those who00:58:34
will receive the most orders, and00:58:37
uh, but in this regard, they are competitors with the00:58:40
Americans, that’s a plus. You have to understand00:58:43
that some production facilities are00:58:45
scattered uh between states France00:58:48
Germany that is, several countries are00:58:50
involved there in assembling some kind of00:58:52
weapons systems uh Well, how to00:58:55
separate them is quite problematic, that’s why00:58:57
Well, I think that in00:59:00
general the history of the strategic00:59:02
autonomy of Europe, that is, the construction of a00:59:04
European army Yes, it is almost profitable00:59:07
for all arms companies, why not,00:59:09
that is, they will simply get more00:59:11
opportunities, more orders That is,00:59:14
well, as if I don’t know, I don’t know, it’s difficult for me to00:59:17
assess To what extent they are directly00:59:19
in charge of this issue, but uh Probably they00:59:23
Well, they would support it Well, that’s logical00:59:25
support00:59:26
rather Yeah Well, at least in00:59:29
France the politicians are clear, but well, here00:59:32
I’m saying there’s even a difference. Yes, there is an00:59:34
interest of purely arms companies. And there is00:59:36
public opinion that is against the00:59:38
direct involvement of France in the war and that’s all.00:59:41
Well, here, as it were, politicians would rather be in favor of the00:59:43
latter pay attention because they00:59:45
understand that Well, well, well, well, how would I00:59:50
do something there I don’t know We00:59:53
will participate in the war if only these00:59:54
are00:59:56
satisfied, but at the same time Tomorrow we will be00:59:58
demolished The population will not vote for us01:00:00
We will simply lose power and all these01:00:02
agreements will simply disappear.01:00:04
Therefore, yes. Therefore, people Yes, political01:00:08
parties are against direct involvement in01:00:10
the war because of the risks due to people’s rejection,01:00:14
but at the same time, I’m almost sure that in general the01:00:17
very idea of rearmament of France and the whole of01:00:19
Europe to strengthen security,01:00:21
of course, is found here there is a consensus01:00:24
of everyone That’s why I think Maron began01:00:27
to back down a little Here’s01:00:28
his next statement, he says, well, as if I01:00:30
wouldn’t initiate this, he somehow01:00:33
said that I, that is, he, he already started, his01:00:35
representatives began to talk a little about01:00:37
what Well, it’s clear that we’re not talking about01:00:39
involving France in the war,01:00:40
but about training and training of Ukrainian troops,01:00:43
well, that’s another question here, as01:00:45
if here, in principle, people shouldn’t01:00:48
be particularly01:00:49
against it because this is not a direct01:00:51
involvement of01:00:54
China in the war, say a little - a little in the entire01:00:58
French history because, well,01:01:00
because firstly, immediately after this01:01:03
strong position of the macron flies to China Oh01:01:06
flies to France in01:01:07
Paris Sin The leader of China flies to Paris to the01:01:10
leader macron the leader of the European Union macron01:01:14
Yes, who suddenly, as they say, macron01:01:17
Became a macron 2 :0 here01:01:19
comes the question: What could China want in this01:01:23
story01:01:24
and can, relatively speaking, tear01:01:28
France away from these01:01:30
plans? I’ve heard this opinion,01:01:34
it’s probably very popular that China and the USA are01:01:36
waging a proxy war. And in this case,01:01:40
Russia is01:01:42
China’s proxy which rams, relatively01:01:45
speaking, the European Union and Ukraine as if01:01:48
as a proxy from the United01:01:51
States, the question is: Where in this simple01:01:54
coordinate system of France,01:01:56
how does it see itself in this story, does01:01:59
France want to be a proxy of the United States in this case?01:02:02
Clearly, no. How01:02:06
would France behave in such a strange way in01:02:09
such a situation? kneading And what can01:02:11
the French, like Germany, count on in your opinion?01:02:13
They have been advocating for many years to01:02:16
develop their relations with China01:02:19
as01:02:21
less confrontational than the United States from the European Union, that01:02:25
is, they advocated that China is a01:02:29
strategic trade and economic01:02:31
partner with which it is necessary to conduct business,01:02:35
which is necessary and Yes, it’s01:02:38
politically there. It’s a different system, a different01:02:41
society, but ok,01:02:43
uh, that is, they01:02:46
initially didn’t really want to actively restrain China in Europe01:02:49
because, again, for them, like Russia, there01:02:50
was an approach that was very similar to01:02:52
Russia, that it’s like, well, like resources,01:02:55
it’s a market, and so on, we01:02:58
need it now, in principle, the situation has01:03:01
changed little. The only thing is01:03:03
that it’s01:03:05
beneficial for France to speak on behalf of Europe with01:03:09
China, Macron believes that he is the same,01:03:14
as if he has the will and01:03:19
has01:03:21
the opportunity to be the main communicator01:03:23
with China from the EU because he has the01:03:26
best relationship with Xi Jin Ping Uh-huh Well,01:03:29
as he thinks, last year he was01:03:32
received very well in Beijing, really very01:03:35
well there is a red carpet and there, well, that01:03:38
is, there is a full program for him01:03:39
they paid full attention,01:03:41
very much, there was a big contrast with01:03:43
Ursula NY, who also came there01:03:45
right away, they didn’t pay attention to her, that01:03:48
is, the Chinese made it clear that they01:03:50
understood this, they heard these signals and01:03:52
how did he start relations with01:03:56
Macron and France separately, to have01:03:59
Well, not an ally, because well,01:04:01
they will never become allies, but an understanding01:04:04
partner, that is, with whom you can01:04:06
talk more Pragmatically, so that the01:04:10
Europeans there do not touch China too much;01:04:12
Chinese interests do not impose sanctions01:04:14
against Chinese01:04:16
companies; and China believes that01:04:19
it is possible to communicate through France with Europe01:04:21
regarding a possible restart of the01:04:23
negotiation process on Ukraine Niva01:04:26
Well, this is the Chinese, let’s01:04:28
start the negotiations, freeze and that’s it,01:04:33
the Chinese Well, they work through Europe01:04:35
Because they won’t agree with the states01:04:37
And everyone already01:04:39
understands all this, plus in the States elections make sense01:04:43
Now it’s like there’s some kind of demand from01:04:45
the States to come to any01:04:47
agreements, because it’s not clear01:04:48
what will happen in November, but with Europe it’s possible,01:04:51
plus the Chinese know that the Europeans01:04:53
take a slightly different position on the war,01:04:56
that is, they are more cautious01:04:59
Well, France, too, is ready01:05:02
to consider the01:05:03
option of negotiations. What Macron also01:05:06
said. This is what he gave to ours in an interview01:05:09
where he said that if Putin calls,01:05:12
of course I’ll pick up the phone, listen to his01:05:14
proposal and see. Well, that is, as if01:05:15
in spite of everything, he left here01:05:18
these doors are open, what if something happens,01:05:20
I’m ready to engage in diplomacy And I think01:05:23
that the Chinese will talk with01:05:25
France So let’s say,01:05:27
Maybe you will influence your01:05:29
European colleagues to persuade them01:05:32
to the need to restart the01:05:34
negotiation process on Ukraine and then01:05:37
China will participate in this01:05:39
Because right now the issue of01:05:40
organizing this peace summit in01:05:42
Switzerland is still being decided, which we want to organize01:05:44
and invite China there and the Chinese have already01:05:47
given a signal that they seem to be able to01:05:49
take part in it at the level of leaders;01:05:51
this is where to gather the heads of state That01:05:53
is, Sedin Pin can go like this.01:05:56
In this regard, China sees01:05:58
France as a situational partner in Europe01:06:01
who is ready to listen to them and is ready for a01:06:03
constructive partnership, unlike01:06:05
Germany, which they now consider01:06:08
too much of a country that has made too01:06:10
much of a tilt towards the States, well, with01:06:12
Britain is all the more clear that01:06:14
China has a complicated relationship with Britain Uh-huh, is this01:06:18
all or can China set itself other01:06:22
more ambitious goals, such as completely01:06:26
changing the position of France with some01:06:29
goodies? Well, ideally, ideally Yes, in an01:06:32
ideal picture of the world, from the point of view of01:06:34
Chinese interests this is generally to tear01:06:36
Europe away from the States. Uh-huh, that is, in this01:06:40
regard, China should support the idea of01:06:43
strategic autonomy of France01:06:45
because, as if in their logic, if Europe is01:06:50
independent and does not depend so much01:06:53
on the States, they can do business with it, that is,01:06:56
here China solves two problems For01:06:58
themselves, the first task is to build their01:07:00
relations with Europe without regard to the states.01:07:02
Uh-huh, that is, more pragmatic and more01:07:05
Business As usual. Well, that is, they are not such01:07:08
ideologists as they think the01:07:10
Americans are and the second task is01:07:13
to break up this anti-Thai01:07:15
potential coalition then there is, well,01:07:17
because the Chinese believe that if Europe and01:07:18
the states are not so strongly integrated,01:07:20
then it will be more difficult for the United States to01:07:23
convince the Europeans, for example,01:07:24
to join the Anti-Chinese sanctions.01:07:26
Uh-huh, and this means that China, well, against01:07:30
China, there will not be a united front of01:07:32
sanctions from the entire Western world. there01:07:33
will always be some kind of entry points01:07:35
France, I don’t know there, Portugal,01:07:37
some other country due to the fact that Europe01:07:40
will be like01:07:43
self-sufficiency, the Chinese believe that01:07:45
in principle it’s probably somewhere, so01:07:48
the less Europe depends on the01:07:50
States, the more there will be01:07:52
space for her to formulate her own policy in01:07:54
relation to which, perhaps, it will not be01:07:56
so confrontational, that is, this is01:07:59
such a strategic01:08:00
ideal picture that they see, as it01:08:03
seems to me, this is how it should be01:08:04
beneficial in this regard, what01:08:07
macron is promoting in terms of strategic autonomy is, that01:08:09
is, geopolitical it suits01:08:12
China, it is clear that the rearmament of Europe01:08:15
there is against Russia. Well, somewhere it may01:08:18
attack the interests of the Chinese in the01:08:20
sense that the West is becoming stronger,01:08:22
but it seems to me that the geostrategic01:08:24
calculation is more profitable. Well, in the long01:08:27
term, Europe is more independent01:08:29
with it. It’s easier to come to an agreement than Europe under the01:08:33
states which there will be looking back01:08:35
at their position on China all the time Well, that’s how01:08:41
Ilya has it Thank you for nothing, it seems to me that01:08:45
we made such a cool broadcast together01:08:48
cool content I will have all the questions about France01:08:52
that were relevant at least01:08:54
at the moment we talked01:08:57
more broadcasts on this issue Well, I01:09:01
think that we need to take a closer look at France01:09:03
as seriously as possible. And there, it01:09:06
turns out that the key country is becoming a01:09:09
point of view. Well, as if with the01:09:10
actualization of what is01:09:12
happening there, that’s very important for us,01:09:15
so we look at France next.01:09:18
Thank you for your answers, subscribe to01:09:22
polylab subscribe to amedia Yes, this01:09:25
broadcast will be Well, yes, when01:09:29
will it be forgot that we are not live, not live,01:09:30
we are not live,01:09:32
so When will it be then01:09:34
will be today will be today yes yes yes yes that's it01:09:37
that everyone have a quiet night, let01:09:43
nothing bad touch anyone01:09:49

A camera icon should appear in the lower right corner of the player to the left of the "Settings" icon. When you click on it, the current frame from the video will be saved to your computer in JPEG format.
