⚡️🇫🇷 President Macron:

“The paradox would be that, overcome with panic, we believe we are just America’s followers. The question Europeans need to answer… is it in our interest to accelerate a crisis on Taiwan? No...

If the tensions between the two superpowers heat up… we won’t have the time nor the resources to finance our strategic autonomy and we will become vassals."

“The great risk" Europe faces is that it “gets caught up in crises that are not ours, which prevents it from building its strategic autonomy."

Per Politico, he also suggested Europe should reduce its dependence on the “extraterritoriality of the U.S. dollar."

The scientist emphasized that few countries produce engines for fighter jets, because for this you need to be able to produce ultra high quality alloys.
