Nordstream 2 explosion is a humiliation to Europe. Europe knew heâs humiliated by his allies yet dared not to face it.
Nordstream 1 was included in the package, not just NS2. I believe that it's a slow fuse bomb. This will change everything and spells the end of the US as a dominating power.
Didn't you get the memo? A pro Ukraine activism group blew it up!
@@dh88k , what has this to do with the US, they will infact sell more gas to Europe now when Europe has decided to stop importing energy from Russia.
A silly comment.
I think Europeans did it, but I don't know which country
Some people will see him as anti USA but what he's saying is true. You can't over depend on someone else whether ally or not.
Europe has over depended on the US for defence because it Europe doesnât want to pay for its own defence. The US has been trying to get Europe to pay for its defence for years, but Europe prefers to spend their taxes on nice things like healthcare, schools and roads
Especially when the saying goes "To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal."
@@oldskoolrools1353exactly
This is what Americans want. Everyone stop depending on us please lol
@@oldskoolrools1353??
France should feel proud !!!
French always proud, whether they like Macron or not.
No we're absolutely not.
We are prouder without Macron. He is no longer needed in France !
No realy not
This is what I always believe France do the best way, still wait to see Germany. All people in the world need peace, not war.
Don't get your hopes up for a colony like Germany
D'accordđ
It is just mind-boggling to hear a European leader reiterating the Independence of Europe where even teenage would know this basic concept. Will Europe have a better future when its destiny has been dictated by the US?
China will bankrupt Europe before the U.S. can seriously affect Europe.
"the Independence of Europe" please tell me more!.
So you want China to lead you instead, have fun.
Ok smart guy your a european? name all the euroâs
Finally Europe have someone coming to their senses i was thinking Europe donât have a leader lol đ
Indeed and I think Europe needs France a lot more than we need Britain.
He should lead the EU not Ursula vondeleyen.
They have Vonderlying.
Europe's leader is in Poland not France.
He doesn't speak for Europe. He tries, but he was not elected to.
Extreme individualism has destroyed democracy, democracy does not mean absolute freedom, it means liberty and responsibility.
I agree with you on this
How to balance between liberty and responsibility?
ââ @user-st3im5ge7f gives them democracy and with a high tax rate, late retirement plans bind low income to force them to work. like Japan, korean.
@@kioly_ah Japanese and Korean using chopsticks to eat is not like European using fork a knife to eat. How to compare between them? If you donât understand Japanese and KoreanâŠ.. youâŠ..
â@@user-st3im5ge7f it takes work to foster a democracy, hence why many prefer autocracy, they would rather not think or do not have the cultural heritage of collective strength of will
He can start by asking the investigation of Nordstream 2 explosion.
putin is blew up nordstream
then he will get assassinated.
Why would Macron or the French care about Nordstream 2 ?
@MĂĄrcio Borges Reis because they were owners of it. The French also paid a part of it. It was not only the Germans who benefited. Because you think it is normal to leave it like that, and not try to know who did it ?
@Frederik Pedersen since you're so sure, why not encourage investigation? Another accusation without any proof. Besides, it does not make any sense.
Good for Europe, good for France, for giving Europe a visionary who thinks long term & thinks about all of us. My Chancellor Scholz definitely missed his opportunity of being a true European leader
Sadly. I used to be a huge fan of Scholz, I thought he and Macron would create a new Europe but he has become a joke.
Merkel is much better.
You could already be proud as you once had Merkel, and Macron has to step up to the plate after she retired.
I am just wondering what happened to Macron after he met Xiping. đź A good change of course, if it is not just some play-acting.
@@bijoydas449 He was overwhelmed by the Chinese students. He really enjoyed being a super star among the students.
I like it people can challenge Macron. But he still remains calm. That is what democracy is. However, it is still good for Europe to decide their own future. Not depending on USA or China
It is only a democracy if the people get to decide their own fate. Democracy is just a word governments use to make people feel like they have a choice when they really don't.
You call Macron's China policy "not depending on China"? What a joke? He picked a side, which is China. How hard is it to see that?
@@leighwang9747 It means that you watched too much US news. He basically said that we mind our business first, not the Chinese or the Americans. He will protect their own interests in Europe and therefore he said the war waged by Russia is brutal. This is because this war is happening in Europe. However, he won't follow the American to fight a possible war in Taiwan with China. I really appreciate France, they didn't help the American to invade Iraq either.
@@TheDerangedBlood i meant marcon is just expressing his own opinion as French president. He will try to push this forward but at the end of course it is decided by the European people.
Yeah, the last time France decided to cozy up with a dictator it was capitulation and collaborationâŠ.until the USA came and saved them. Genius
I didn't know the president of France could speak very well in English. His approach to a better Europe based on his 5 pillars are very profound.
I don't know why he chose to speak in English in the Netherlands. Do most of the Dutch understand English?
@@eugenec7130 Yes they do.
ââ@@eugenec7130 these are educated people, the chances of them knowing English is definately higher than knowing French.
â@@eugenec7130 Yes. I once lived in the Netherlands and didn't meet anyone who doesn't understand English.
â@@eugenec7130.. Good point. He perhaps wanted to make his speech global, particularly for Biden to listen đ
Speeches and thoughts are good, but what we need is actions. Those who act , will survive!!
Exactly, and the French guy talks the loudest.
They cannot afford this âindependenceâ. They cannot even afford an âEuropean Militaryâ of 80,000 soldiers.
do u dont know what action is needed?!
â@@StarFox85First fulfill his promise of unite the military of Europe? So we Europeans can protect ourselves.
See what he does, not what he says. He is expert in BS. Like french say : "Du pipeau"
In Quebec, we say... "C'est de la marde"...
So true, he's a manipulative psychopath, horrible guy
You have to do what he said, then everything will follow in line. It takes a mountain to achieve a greater goal.
Finally..at least someone with wisdom !!!!! Serve in the interest of France and Europe...NOT to the master in US !
The French people should be proud of this man and their country. France is the only country, at least as far as today, that has a man and a vision for an independent Europe.
Exactly. If it means to be governed by competent people I would gladly accept Macron as my president. He's a great president.
@Aegis1213
Ambitious little snivelling double tongued man, talks about democracy through the hat of Claus Schwab. He is a tool in the NWO that will enslave, the western world back to obscurantism of the Middle Ages.
lol
He's a Commie.
more like a vision for a neo-franco empire
Vive l'Europe, independent from US.
Yes Asian ppls wish the same, no more obeying US.
USA that saved France !
Oh dictator communist greedy China is better?
China was third world and America helped it for its wealth!
@@JT-cm9di Now as much I want Asian ppl not to do the same. Many Asian people will think they are allies of us. That will only happen with China and North Korea, two Asia nuclear weapon nation stop threatening Asia. North Korea wants to attack South Korea, Japan. China wants to attack Taiwan and wants a huge area of Southeast Asia seas. In the end, this will not help and solve anything. The attitude of China and North Korea has to change.
I guess you are ready to fight your own battles, without US support.
China showed him the light now spread it to the EU. (Free Assange)
Very good speech - focused on what is really important. This is what a speech from a competent leader should be like.
Shhhh ~ ! Don't say it so loud, cuz some fellow who shook hands with air and greeted some deceased lady who had been away for quite some months would not like it too much. đđđđđ
Great đ speech from the French presidentâŠ. Every country needs to consider their position on equality and economic development in the country. And Europe needs to make their position clear and to ensure the economy benefits of their own economy development.
The man is a dictator, a power grabbing WEF servant. The French people want him out ! And knowing what he's up to I can't blame them. The man Macron loves Macron and nothing else. He is not by all means representing the French.
the European economic turnaround started from banks at the end of last year, so all European banks are already selling US dollars and US treasury bonds.
Economy deafening culture. đ€Ł
Wishful thinking âŠ..when poor economic members became dependent on economic powerhouses like Germany and France, the imbalance is only aggravated because corrupt governments like greece and Ireland and Italy and Spain will just suck out its resources
Didn't know he so smart and ambitious, but i don't think eu people would understand or supportđą
Many media in the European Union are controlled by the United States, and many senior EU officials speak for the interests of the United States, but Europeans believe that under all kinds of propaganda, the United States is protecting Europe.
Europeans have never thought that even in the strongest period of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union did not attack Europe, but now Russia's defense spending is only more than 60 billion US dollars, which is similar to that of France.
I think you underestimate "EU people" a lot. Especially now that Britain is not a part.
Yes, he is intelligent. Definitely not a dummy. Youâre right about the understanding and support too.
He says for his opinion for France. Those who insist to follow US, no problem, go ahead to support Ukraine and continue the war.
He was just not having a chance while EU completely loss power over Nato due to Ukraine Crisis, but China decided to rebel give other country chances to finally say NO to US đ
Finally someone is coming back to their senses
Based on the questions from the audience, I have to agree with Macron now that Europeans do not care about Taiwan!!
Go read One China policy. Even the United States of America recognizes Taiwan as part of China. Now, the United States is breaking its own law to start a war with China by trying to lead Taiwan to the same path as Ukraine. đ
Must be the height of naivity knowing that many's care about Taiwan is as solid as US's care about Afghanistan or Iraq or Vietnam. Will find out about Ukraine when Putin's mate returns to Whitehouse.
Funny you said that. If you are actually capable of processing information without bias, and you truly seek the absolute truths, then you would have realized that the only country that cares about the future and prosperity of Taiwan, is China.
I am sure USA does not care about TW too... they are just using TW against China.... Even Tsai Ing-wen does not care about TW's long term future... she just cares about her vote... lol
Iâm European. I do care about Taiwan and limiting chinaâs control over the region
Hat off to President Macron for his courage to speak his mind in a Europe that is totally brainwashed by ideologies and political correctness, and no one should ever question the American's strategy in Ukraine.
What strategy? Die for us Ukraine, for our interests, fighting with your brotherly people?
no one here is brainwashed sir, u seem to be the brainwashed one considering u actually believe that
oh my, the irony
I know he faces backlash for his pension reform, but overall, I'm am proud to be French and proud of my president. One who is willing to stand for himself and his policies, faces opposition bravely and calmly, maintains a steady heading on what is most important for the country, and lastly, remains patriotic for our dear nation.
Patriotic how ? By selling Alstom to G.E patents included for 13 billions and rebuying it for more ?

@@robertcwchin5872 Yeah , but , first it's a bit late , the damage is done ...Second the task of making people get out of their "American dream" transe is too monstrous for a coopted turncoat opportunist like him to achieve , for that you have to have at least a bit of credibility .... It's not only history that has been tweaked along decades , it's peoples' common sense .
I mean imagine the astounding situation of whole educated European populations still thinking that a country that barred access to higher education to the bulk of it's population by making it cost two fully furnished castles , and giving the opportunity to access it to only a fraction of mostly intermarried 1%ers ( remember that they're not 1% ers because they're smarter or work more , some yes but most it's because they're agreeable to the power in place ) , could yield all the vast intellectual achievements USA built it's economy on , is an incredible achievement of foreign state sponsored brainwashing ....
Macron is under a lot of criticism because of the pension increase and I can understand why some French people (especially the rural population) feel forgotten. But I must say that he is a great gain for Europe and it needs exactly this leadership so that Europe remains relevant enough in the coming decades and above all leads by example that there is a peaceful and happy life under a democracy. Long live europe!!!
Maybe you can listen to the Greek Yanis Varoufakis.

@@LSmoney215 I just hope that the French do not go to the next election in right-wing anti-European fields...
Europe has to be more independent and becomes the 3rd superpower in the world beside US and China. During the process, Europe needs to maintain good relationship between US and China.
But what's is EU ? It sure is not a country. It is only an organisation protected by the US military might.
Europe needs to do what is best for Europe, not for us or china
Europe is too divided to be able to have common policy. China and America will pick apart different nations to their camps.
â@@vasukinagabhushanhe is talking about western Europe + Italy + Nordic countries... there is diversity but not that much

If french truly believes in democracy and Sometimes or most of the times is seen as one of the mother of democracy, why is france colonies in Africa still depending on france because till today, france is still printing their currency and till today, still paying colonial tax to the french?
Are you talking about true democracy or hypocrisy?
The Independence of Culture (1799 to present) France and the United States are rightly considered the birth places of modern democracy.
Indeed those African countries WANT this currency system because it gives them stability and confidence of investors. It was never imposed by France.
The previous French colonies seem to be less problematic than what was left by the British.
@@hurri7720 The 'seem' part is because we French did not get close to the numbers of the British. The Americans base their soft power on the British empire in truth they are an extension of it in many ways.

France: it is nice to have a leader who thinks.
But are French people thinking? I'm disappointed at their vandalism and recent violent protests. It just says french people and collective Wests got softer and we truly appreciate hard work we will not be competitive.

Salute to Macron! EU was formed with good intentions approximately 30 years ago. For European, a united Europe is imperative to stay competitive in this multipolar world. But a big roadblock is always in the way. Will US let that happen?
The US is not the problem, it's a competitor and a companion.
The EU is of course a long story, and a work in progress.
Treaty of Brussels 17 March 1948
Treaty of Paris 18 April 1951
Treaty of Rome 1 January 1958
Single European Act 1 July 1987
Treaty of Maastricht 1 November 1993
Treaty of Lisbon 1 December 2009
The US will let it happen, so long as the EU depends and relies on the US.
The US does NOT know how to deal with an equal, let alone a superior.
Excellent speech. Hope he follows through.
Strong words as always. Then he got a phone call from the US and immediately backed down and became a good boy, again.

Maybe you should stop listening to the speech and look at his actions. The way he is selling every bits of France to the highest bidder, american pension funds, blackrock, JP Morgan, Mc Kinsey, or destroying healthcare, the industry and the economy. He even managed to break the energy sector where France was a world leader. And Im not even talking about the brutality of the man, the way he bloodied the street of France.
Is the EU strong, competent and independent? The southern half of Europe laughs while sipping wine?
@@dezafinado whether they are now or not, I want them to be. Don't you?
Wh6 does he speak French when he visits the USA if he can speak English fluently?
@@Saltatory_ Although I prefer to be optimistic, the southern part of Europe (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece) has a lot of problems... high youth unemployment, inefficient, inward cultural mindset, corruption and nepotism. These issues have been there for many generations. If the EU somehow erase those traits from the people, prosperity is achievable. Look at the Italian immigrants in the US, most of them came from southern Italy after WW2. Besides the average person with a job, they're influential in Hollywood, banking & finance, winemaking, etc.

Respect to Macron, it's time for Europeans to wake up.I wish in the UK there is leader like him.

too late to wake up
I think all the European leaders need to go to China with a open mind and free spirit to meet the Chinese President XI for a eyes opening, because I'm seeing the difference in French President Emmanuel Macron since his visit to China, but I hope he keep it real.
China will now the new leader for Europe.
let this man do what he says. This is the path Europe needs. đ
He donât represent EU simple is that.
France needs this, perhaps. What Macron proposes is at direct expense of the entire eastern part of the EU. Macron is not representing European interests, he represents French interests and nothing more
@@Radonatorr no. He is using the American military to fight in Ukraine. If they don't do it, that basically creates the gap where Europe's sovereignty gains new meaning. It's not that complicated...

That answer is why you Europeans lost the world, you talk about democracy but look what you have done and do to Africa, French still stealing their wealth. If the leaders don't listen to you kill them, you think that is democracy?????
Hypocrisy by hypocrites.
In a democracy you can demonstrate but a democratically elected will of the people will still decide. How hard is that to understand.
I am surprised the French President spoke in English. That is a huge concession. Speaking in French would have, I suppose, raised the ghost of Napoleon.
It's obvious why he spoke in English.
It's because everyone can understand it.
People still don't get it, 2 world wars, a cold war and countless smaller wars, people don't seem to understand that if conflict does kick, it's never those at thd top which will pushed forward to resolve the conflicts, Europe didn't act swiftly when the war in Ukraine started, waited, some in Europe only helped out kicking and screaming, an independent Europe is a great idea but as the past and present has shown us, we're not great at moving with a single mind set, being in an alliance with the US isn't always great or best but it has shielded main land Europe for almost a century
Honestly, I feel Macron is spot-on on its analysis of Strategic Sovereignty. With China and the US, each one following and pursuing THEIR interests in their way. Why the EU cannot do the same as to increase its own leverage taking into account the force of the Single Market and the EU economy in its relations with this two superpowers?
appreciated
But it's ironic to hear sovereignty from a french president given what France has continued to do to francophone countries in black Africa
I remember the news headline last week that Macron went to China asking Xi Jinping to make Russia to have it's senses. It ended up he was the one having that senses awakened.
Europe without US influence, NATO without US. Europe should shape its own destiny
đ america been begging the EU to wake up and it only took a war in the EU to get them to "start" to act.
Invest in there our own defense....
No to Nato and America

@@captainpawpawchannel , you will be free to elect an other president in due time, assuming you are French of course.
@@hurri7720 It's not so simple, the 5th republic is hardly a democratic system, Macron was able to win with less than 20% of the voters, because of the législatives (2 turns elections with the relative majority that wins the whole circonscription)
A Europe that is free from subservience to the US, China, or Russia is what the people want. For this to happen though, we must have a Europe that is able and willing to fight for itself. This will require the youth of Europe to decide that Europe is worth fighting for. How will we convince them of this when they can not see a future for themselves?
europe is not subservient to the US. it is not as powerful, but it is not a subject of the US
And therein lies the problem. Europe youth today want to apologize for their history. They want to be "inclusive" so that everybody will love them and give them flowers and dandelions. They think men can declare to be a teenage woman and use women's bathrooms. For all intents and purposes Europe is over.

Yes that is how it has worked since WW2. The war in Ukraine was started by only one man, Putin, luckily also the Russian army was surprised by that decision.

Hey! Can some share link for text of this speech?
It's interesting to see that France is willing to accept American support when it comes to the conflict in Ukraine and their own defense needs. However, when faced with the broader struggle between democracy and autocracy on the global stage, President Macron seems to adopt a policy of neutrality or isolationism. While this approach may appear to prioritize France's long-term defense interests, it's worth considering the potential consequences if the United States were to lose against China in the global competition for influence. The spread of China's system of governance could be detrimental to countries that share democratic values, such as France and the US. Given the common principles of freedom that these two nations uphold, it might be more beneficial for France's long-term security to actively support and collaborate with the United States in order to maintain a balance of power and protect shared values on the world stage.
"The spread of China's system of governance..."? Such narrative shows your lack of understanding on Chinese cultures and values. China in its thousands of years of history never, and don't have any intention of intervention in other country's system of governance. All the Chinese want are to doing business and making mutual beneficial relationship with other country. It's the US that keep making other countries succumbing to its hegemony by dictating that the whole world must worship the so called democracy system of governance. Those who don't listen to the US the CIA would be sent to the country to create local cracks and overthrow the democratic elected leader and then installed a puppet to serve the interests of the US instead of the local people. The US also wanted to create local cracks in China, by stirring up conflicts in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang, but it accidentally kicked a solid steel wall. That's why lately we could see the US politicians all gone mad by making baseless accusations on China.
China is more democratic than you & her system is better than yours.
Yeah, well I have never seen the French as being particularly smart. In fact, usually the opposite.
All Macron has implied is that he favours the status quo regarding Taiwan. He doesn't want either side to accelerate the conflict.
usa is the dictator to the world
From a Chinese perspective, we would like to see Europe become more independent and have its own strategy on international issues, not just following the US. Together, we can make a better Euroasia and a better world. Though we have different political systems, we the people, no matter whether in Europe or China, all love peace and want to live in a better world.
@çæ æ I can't understand what you are trying to say. And, better talk about what is real, not what you hear from the media.
@çæ æ It's funny to see you bring this media propaganda as evidence. Have you considered why the French president in this video speaking ENGLISH? It's about communication with other regions. Simply as you use Chinese in your nickname and English in your comments. People who live in France learn French, and those who live in German learn German, it's all about making the people in this country can communicate with each other freely. I'm an ethnic Korean and my cousin has a Mongolian wife (She writes and speaks Mongolian so well and whenever and wherever she wants), what you say is simply not true.
The only thing that annoys me is Asia. I hope if China and North Korea are anti-US than stop threating Japan, South Korea( North Korea) and Taiwan, Southeast Asia/South China's seas( China). Both North Korea and China and nuclear weapon countries but both always think about attacking Asia. In the end you do nothing to help if you keep continuing this attitude.
Vous ĂȘtes un vrai homme, avec un corps authentique. Par la suite, vous serez moquĂ© sans fin par les mĂ©dias amĂ©ricains.
Strategic autonomy will only work when France stops deluding itself into thinking that France's interests are Europe's interests.
The lukewarm response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine did not win any favors from their Eastern European compatriots. US & UK did all the heavylifting in the response of the invasion because the French & the Germans failed to do so.
Levering the resources of a neo-colonial empire in Africa to win a favorable balance of power in the EU is also not helping for a more integrated Europe. If France had to import uranium for its nuclear power plants from Ukraine and not its neo-colonies in Africa, would they not have been less blind to the legitimate security concerns of Ukraine?
America desperately wishes for a stronger Europe, so that they can focus on the Indo-Pacific. France does not wish for a stronger Europe. France merely wishes to usurp the powers of its neighbors as its own and work out its Napoleon Complex on the global stage. If they wish for a more united, powerful Europe, France should be willing to give up more autonomy and influence. Could you see France being subservient to the democratic interests of countries like Estonia, Slovenia, and Austria in a federalized Europe? Yeah, didn't think so.
I respect the hell out of France. It is the only major military power in the EU that maintained its martial prowess and punches well above its weight. I even agree with Macron about the pension reform. It's just that if you really want a United States of Europe, the most powerful states have to be willing to disproportionately give up their influence and sovereignty. And France shows NO willingness at all to do so.
âUsurperâ is a good word to describe these people.
Thank you, France. Youâre definitely the leader of Europe, again youâre teaching us how to break free.
We are not the vassals of US or any other country like China or Russia.
The reality for you today is that you are a US vassal, an enemy of Russia, and a dubious "ally" for China.
I think, we see and hear a leader with deep thoughts about France, Europe and the future of the world. I miss this in Germany sometimes.
In Germany we have DIEM25 with the Brilliant Greek Yanis Varoufakis
He could be the Perfect Leader for Europe. Very Honest Man.

"I do whatever I want"....met with applause....
Wasn't that him saying is what authoritarian leaders do? I don't think he was referring to himself.
@@myla6135 I'm pretty sure in a "Democracy" he answers to the people and does their bidding. Not whatever he wants. Paris has been in protests and on fire for how long now because he refuses to listen to the people?
@@myla6135 people will definitely clip that part out and it'll be a CZcams short, titled, "I do what I want - Macron the Monarch"
You misunderstood -- was it that you misunderstood the way he structured the sentence, perhaps? I can see how you might have been confused. You have to listen all the way to the time code 3:35 --- he's structuring the English in the way that Germans put the verb at the end of sentences. If you do *_not_* wait until the end you misunderstand the context of the entire sentence. He says that the callous notion of is what puts democracy at risk. I would challenge you to go back and listen more closely.
Seeing a free world leader embroiled in his own domestic turmoil talked about 'freedom, humanity and democracy' in a foreign country after openly embraced a dictatorship with tight hugged is a rarity nowadays.
We highly respect Mr.Macron in Indonesia. His character and style is very much like our President Mr Jokowidodo. They both love each other. They lead by examples. I am so happy that in todays world that is being torn between US and Russia, we have leaders like Macron, Jacinda, Japan PM, Croatia Lady President and Indonesia President that provide as a sense of good life and hope for a better tomorrow. I hope Mr.Macron keep charting the new good order of the future of the world embracing humanity, globalisation and advance technology. The world now is still an inheritance of world word 2 winners. Lets us improve. We hate wars. We love each others. Life is beautiful. Thanks.

The beautiful country, France, will truly be great again! Cheers!!
We in the US should let Macron become the de facto leader of NATO and Western Europe. He obviously wishes to fill that role, and clearly Germany would like him, too. Itâs time for the US to come home. Let us stop spending up to 45 billion a year for American defense forces in Europe ⊠let us spend much, much more on our domestic priorities.
As a European we should say no to slavery. Question is, being independent will serve us better as independence demands blood and eu is old.
So who should say yes to slavery if I may ask?đ
@@slimfbiggyansah4295 By large the world has accepted after ww2 e.g. EU, jJapan, GB, South Korea, Canada, the Middle East
I suggest you should learn a bit more, it would make your comments improve a bit.
@@itlearner1175 hmmm, I think you need to learn more before commenting. No one has accepted anything like slavery
Well, sometimes it feels like a bit of slavery when EU unelected officials give directives. They love to create rules for other people.
Tell Macron that the Statue Of Liberty needs a face-lift & France needs to pay for it!

Tres Bien. Viva la France â€ïž and a little humor, too. Macron has my support.â€ïžđ€đ
Democracy works only when each individual makes a rational decision to act in one own best interest. Individual liberty and social responsibility & participation (like obeying laws, paying your dues in time, participating in democratic institutions with desire to work for good and efficiency) are essential components of democracy. Anarchy cannot be democracy as long as the institutions are legitimately democratic. We should appreciate what we human have created presently, after thousands of years of socio-economic evolutions. The present system have faults and need more improvement but the way is participation in the system not the complete rejection of the system.
That's why the western democracy does not work and the Chinese democracy works.
Europe has to take it's own stand - independent from the US and Nato!!
Nah...EU is a vessel of the U.S. and always will be.
I have to admit that it was a very good speech!
Macron is the new Merkel: embrace pragmatism and be realistic.
You forget that politicians always give speeches, but their actions doesn't add up to their speech. Do you hear how many promises they make on the campaign trail? Yet, when elected, it's a different story.
so true
... a French patriot and a European en mĂȘme temps.
Finally some leader talking sense in Europe. Whew....
Over 2000 years ago, a Guqin master named Boya, faced lofty mountains and flowing river, and he was inspired by the scene, played an improvisational piece. Zhongziqi, a hermit in the high mountain, appreciated the characters behind the music, the high mountain and flowing water. Thereafter, the two became intimate friends. After Zhongïżœs death, Boya broke his Quqin and sword not to play music again. The music played by Boya was played at that time was called flowing water.
High Mountain and Flowing Waterïżœ represents cherished friendship in Chinese culture.
President Xi cherished the friendship with Macron. That's the purpose of playing this Guqin song to Macron.
You might have reservations about Macron, but at least he is speaking what the majority of Europeans think, I just wonder what our Chancellor Scholz thought. A very good speech. All we are asking now is to push for a peaceful settlement for the ongoing war. Our children need peace for them to help make Europe stronger.
That's right. The US should never involve itself in any European wars. Their WWII involvement was a huge mistake, and they really should pull out of aiding Ukraine now. Sending billions and billions of US citizens' hard earned $$ to Europe for this war...for what?
to show resolves to the EU for future friendship and allies with common interests, simple as that. Also, soon-to-be-expired weapons are sent, not the new stuff which cut down disposal and maintenance cost.

Europe must learn to stand up for itself.
so considerable that they gave the mic to a person stuttering hard
Europe is Europe . It is not part of USA. Not many politicians have this sober thinking and courage.

A Multipolar world = A better world đ
Multipolar literally is democracy internationally.
Isn't it what Putin wants? A multipolar world instead of unipolar (world under US)?
So far the proponents of "multipolarity" openly mean it as "multi imperialism": 5 countries divide the world in spheres of influence where they can kill and rape with no interference from each other.
Then why, today, France has joined the side of the struggle that is still trying to maintain unipolarity and a real global dictatorship? Why did France not support Russia, which began the first steps towards a multipolar world, which would eventually free France and other European countries from US hegemony?
polite and respectful speaker and audience, well done!
đTime lapse 27:50 đđ€ Here is all he wanted to say and as a EU state man he is absolutely right aboutđđđđđđđđđđ
......and what is he going to do about making it happen, absolutely zero, and I'm sure China follows all the trade rules (Not), he mentions climate change, sustainability, security but not human rights, way to go Macron!?!
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men do nothing

Macron's European speech is more effective than a handful of sleeping tablets.
Humanity my foot. Today I met a guy in the street, holding hands with his young child. He begged me to buy him two baguettes. I asked why two, he said he has two more children at home, life is hard, he has no money to buy food thus week. I gave him five Euros. Then I followed him, he really entered a bakery and bought all baguettes with that five Euros. As here in France, the more you buy the more it' s a good bargain, like buy one for 0.90âŹ, but buy three for 2âŹ. He came out of the shop with two full arms of baguettes , beaming with his child. It broke my heart!đą
A good speech indeed!
There is too much danger in the worshipping of a very narrow band of idealism in this world. In the pursuance of only their very own ideals, these people become dangerous and easily manipulatable tools who would infringe upon other people's and country's rights. We are supposed to be different and we certainly need more practicality, tolerance and diversity to make this world a better place.
the ideas of self determination and democracy is not equalled by autocracy
@@deankruse2891 Unfortunately, self-determination is never a solved problem in any democracy framework.
@@quippy8402 self determination for the nation state itself, and of course, self determination for its citizens. Human nature is not a problem to be solved but a project to be worked on, a tree to trimmed and fostered. It is why authoritarians always fail while democracies always win.
Finally someone is Europe has woken up! It may be too late though.
More information regarding Eu united, need to Empower younger!!
Didn't this guy do the first ever historical PRE-surrender in China earlier this week?
Macron's English is excellent compared to the older generations of French people. Europe is too big to depend on somebody else unless we want to be marginalized.
His English is so "sassy"...lv it! Great words Mr. E. Macron.
Very good speech. Other countries could learn a lesson from French diplomacy. Unfortunately, some will see this as weakness because theyâre too busy listening to their war drums.
He's a sham
A great speech by President Macron . This globe needs a strong multi polar world ; with EU being one.
Are France đ«đ· & EU able to stand up to USA đșđž pressure.
Let us all pray to a peaceful world with no more wars & destructions. Let the global wealth be distribute more fairly to ensure absolute poverty are eradicated in the decades ahead đ
TikTok ceo thought his hearing was tough đ
Beginning with Voltaire, who called himself the Confucius of Europe, France has been the confidant who appreciates and understands China. After that, French literary giants such as Balzac and Hugo also made the Chinese understand and love French humanism, romanticism, and their pursuit of fairness and justice.
My personal favorite Romain Rolland strongly advocated the integration of Germany and France in his book "John Christophe".
Today's China and France should also emulate the friendship and peace advocated in the book, and make progress together. Both the French and Chinese share a vision of a future world with commoners/proletariats trading, living, and sharing the world together without alien aristocrats, god-like monarchs, and snobby super riches getting in the way.
Well well I am all for friendship and a safe world.
But China is not a democracy and Europe should not be as dependent on one country like China, democracy or not. The same goes for the USA. This is what Macron spoke about, not to be too dependent on other countries and systems.
China has understood that same thing and also want to be less dependent on the west and other countries.
Would it surprise you if the USA also understand it.
And yes I also understand that China is more like a culture than a democratic country in the way of our western culture.
A real leader leads đđ
Where can you find the French version???????
This speech is excellent. Mr. Macron had explained clearly how the EU is full of severity to strengthen the union.
