Is Africa a real threat to Europe? Is its proximity a danger for the Old Continent? We can't imagine having on our doorstep an entire continent that is sinking into the destruction of government and state apparatuses, sinks into a form of chaos, of war civil society in many countries and more and more countries. And so I think that this common interest should one day make Europe decide to act as a political entity and which will defend itself its interests, including through the engagement of its armies. So, clearly, Africa, with its bad governance and its extraordinary demographic
explosion, would justify the return of Europe to the continent. AMAZING! In the 18th century, it was the civilizing mission which imposed colonization. It was necessary to bring light to this horde of savage obscurantist Negroes. This time, it’s the safeguarding of peace, the duty of protection of Europe which would justify the recolonization of Africa. I'm convinced that in a few years, I don't know if it's ten years or less or more, we will have the obligation to return to help these African countries. It's this way of giving lessons, It is this way of giving lessons that
is frustrating. which is actually frustrating. In truth, which really and immediately threatens peace and security in Europe and in the world overall? Is Africa, with its chaos and its demography that the general speaks of, or the great powers, with their propensity to dominate, their hegemonic passion? In reality, who is the real threat to our planet? This time, as the threat becomes more pressing, let us be lucid and frank. This time, Africans no longer accept to passively suffer the propaganda of others on such vital issues that concern them and which often led them despite themselves into
violent tragedies. Although part of their memory has been erased, events of recent centuries young Africans know them better now. They have access to the archives. No offense to some, they are more aware than ever that those who pose the greatest threat to the entire planet, It’s not Africans. Those who shed hectoliters of blood, those who have set the world ablaze in recent centuries, it is not Africans, but rather Europeans, and more generally: the white man. Every time chaos has imposed itself on the planet, it has come from Europe and with incredible violence, and for often
childish reasons, ego issues. We must put an end to this literary imposture, to this mental bludgeoning who made the Negro the barbarian, who presents him as the threat, What nonsense! Again the effects of propaganda from the North. We must break with this cliché of the African with a bone in his nose and a spear in his hand which would be the savage. We must put an end to this big lie maintained by literature and the immense Western propaganda machine. The real barbarian is the one who makes such sophisticated weapons to do mass killing. The true
savage is the one who organizes, plans genocides, who designs these devices of death capable of erasing man from the face of the Earth. He is the real danger that must be neutralized and as quickly as possible. Europe from all the continents of the world is the most brutal continent where there have been the most savage wars, it's not Africa, it's not Asia, it's Europe. And I tell you something else, it's not in the Middle Ages, it’s in the 20th century. It was in Europe that Jews were exterminated. It was in Europe that we fought. And
when we said with the Russian-Ukrainian war, the return of war that we hadn't seen, it's stupidity since we forgot Bosnia. Our continent is brutal, wild and a little inclined to barbarism. He is well informed to talk about it. And I invite General Lecointre who, voluntarily or by formatting, makes a fixation on the threat that Africa and the Mediterranean would represent for Europe to focus on a more global, more current, more terrifying threat, more interior to its sphere, to its bubble, the one in which we already live and which, once again, originates in Europe. Imagine that
there are half a million dead on the borders of Europe, half a million many of whom are Ukrainian. But we continue because on the front of Boulevard Saint-Germain, we are very courageous to send young Ukrainians to die. Half a million. In truth, we are pretentious or in bad faith when we think that we have moved beyond global war, when we think that there is no longer any risk of living another world war, more violent and more deadly. Because this threat obviously exists. We must stop being naive and understand that the world of yesterday has disappeared.
The war has returned. We returned again in the tragedy of history and we must prepare ourselves for it. Who will be the first to trigger it this time? Who will be the first to explode, to make set our planet up in smoke, and us with it? It seems very alarmist to present things like this, and yet, we have never been so close to implosion. If Ukraine loses, we lose too. We will not let Russia win. Russia has had the capacity to blow up the entire earth for decades. We are ready to use weapons and any
weapons, including the nuclear weapons you mentioned. Whether it concerns the existence of the Russian state or a attack on our sovereignty and independence. The threat is relatively clear because with one, a broadside of cruise missiles on a city, you erase everything by force of circumstances. So if you want, the threat is still effective. And it is clear to everyone that this conflict is only one no full-scale third world war. And I don't think anyone cares. You heard it right, and from the mouth of the head of one of the main military and nuclear powers in
the world, Vladimir Putin, who cannot really be presented as a joker. Who said a third world war is impossible? For two years, Vladimir Putin has drawn a parallel between the Second World War and the conflict in Ukraine. The world today enters a new era of uncertainty. What if, while some distract the world's attention towards an Africa threatened by implosion, we are living live on our smartphones, our tablets, our computers, the start of the planetary conflict which will lead to the explosion of our planet this time. This isn't being alarmist, it's just a clear-eyed look at
what's happening. A simple press release and yet, the approach is completely unusual in a field where secrecy is king, that of the power of deterrence nuclear power available to the United States. As of March 1 of this year, Washington says it has deployed 662 intercontinental ballistic missiles equipped with 1419 nuclear warheads to be precise, as well as 800 launchers. For the United States, this is a good faith approach and they are calling on Russia so that it does the same. The two powers alone possess 90% of the world's nuclear arsenal. We play with fire. My
feeling is a kind of casualness that is absolutely incredible and distressing on this subject. We play with war. We haven't yet reached the point of playing war, but it could well come. We are certainly approaching a moment in our Europe where it will be appropriate not to be cowardly. This is precisely what is scary, this casualness, this way of speaking as if it were a video game. Remember, history tends to be cyclical. Let's go back a century to measure the similarities. It all started on June 28, 1914 in Sarajevo by the assassination of the heir
to the Austrian throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, in a climate of arms race, desire for power and pride of the great nations. Austria-Hungary will use the assassination as a pretext to attack and get rid of Serbia, considered the center of unrest of the South Slavs. It's the drill. The French will enter the war in their turn because they had no alternative. The Germans had attacked them. So it's contagion. Slowly, the whole planet is affected, which goes to war. Each of the belligerents was convinced that it would be a walk in the park. The soldiers who went
there were all optimistic about its outcome. The Africans, who had nothing to do with their palaver, will also find themselves caught up in this madness of men. Summer 1914, the Great War broke out. It embraces France, then Europe and the world in an iron deluge and unprecedented fire. For four years, this conflict mobilized millions of men on the battlefields. Among them, soldiers from all the French colonies, even the most distant: from Senegal, Madagascar, Indochina. Natives as they were called at the time. Until 1918, to defeat Germany and its allies, France used its colonies as a
breeding ground for soldiers. Many of them participated in historic and decisive battles on the Somme, at the Rhine, at Verdun. In the cold, the snow of the Somme of Verdun or Reims, in the sinister trenches of the North, on the African terrain, at Bir-Hakeim, they don't even understand who and why they are fighting, why they are dying by the hundreds of thousands, far from home. Subjects, they are everywhere, on the Eastern Fronts, in the Dardanelles, in Verdun too. The 2000 deaths per day in ten months. Death under the joyful ones who dance with its knucklebones.
All this for 2800 francs pension per year. The price of blood shed is given for such a distant motherland. Planetary assessment after four years of clashes: 18.6 million dead, including nearly 9 million civilians. Actually, imagine the entire population of Senegal or that of Chad who would be killed because of the vanity of men. After such carnage, everyone says it's over. Never again. You are wrong. Only twelve years later, in 1939, they did it again with more violence and arrogance. The same causes produce the same effects. The increasingly displayed expansionism of the axis powers. Germany, Italy
and Japan spark tensions with a League of Nations, ancestor of the UN, totally overwhelmed . Nazi Germany invades Poland and sparked World War II in Europe. On September 3, 1939, honoring their guarantee of Poland's borders, Britain and France declare war on Germany. As in 1914, contagion is rapid. The whole world is now at war. Once again, the poor Africans who don't understand anything are forced into this new white madness. It's by thousands that they will die in the trenches, on the battlefields. Senegalese and Malagasy, they are recruited arbitrarily. Each region under French domination is forced
to provide the army with quotas of colonial subjects. Their number is decided by local administrators and chiefs. Injustice sets in. If among them, some soldiers already have military training, the majority receive only a few weeks of instruction. However, after a long and trying journey and barely disembarked, these men find themselves in combat. For the Isère front, there are more than 10,000 fighting on the front line. Assessment of this Second World War where a democratically elected person decided to eradicate a race, the Jews: 60 to 80 million people, that is to say the population of Cameroon,
Ivory Coast and Senegal combined. All dead. Mainly civilians. If I return at such length today to this important point, these bloody episodes in the history of humanity, this is because we have been witnessing for some time to a climb that strangely resembles at these moments which threw the world into violence and chaos. And this time, given the sophistication of the weapons, the situation is critical. It would not leave anybody alive, that would be the pure and simple end of our planet. Russia and the USA can agree and everyone must remember that. We were both friends
and allies, Russians and Americans during World War II Back to the present this time it all started this night of Thursday February 24, 2022 by this... Flashes of fire in the night, explosions. It was these dull noises from another time that woke the Ukrainians. A rain of targeted strikes. In the voice of this woman who is filming we hear the astonishment, the terror too. Russia has just declared the war in Ukraine. I made the decision to carry out a special military operation, the goal is to protect the people who for 8 years have suffered from
abuse and the genocide of the Kyiv regime. Opposite, the Ukrainian president very quickly addresses the population. We are imposing martial law in all regions of our state. We need you to stay calm today. If possible, stay at home. And the secretary general appeals to the Russians. To President Putin, in the name of humanity, bring your troops back to Russia. In the name of humanity, do not allow what could be the worst war to begin in Europe since the beginning of the century. Russia therefore decided to invade its Ukrainian neighbor because it feels threatened, it says,
by the inexorable push of NATO at its borders. Faced with this invasion, NATO responds and provides all military logistics to Kyiv to fight. We leave him the most impressive checkbook of history to defend the Western model. It started in 2008, when Europe decided that Georgia and Ukraine would join NATO. From there, he felt threatened and let's admit that there was reason and he prepared multiple responses. I can't stand this speech anymore: our values, our values that we want to impose on the whole world. But we do not wage war simply for these values. Except when
someone comes to your house and tries to impose the values of others on you. So I am told that it is in the interest of humanity. But what is this divine right which made France the soldier of all just causes in the world, while the only existing world empire, the United States, refuse to do so? Since February 2022, the world has lived to the rhythm of war in Ukraine, or rather witnessed the destruction of Ukraine encouraged by NATO which promised him a rapid victory and which, more and more muted, very secretly, began to invite President
Zelensky to negotiate because his supporters felt that they would not win this battle. Emmanuel Macron told Volodymyr Zelensky that he had been a great war leader, but that he must now become a Statesman and make difficult decisions, says one of his sources. The French president then makes a reference to history with a capital H to support his remarks: "even mortal enemies like France and Germany had to make peace after the Second World War." Clearly, the head of state does not believe in Ukrainian victory on the battlefield and those with short memories remember his words on
his plane on his return from the Munich conference, around ten days ago: "Neither side can prevail completely. Neither Ukraine nor Russia, because the effects of mobilization are not as significant as expected." I believe that During many of our debates, we have confused the possible with the desirable. And when the president says that "Russia cannot and must not win war." Power and duty are entirely different things. There are realities which are numerical truths, in terms of equipment, in terms of soldiers. Russia has four times more inhabitants, four and a half times more inhabitants than Ukraine and
therefore it counts. And for General Desportes, former director of the war school, there is nothing abnormal in discussing negotiations today at this point in the war. But these talks did not end the escalation, on the contrary. And kaboom! A tragic, bloody, painful event that seems distant, came to shake up the hierarchy and the situation in this Ukrainian conflict: Hamas' attack on Israel. These Palestinian soldiers open fire in the heart of an Israeli city. Several Hamas members also managed to enter Israel. These propaganda videos show them crossing the Israeli border by land... Other images show them
taking over an area of control from the Israeli army. I ordered a vast mobilization of our reservists and that we respond with a magnitude that the enemy has never known. The enemy will pay an unprecedented price. We are at war and we will win it. The violence of the Tsahal's reaction after this attack is going to be apocalyptic, disproportionate, uncompromising. It will give rise to disproportionate revenge, a complete killing, a nameless butchery before the approving gaze of the United States and the European powers. Large institutions content with timid condemnations or continuing for some to supply
weapons to the oppressor, despite the condemnations of a totally outdated UN, like its ancestor, the League of Nations, the League of Nations. It is important to recognize that the Hamas attack did not come out of nowhere. The Palestinian people are suffering a stifling occupation for 56 years. I am deeply concerned about the violations clear humanitarian law that we are witnessing in Gaza. Let me be clear: in the context of an armed conflict, no party is above international humanitarian law. Mr Secretary General, what world do you live in? This is definitely not our world. This massacre
will go down in history as even more violent than those of the Islamic State. Hamas is the new Nazis. And just as the civilized world united to defeat the Nazis, just as the civilized world united to defeat the Islamic State, the civilized world must unite behind Israel to defeat Hamas. The situation of Palestinians captured in Gaza would be similar increasingly since October 7 to large-scale torture. Beaten, starved, dressed in diapers, handcuffed to the point of amputation, blindfolded for months, difficult to have more precise information. Lawyers are now the only ones who can enter traditional prisons,
as for the military camps, three in number, they are simply prohibited from entering. These are doctors who recently sounded the alarm. We do not know how many prisoners are languishing behind these walls. The illegal combatant status applied to them has recently been tightened. It practically deprives them of all rights. Those who come back tell hell. Five Israeli NGOs will plead this Wednesday before the Supreme Court the unconstitutionality of these detentions. But this probably won't allow to obtain, as they demand, the closure of these camps of shame. Faced with such barbarity, such contempt for the Palestinian
populations, such relentlessness, how can we not understand the anger that it arouses on an international scale, and this is not just in Arab countries? Israel has the right to wage war against Hamas but not against the Palestinian people. And you think that's what they do? Of course that's what they do, two thirds of the victims are women and children. When medical infrastructure was largely destroyed, when people no longer have water, when the children are hungry, yes, it is a war against the Palestinian people. You have encountered a lot of criticism lately, I encounter criticism all
the time and I usually accept them. There's a lot of debate around this word, over and over again, people are talking, you speak, people talk about what constitutes genocide. Frankly, what we should be talking about is how we stop this damn war. There is an International Court of Justice which defines what genocide means. it is a huge massacre of women and children, which is unacceptable, what must stop and as a United States Senator I must carry the efforts until the congress to ensure that Netanyahu will not have the money to continue. When you say that
Israel is a Jewish state, what are you saying? How come someone who was born there and who has had his family here for four, five, ten generations, you are taking away his land? And someone who comes from Russia, who has never set foot on the earth, can take Israeli nationality, in the name of what? Because he is Jewish? But who is sectarian? Who made religion a confinement which gives some a right because they would be a chosen people for 3000 years and others have no rights because they that they are supposedly a landless people. Here
again, the great Western powers will demonstrate, once again, with a remarkable lack of discernment, of moderation. Our priority is Gaza. It is victory over Hamas. Rafah has not yet been taken. Our hostages are still in the hands of Hamas. There are priorities. After the first moments of international emotion justified by the barbaric act of Hamas, Israel will gradually lose media support and many nations because of the violence of its reaction on civilians. You don't neutralize someone with artillery fire, we destroy an entire building. Today, this is how the Israeli army operates. They destroy, they target
a Hamas militiaman, but in fact, they kill at least ten people around. They injure 40 and destroy the entire building in which the person may have passed. So doing it this way really leads to carnage. and there is a risk, on the one hand, that American opinion, at one point rises because today there are debates very tough in the United States, including a young Jewish generation who says: “We support Israel, but we do not support this carnage.” And what's more, they understood that there was no way out. That is to say that Israel is initially
a colonial project, a colonization project which is based on the theft of land, on the fact of expelling 700,000 Palestinians at the time, to prevent them from returning and trying to build an ethnically pure state. So yes, Israel is a fundamentally racist project. And one day it will end. I mean, colonialism, we know it's over in Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. It's over everywhere, except in one place. There remains a colonial state, it is Israel. But one day it will end Can you hear me ? trying to find shelter, being bombed, by
these Israeli attacks this morning it's a heartbreak The situation of the people of Gaza breaks his heart. And yet, the United States of America and even France continue to supply weapons to Israel for genocide on television. No sanctions. The war continues uninterrupted. Why does the war continue in Gaza? This is the question we ask ourselves when we know that the International Court of Justice, the legal UN instrument, warned of a risk of genocide in Gaza. And it is precisely this risk that should push international powers to act. Belgian MEP Marc Botanga denounces: "Apparently, international law
does not apply to Israel. But in addition, these countries which provide weapons to Israel do not meet their obligations within the framework of the Genocide Prevention Convention. Once the ICJ has noted the plausible risks, all signatory countries are expected to take measures to avoid it.” United States, France, Germany, United Kingdom and others should therefore immediately cease all arms sales with Israel, since they are signatories to the ICJ. In Gaza, according to Unicef, since October 7, more than 33,000 people, including 13,800 children, are believed to have died following ongoing attacks of the Israeli army. The inaction
of the international community reflects its inability to enforce human rights and international laws of which States are guarantors. And this, despite the recommendations of the ICJ which calls for doing everything to avoid the genocide of the Palestinians. If we let another month of war go on, we will arrive at the same death toll as Hiroshima. We still have to ask ourselves the question of: is it because Israel suffered a terrorist attack on October 7, which left 1,400 dead and missing, despicable, but does that justify going to devastate the Gaza Strip and cause 60 to 70,000
deaths, three times as many injuries? Because that's the ratio in a war. Does that justify it? No, and that's what's dramatic, is that when the Israelis will have the reality of the damage of the Netanyahu operation, it is them who will suffer from this catastrophic toll that no one will be able to bear. is very easy to use for some people when it suits them. is very easy to use for some people when it suits them. because they do not apply these rights or international laws equally and in all circumstances. You can't say that because
Ukraine was invaded that suddenly sovereignty is important to you, but it never was when it came to Palestine. It's very special, if you really believe in international law, then as soon as sovereignty is violated, it should be enforced. depending on who is affected and we agree that this should change and for others we see it as a benefit. It is Mr. Netanyahu, the first person responsible for what happened on October 7, him, the Likud right and the far right, his allies. They are the ones who played Hamas. They are the ones who accepted its financing.
It is they who, from a small group born from the first Intifada, made it a dominant political force. For what? To prevent Palestinian statehood. To divide the Palestinian camp. To minimize the laity. The Palestinian plurality including Yasser Arafat within the PLO, was the guarantor, with the place of Christians, with the place of all the diversity of the Palestinian people. While the ideology of Hamas is an ideology of uniqueness around a unique Islamic identity. I can also confirm today that I have reasonable grounds to believe, based on the evidence collected and examined by my office, that
the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant bear criminal responsibility for the following international crimes committed in the territory of the State of Palestine since at least October 8, 2023. Israel is a state that does not apply international law, which has not applied UN decisions for 75 years. Because it didn't start on October 7. They still moved 700,000 people, many of whom are in Gaza. And so they want to chase these people away, but these people are at home. The problem is: why is this situation prevented and above all, who is preventing
this situation? They are the masters of Israel, that is to say the United States, which pay 3 billion dollars in aid each year. It has been calculated that the taxpayers of the United States have already paid 3,000 billion of dollars to help a racist state based on apartheid. And this is where the international community, Europe, the United States, must tell Benjamin Netanyahu that this war is not acceptable. It is not acceptable because it leads us straight away because we see Hamas. We will move on to Iran, from Iran, we will move on to other targets.
And we then enter into the logic of the war of civilizations. When Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu says that he on one side are the people of light and on the other the people of darkness, we can clearly see in what gear we find ourselves. A visionary word we want to say. In any case, the fine connoisseur of international diplomacy. Just a few days after these words from Dominique de Villepin, the former French Prime Minister, who appears to be one of the rare European diplomats to keep a lucid eye on the convulsions of our planet with the
mistakes of great leaders, only a few days after his remarks on the risk of spiraling, of enlargement of the conflict, Iran is entering the dance of death. It's 1:40 in the morning. The Israeli sky is ablaze, the sirens sound, calling on all residents to take shelter. Dozens of Iranian drones and missiles cross the Jewish state. IDF says 99% of them are intercepted by Iron Dome, the Israeli missile defense system. In total, more than 300 drone, missile attacks cruise ships capable of traveling 2000 kilometers have been launched towards Israel, largely from Iran, as we see in
these images. Tehran has never carried out an attack of such magnitude against his sworn enemy. Most of the night, the Israeli, American, but also French and British general staffs worked hand in hand. A discreet French military involvement which has since been confirmed by Paris. I Hope we can use now a parade of international sympathy towards us after we were victims of such an Iranian attack, to be able to first persuade the Biden administration, but also our other friends, that an operation in Rafah is absolutely necessary. We want to beat Hamas. We want to free our
hostages. Now is the time to continue in this direction. Iran can wait for revenge from Israel. Israel's response will come one way or another. So, I mean, we should be careful what we does not take up the cause of one of the partners because we have two radicalisms face to face, three even. We have the Mullahs, we have Netanyahu and we have Hamas. including civil damage. I think this is a really important point to consider. I think this is a really important point to consider. I'm always a little surprised that Iran is attacking Israel. because
it was Israel that attacked Iran with its consulate in Damascus. There were sixteen deaths in the strikes and an air attack. So, I mean, it wasn't the Iranians who decided to internationalize the conflict, it is Netanyahu. However, Netanyahu's logic is precisely internationalization. That is to say that, if indeed he manages to put the community western country with its back against the wall, it can continue to massacre in Gaza, we are at 33,000 dead in Gaza today. And there you have it, the procrastination, the bad faith of the international community, notably the great Western powers, who
hastened very slowly to put out the fire to calm the spirits, to establish justice, who have walled themselves in a haughty and contemptuous posture, probably due to the feeling of guilt born from the injustice they installed in this region in 1948, after having massacred the Jews in Europe, have therefore sparked this new escalation between Israel and Iran. But let's look at reality from two points of view. On the one hand, it is us, Catholic Hitler, who committed the Holocaust. And when it was over and we were ashamed to grant them what they asked for, Muslims
who had done nothing to them were to: pay for it. Not a single Muslim participated in the Shoah, nor had any responsibilities, and we deceived the Palestinians by shamefully telling them: “go away for a few months and you will find your land again”. They were lied to, and the power of Israel's means throughout the world allowed them to take possession... First, there is suffering there of which we do not see the end. For 75 years, we, Europe and we have been its first accountants, we have repaired an absolute crime, that of genocide, A crime against
humanity, against the Jews of Europe. We fixed it by committing, allowing an injustice to continue, allowing it to continue. We cannot repair a crime with injustice. There was a legitimacy and that is that of the State of Israel today that Jews have a place, wherever they come from, to meet, so as not to be victims of persecution. But they will only be safe the day the fact is repaired that the State of Israel was created at the same time out of an injustice towards the Palestinians, those who were expelled and those who, returned to the
anonymity of refugees, are today a people who have the right to a State, who have the right to live normally like Israelis. The desire and the objective, it seems to me, are to divert attention from the global community of what is happening in the Gaza Strip where there is a humanitarian catastrophe. Special Rapporteurs of the UN Human Rights Council are already talking about genocide to bring it to Iran as a threat. Attribute to Iran an attack using nuclear weapons which they do not possess. The IAEA confirms this. Iran is the most controlled country among the
parties to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. In Iran, there is a law and even a fatwa. Order, judgment, binding decision, postulate of the supreme guide which prohibits it. Iran has absolutely no no need to do this. What if this prophecy from former US President Richard Nixon was being accomplished? With Iran joining the dance in this Israeli-Palestinian war, are we not crossing a further step with, in their cellar, uncontrolled nuclear power? And I fear that Iran-Israel, then Israel-Lebanon, Lebanon comes to be threatened, and other countries. Besides, they describe the responses with this word of Mr. Netanyahu also
carried on Iraq, on Syria, on Iran, that is to say on everyone. How far will this tension go? Who will put an end to this escalation which is transforming before our eyes into a global war? A new source of tensions which risks gaining momentum, especially in the prevailing climate of belligerence between NATO and Russia who chose Ukrainian terrain for their show of force. From now on, we are talking about intervention by ground troops. French President Emmanuel Macron, who drew the red line which Moscow must not cross, very clearly evokes the idea of sending ground troops
to Ukraine. What is the Prague speech? Nobody mentions it. It is a speech to the French community. I have made enough speeches to the French Community which is an opportunity to eat petit fours and drink champagne to know that it is also not a place where we speak to the world, where we talk to Europe, where we talk to Russia. It is therefore, these are therefore responses and speeches for the occasion which cannot have the seriousness, the scale, the legitimacy and in any case at his best in presidential speech. We don't communicate with the war,
we don't talk about the war with a whiskey in hand at 3 a.m. with a singer saying with a clear air, we are told: “Oh well, I’m going to have to send some guys to Odessa,” we don't do this because the war, it's something terrible, it's something serious. And the Ukrainian people are obviously, to experience it in one’s flesh. It's truly scandalous to play with such serious things whether peace or war. Ground troops, it is coded language and completely clear. They are fighters. If we want to mention anything else, we're talking about people present in
the basement, staff on the ground. So, what are we talking about? Does the President of the Republic talk about fighters? or is he talking about counselors, nurses, specialists? It has nothing to do. The problem only arises if we are talking about fighters. The Head of State, during the urgently organized support conference for Ukraine, announced at the outset that the sending of troops to Ukraine is not excluded and that a coalition would be set up of long-range missiles aimed at striking Russia in depth. This impromptu statement, delivered lightly as if its author did not measure the
full scope, sounds as a totally irresponsible militaristic headlong rush. That would make us belligerents. There can be no question of waging war against Russia. As for these countries which say that they have no red line regarding Russia, they must understand that Russia will have no red lines concerning them. Our policy is clear, the president's policy is clear: there will be no American troops on Ukrainian soil. Why? Because for us it's something that will take us closer of direct conflict with Russia. What we want to avoid is not in our interest, nor in the interest of
the allies. Would this be a sort of twist in the pact let's say since the cold war where there is no direct confrontation between the two nuclear powers, the fact that ground troops take place? For us, it was a matter of national interest. It is not in our interest to have a direct conflict with Russia. As the Ukrainians and Americans repeat very very well, Ukraine, it asks for equipment, it does not ask for ground troops, so in some ways it's a smokescreen. The open secret is that all weapons a little serious that we give to
Ukraine for two and a half years not walking on their own and do not work for Ukrainians who are used to Soviet weapons. So of course, we can train them, train them and whatever we want. It all takes a lot of time. So it is clear that there are servants of our weapons for all Western countries, not just France, which are there. That's an open secret. And besides, Peer de Jong said recently, there are a number of military experts who have said, well. There are plenty of ways, we can destroy the officers, we can make
them mercenaries, we can... We can make them “contractors”, as the Americans say. We can do a whole bunch of things if we want to send people. So, you know, Do you remember how the Vietnam War began for the Americans? We started by sending instructors. After four years, there were half a million. And they went to war, that's it. - It's always the same story. - Is this an escalation for you? - Since the start of this war, it has been a spiral and escalation. We play with fire. With this argument that I absolutely find unbearable,
which consists of saying: “we had set the red line for the sending of offensive weapons”. We sent offensive weapons, nothing happened. Then tanks, nothing happened, then planes and nothing happened. And now we authorize shooting on Russian territory, and you will see, nothing will happen. The problem with these red lines, the last line that we “shouldn’t cross” before things go wrong and escape us, we only know afterwards. Mister President, I am writing you a letter which you will perhaps read if you have time. We will not fight your war, because it is not ours. We won't
fight your war because we have nothing against Russia and that Russia has nothing against us. We are not here in virtual, in virtual war, in video. The people who lead us must mature a little. They are immature and thoughtless. And that's why I'm afraid. I have the impression that when he's boxing, he's saying to himself: oh, you'll see! No, but where are we? As much as it's serious when you are President of the Republic, you must have maturity, you must have wisdom, you must have prudence. Because when you provoke the one who will become your
opponent, then tomorrow your enemy, We shouldn't be surprised if we get hit with signs. The next step is sending troops. It's becoming a co-belligerent in the conflict with, as you said rightly, the issue behind a world war and a nuclear war. France has 280 nuclear warheads, Russia around 6,000 according to what she declares. And behind it is the United States, with almost as many nuclear warheads. And I'm 27 years old and I say it very clearly, very clearly, I don't want to go to the front, I don't want to be part of a new generation
sacrificed. And so today, there is an issue, yes, to put in place more our diplomatic corps in action to be able to get back to the table. But yes, but we have to say yes because... Yes, it's 1938, it's Munich. If Ukraine loses, we lose too. Isn't it a bit childish to see things in terms of "losing" or "cowardice"? Isn't it a little light in the face of the growing threat, which every day contaminates the rest of the planet by continuing to show muscles? We come out of a war, either through total destruction, This has
been the case with the German army in 45 years, either through negotiation. There is no solution. There, the negotiation seems difficult and we can clearly see that Mr. Poutine and Mr. Zelensky can't talk to each other because one despises the other and that there will need to be at least some sort of diplomacy between the two. Kissinger style. There is a possible exit and this exit is even more terrible, who would stop everything tomorrow morning, in five minutes. It is the use of weapons as Russian doctrine provides. That is to say that when I am
stuck on the ground, I unblock with a strategic weapon to a tactical nuclear weapon. That is to say, I decide in five minutes to raze a Russian town. So Mr. Putin will choose ten, fifteen, twenty, one hundred thousand inhabitants. But I choose. If we have a bomb, and it is in the doctrine, a tactical atomic bomb which falls on a city. The world will end like it did in Hiroshima. The war ended at Hiroshima and the smallest Russian bomb. It is much stronger than the Hiroshima bomb. So the world stops. We won't fight back the
world will be terrified, the world will stop. And Putin will say: you see, I'm serious now, You're going to give it to me or I'm going to go further. Who started the war in Ukraine? Vladimir Poutine. Who threatens, whatever we do, whatever we say, with nuclear weapons? President Putin. You all turn to him to know, he, what are its strategic limits? But if every day we explain what our limits are facing someone who has none and started this war, I can already tell you that the spirit of defeat is there, lurking. Western countries must finally
understand that we also have weapons capable to reach targets on their territory. It is absurd to believe that by scaring him, we will make him back down. States that declare that they have no red line in relation to Russia, they must then understand that in Russia there will be no red line either in relation to these States. If we talk about official military contingents of foreign countries, I'm sure it won't change the situation on the battlefield. This is the most important point, just like the supply of weapons changes nothing. Sorry for telling you things bluntly
and they annoy me, they annoy me. We are not in a position to confront Russia, we are not in a state. And Russia? I say it again to those who have never read a history book and to those who read it to remind them. No one can defeat a country that is across seven time zones and who has already defeated both Napoleon and Hitler. No one has dared, since 1945, fire a missile that is nuclear, tactical or strategic, etc. From a military and technical point of view, we are ready. The missiles, still in a state
where they are ready for use. A message to Westerners. We are facing a terrible intellectual and moral failure. Besides, no crisis of the kind we are facing in our Western societies and around the world of today has no other origin than intellectual and moral failure. And if we don't start from there to think about these crises and to try to answer it, everything is in vain. Certainly, morality and common sense seem to have left the leaders of our world. Listening to them, it almost feels like we're in a video game. And yet, this is not
the show, the pre-fight clash of MMA. They are nuclear powers capable of reducing to ashes the entire planet who now compete on the ground. If for many this verbal joust, almost like a playground to know who pisses higher than his comrade, these exchanges which resemble the clashes of wrestlers before a fight, seem not to be taken seriously by most people, however, they express a great danger facing our so-called modern world. Yes, many say “they are reasonable”. They are sensible heads of families. They are civilized elected officials. They will not be able to cross the Rubicon.
I want to share their optimism. But those who triggered both previous world wars were too. And yet, they did not hesitate to drag the entire planet in an indescribable bloodbath, from which she has still not recovered. Some did not hesitate, in this crazy battle, to swing cleverly crafted devices of death to cause the most civilian casualties in the center of a city. Churchill, at the start of the war, it is said, waged war on the military and not to civilians and ended the war by bombing Dresden. How many deaths? Dresden? Is it 30, 40,000 to
80,000 deaths in one night? Between 40,000 to 80,000, we don't know, burned alive! And nothing happened to the perpetrators of these mass crimes. They were even praised by their people for their courage. This is when the Americans, even before the atomic bomb, bombed Tokyo, the last time they bombed Tokyo, 100,000 people died. Harry Truman, the American president who dropped the two bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is considered a war hero. Barbarism very often hides in the most unsuspected places. Faced with all these threats, it is clear that the danger that must protect yourself the planet
is in the North and not in Africa. It is Africa which is threatened by moral decline, by the pride of its northern neighbors. I hope that his youth is now aware of this and that it knows that it must protect itself from the hegemonism of the West, of these lesson-givers who continue to bloody the planet and who threaten with their agitation, their pretension, to blow everything up. Failing to be able to stop them from starting again. Failing to have the means to put an end to this escalation which we witness almost everywhere, it is urgent
that Africa, this time, arm itself mentally, that it protects itself from the North by uniting and refusing that this so pedantic West leads him as in the past into his new war. For sure, we will not participate this time. Africa will no longer serve as a supplier of cannon fodder. She will no longer take a position in their palaver. She will no longer be in their cold war. She will no longer be in left-right divides which in no way correspond to our realities. It must be clear and it must be said. As President Omar Bongo
Ondimba said, we are neither left nor right nor center, we are ahead. Free from your ideologies. We will deal with whoever we want, and we will only take a stand for our interests. And those who, like General Lecointre, plan to reconquer, even militarily Africa to protect Europe, must understand that this literature is outdated. Save your troops for your battles and rest assured, African youth have absolutely no intention of invading Europe. The migratory flow that you point to with great media support as a threat represents only 18% of all migrations on the Continent, the largest being
intra-African. The largest migrations take place between African countries, even if they don't benefit from the same publicity, it's less salesy. Another narrative that needs to be twisted. By the way, when you look at all this, when we experience the convulsions of our planet, we wonder: who is the barbarian, who is the savage ultimately? We'll talk about it in my next column, if you please. But until then, stay vigilan.
