It's definitely one of the more sober interviews by western standards. Perhaps there is hope that these people will start engaging with reality at some point.

I think Macron is more aware than he can politically say. He also called US diplomacy unacceptable, which is a diplomatic way of saying "bat-guano insane." I'd eager the rest of Europe is waking up. They remain dependent on and cowed by the US. I would imagine they are meeting on as big a sly as possible to figure out how to extricate themselves from the trap they so eagerly entered decades ago, although I obviously can't know.

Seems like Macron has realized that Trump's plan is the bleed US vassals dry through protection rackets, tarffis, and liquiified natural gas. Pissing off Russia and maybe starting a war with them is a terrible idea since Europe will need Russian energy.

Yes, I refrained in mentioning it in a recent thread elsewhere on grad, as did others. I think it's glaringly obvious to everyone with a working memory of last two winters, among myriad other pragmatic concerns.
