After having met Marc Carney in the French Island of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, given his bunker speech at the Elysée Palace, then intervened at the UN General Assembly and met Donald Trump at the Trump tower, Emmanuel Macron delivered a 40 minutes press Conference to the two main TV French Channels just before the arrival of the pope.
Despite such agitation and efforts to pretend voluntarism, Emmanuel Macron exhibited the political behavior of a Tony Blair with twisted characteristics of a French cold-blooded algorithm.
The first part of his intervention was on the international situation. He first denied the information about the CIA report on the immediate possibility of a Russian drone strike against France from the Mediterranean. But then added that Russia multiplies actions against Europe that are unfriendly and even criminal, even if “in matters of words, I want to prevent an escalation.” And that “Europe is the strategic depth of Ukraine,” mentioning the Leipzig airport drone as something that fortunately failed but could have led to an open confrontation, of course blaming the Russians. He concluded that we should be prepared for dangerous times, he was the protector of the French nation and taking care of the protection of all military and civilian sites.
More sensible former French military underscore that the media outlets ignore the statement by US General Alexus G. Grynkewich, Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), who made contradictory remarks on Thursday, June 11, 2026, at the International Air Show (ILA). When asked about the possibility of a Russian attack on the Baltic states, he replied to the Financial Times: “I have been following the intelligence very closely; Russia is not looking for a conflict. They understand that we are a defensive alliance, and they understand that we have a number of asymmetric advantages.” What would the Russians be seeking in Europe when their country is overflowing with raw materials such as grains, minerals, and energy, wondered one French former general.
