Emmanuel Macron’s comments come as Germany’s president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, warns against turning world into ‘robber’s den’
The presidents of France and Germany have sharply condemned US foreign policy under Donald Trump, saying respectively that Washington was “breaking free from international rules” and the world risked turning into a “robber’s den”.
In unusually strong and apparently uncoordinated remarks, Emmanuel Macron and Frank-Walter Steinmeier warned the postwar rules-based international order could soon disintegrate.
“The US is an established power, but one that is gradually turning away from some of its allies and breaking free from the international rules that it was until recently promoting,” Macron told France’s diplomatic corps at the Élysée Palace on Thursday.
Well you’re not wrong there…
With the Iraq invasion, for example, decades ago, I remember all of Europe going behind the the US, even though everyone knew the weapons of mass destruction was a complete and utter lie.
The US, Russia, China, they’re all the same and all only interested in regional or world domination. Fuck humanity, fuck humans, it’s all about a few rich and powerful
Those rich and powerful have to go, they’re a cancer on humanity and they WILL kill us all
Once that’s gone, we need to put hard caps on personal wealth, world wide. No more millionaires, fuck that. Anything over a million can go straight to taxes. If we’d have that, and a government where nobody can have more than a few % of the power, we can finally have trustworthy governments (competence is a different thing, still) that will have so much income that we can do free healthcare, free education, universal basic income, you name it
Fuck the rich, fuck the powerful, I want a better world for EVERYBODY
