I hope that this uploads with English subtitles but if it doesn't, you should be able to get them up. I can't form any opinion about what he had to say right now, just passing it on.

Thankyou.

what a speech! We are truly in a new era. I think we no longer have an ally in the USA.

Bravo Macron! USA is no longer an ally, it is a new era !

A speech like that would have been unimaginable only three months ago

Stirring stuff. Thank goodness someone in Europe is leading properly. Vive la France.

Allez Macron.

👏

Well done Macron.

My French is really rusty now so I’m only picking up every other sentence, is there a translation somewhere please?

A little war would be no skin off his nose and a welcome distraction from the shit show that is his presidency. What an absolute morally bankrupt creep he is.

When I play that link it’s dubbed in English.

That's quite a speech.

Hello JD

Interesting first post on MN….

The second video, posted by @ProfessorLayton1 is in English overdub. Can you see it? It gets a bit confusing because I feel like I need two different sets of ears when I hear two languages at once.

My original BFM TV vidéo has a subtitles option. I'm on an Android phone so your settings might be different depending...

This is depressing. So France and Europe essentially being put on a war footing.. great.

Tremendous speech. There is also the 'extraordinary' EU summit tomorrow in Brussels, which will be of immense interest now.

Unfortunately there is a shift in the world order which we cannot ignore.

Found a translation, thank you. I’m heartened by the speech and it’s good to see such strong commitment to each other. It sounds like each country will be expected to utilise its own talents which will be interesting. I wonder what the UK contribution will be? I thought investing to make LMMs in Belfast was really clever.

Oh yes of course, someone who disagree is always extremely suspect, right?He's a sinister, manipulative little man. France has no money so he has to put the fear of God into us French to make palatable the coming cuts/taxes that he needs to finance defence spending. Let us not forget how very very minimal French participation has been into the Ukraine effort compared with our European and Nato partners. Talk has been cheap but now he has to pull his socks up so his way is scare tactics so his own country doesn't go up in flames. Again.

China and America squaring up to each other, Putin has declared war on someone new every other since he came to power, the whole world is in a state right now with all sorts of people declaring war. If Ukraine falls, Putin will turn on Poland as Russia has already hinted at.

I don’t know what else we can do. It’s very scary, but there are so many egos battling right now I don’t know that we will be safe sitting back.

I have a really bad feeling about this whole situation. It's just incredible how quickly things can change.

That's why fanning the flames is a really bad move imo.

I try not to think about the ramifications of all the shenanigans, dangerous as they are. Cooler heads than mine in charge can do that for me.

Strangely though, I think Trump has lit a fuse under Europe and has awoken them from their dreamy slumber of directives for this and that obscure issue, all the while keeping the likes of Orban at the table.

Good. About time Europe woke up and this may be the catalyst for a stronger Europe eventually.

However there are bumps along the road for sure. Have to watch which way China acts, if at all.

Who would ever have thought that the US and Russia would be allies. Need to hear the views of Americans from non biased sources. Anyone know where that might be?
