Say "protect Russia" and he becomes the target of public criticism.

French President Macron is at the forefront of public opinion. According to the Financial Times and other reports on the 5th, Macron drew strong criticism from Ukrainian and Baltic officials, because he mentioned in an interview that Russia's "security guarantee" should be regarded as part of ending the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

On the 4th local time, during his state visit to the United States, Macron said in an interview with French media that Europe needs to prepare a "security framework for tomorrow".

"A key problem that we must solve is that, as President Putin has always said, Russia is worried that NATO will directly advance to its doorstep and deploy weapons that may threaten Russia." Macron said in an interview.

"This issue will be part of the peace issue, so we need to be prepared for these things, how to protect our allies and member States, and how to provide security for Russia when it returns to the negotiating table."

The above remarks immediately triggered sharp criticism from Ukrainian officials.

"Someone wants to provide security for a terrorist and killer country? Not the Nuremberg trial, but signing an agreement with Russia and shaking hands? " Danilov, secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Committee, said on social media.

Podolyak, adviser to the Ukrainian President's Office, said that the world needs Russia to provide security, and Russia should be responsible for it. He said that this can only be achieved after the initiator of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is tried, convicted and compensated.

The Financial Times said that Macron had previously said that the West "should not humiliate Russia in the war" because once the conflict is over, Russia will remain a neighboring country. This has also been accused by critics of Macron's "soft attitude" towards Moscow.

Former Finnish Prime Minister alexander stubb said that he fundamentally disagreed with Macron. "The only security guarantee we should pay attention to is basically' non-Russian'. Russia needs to ensure that it will not attack other countries first. So that we can start the discussion. " He wrote on social media.

Artis pabriks, Latvian Deputy Prime Minister, said that Russia's invasion of Ukraine could be ended by providing Russia with security guarantees. This idea is falling into the trap of Russia, that is, the West and Ukraine should be responsible for this war, and Russia is an innocent victim.

On February 1 local time, US President Biden and French President Macron embraced at the welcoming ceremony of the state visit held on the South Lawn of the White House. Source: vision china.

The Financial Times pointed out that Macron's comments also seemed to confirm Russia's view that NATO's expansion to the Russian border by absorbing former Soviet countries was the cause of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. However, NATO categorically denied this view.

The report quoted a French official as saying on Sunday that France's primary task is still to help Ukraine resist Russian attacks and ensure that Ukraine's sovereignty can be restored after the withdrawal of Russian troops.

The official denied that "Macron is soft on Russia", pointing out that the French President condemned the so-called "atrocities committed by the Russian military" and sent French investigators to assist in the investigation of war crimes.

But the official also pointed out: "Europe needs a new security architecture to avoid future wars." "Russia will not go anywhere else, and this needs to be part of these discussions."

The American politician news website reported that this is not the first time that Ukraine and France have had differences on Russian-Ukrainian negotiations.

Ukrainian President Zelensky said in May that Macron asked Ukraine to make concessions on the sovereignty issue. However, the Elysee Palace denied this statement at that time, stressing that Macron had never asked Zelensky to make any concessions.

Playing Pipa: Do you want to see Macron get angry with old Biden? Things have changed.

It's not that I don't understand, but that the world is changing too fast.

Anyway, a dramatic scene happened.

Remember a world-class farce two days ago? Musk and Apple are linked. Apple is the world's largest company by market value, and Musk is the world's richest man. But if you don't agree, it will be fierce.

Musk's firepower is fully open, aiming at 30% of the "Apple Tax".

He has a great personality and sent a photo. He drove his car to a fork in the highway, and it said "Pay 30% commission" on the left, "Go to war" on the right, and the car chose the right exit.

Musk is going to "go to war"!

He also publicly questioned Apple CEO Cook: "Apple once threatened to delete Twitter from the AppStore. What's the matter? "

They are all super rich. Why are they so openly involved?

Two reasons. One is the "apple tax". It is difficult for Twitter to generate revenue, but 30% must enter Apple's pocket. Will Musk be angry?

Second, Apple stopped advertising. Apple is Twitter's "number one advertiser". After Musk entered Twitter, Apple suspended its advertising business. Can Musk not jump?

Interestingly, Musk bombarded Apple on Twitter, using an Apple phone.

More interestingly, Musk also said that if Apple dares to take off Twitter, he will make a new mobile phone. Well, if you want to do everything, then copy the back road of Apple iPhone.

But more dramatic is yet to come. Just as people are eagerly looking forward to Musk's 300 rounds of Cook vs. Tesla's production of mobile phones to copy Apple's back road, a scene of twists and turns happened:

Cook warmly invited Musk to Apple's headquarters in California, and they had a cordial and friendly conversation. Comrade Cook solemnly clarified that Apple will not stop advertising Twitter, will not drop Twitter in the software store, and has no intention of maintaining hostile relations with Musk.

I made it up, but that's what I meant. In Musk's words, Apple clarified the "misunderstanding" to him, and Apple never thought about taking down Twitter.

The arrogant apple is no longer arrogant. Musk will naturally accept it when he is better, and he will no longer scold the 30% apple tax and stop talking about making his own mobile phone.

The giant war is more dramatic than children playing house.

Is there a principle?

It seems that there is, and it seems that there is not. The key is to look at the money, and the money is in place. Even the richest man in the world is happy. Cook, you are great.

But have any dramatic events come together like this recently?

There are many.

Don't forget, just last year, France and the United States were at odds and had friction. Biden's mantra was "America is back", and the French later realized: What is America back? The United States is back to pry the French bill!

Because the United States and Britain actually signed a contract behind France and Australia to help Australia build nuclear submarines, and they smashed tens of billions of dollars of submarines between France and Australia in black and white.

Macron was so angry that he immediately recalled his ambassador to the United States. This is the first time that France has recalled its ambassador to the United States since the two countries established diplomatic relations more than 200 years ago.

But the situation is changing rapidly. Just a few days ago, Macron went to the United States happily, and Biden's first state banquet was dedicated to Macron. 80-year-old Biden and 44-year-old Macron shook hands for 42 seconds, which made the photographers unbearable.

What major difference?

If you rob me of my money, then you won't feel ashamed; Since you gave me sweetness, we are good friends. Of course, it does not rule out that there is a scene in front of people and a scene behind people.

In addition, the Nordic countries have always looked down on Turkey, and they will not tell Turkey what to do. In the past, Turkey had no choice but to denounce it. I don't know, Finland and Sweden later wanted to join NATO, and one person guarded it, Turkey. If you want to join, you must promise me the conditions.

Finland and Sweden can only bow their heads. In a very dramatic example recently, two Kurds felt that Sweden was very safe, and they also worked in Sweden with peace of mind and applied for asylum. However, the Swedish government suddenly turned against them, arrested them and extradited them to Turkey that night.

Is this a warlords?

I don't know, but what I do know is that what you couldn't imagine six months ago really happened in Turkey six months later.

What about the human rights that Sweden has always held high?

All right, forget it. People have higher interests.

Why are there so many dramatic events?

It's simple. This is the world, this is the reality, and this is the benefit.

It is more difficult to touch the interests than the soul. Anything can be sold for profit. Of course I'm talking about some people. In some western countries, some people usually have loud principles and don't compromise on many things, but in reality, don't they just change their interests?

What principle?

Sometimes there is only a position, no right or wrong.

What benefits?

Sometimes everything can be thrown away for profit.

In this world, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, and some are eternal interests. Sometimes, I have to say that nobility is the epitaph of the noble, and meanness is the passport of the despicable.

Therefore, when you are anxious to watch Musk vs Apple and expect Tesla to get out of the phone, things will turn around. Cook picks flowers, Musk smiles, and the two get back together, loving as ever. Not to mention the 30% apple tax, Tesla mobile phone is so bad.

So, when you want to watch France and America turn against each other and Macron die angrily, things have changed. Beating is love, scolding is love, love is not enough, and the United States and France are United. Of course, don't be too disappointed. This is just the first wave. We don't rule out the second wave. There was another wave on the ground, and the bed of the old enemy was noisy again.

Oh, by the way, before Macron left the United States after meeting Biden Sr, the last big shot he saw was Musk, who was quarreling with Biden. When two horses meet, I wonder what dramatic events will come out.
