🚨Emmanuel Todd: "We must stop LYING about PUTIN and the WAR." xitter.cf/ivan_8848/status/21049… 🚨There is an Element of Madness in Our Situation in Europe Emmanuel Todd: “The war in Ukraine is perceived in the West as a Russian invasion of Ukraine, and of course, I admit that it was the Russian army that entered Ukraine. But the historical reality is that the true cause of the conflict is NATO's expansion into Russia, through Ukraine, and the war waged by the Ukrainians themselves, pushed by the West, against the Russians in Donbas. It is absolutely true that, for the Russians, this war is defensive. For me, it is obvious that the Americans and Europeans are the aggressors, since they have come within a thousand kilometers of Moscow. This is the objective situation. What is fascinating is that these aggressors think they are the ones being attacked and that they are forced to defend themselves. There is an element of madness in our situation in Europe.” 🚨 I say that the number of anti-Russian provocations is such that peace continues in Europe because the Russians are calm and have a particular kind of self-control. 🚨I'm saying is that if Germany, I mean, really gets involved in this war and Merz ... well, you really have to listen to the Germans right now. 🚨What I'm afraid of, is that, vaguely, our leaders, the German leaders, the British leaders are telling themselves that as long as the war continues, they are safe. You see, the risk for our leaders.
