"Embarrassed and angry": the Kremlin's voice in the west responded to Macron's statements about the army

The main objections of the French were made by the author of the Spectator portal Gavin Mortimer, which is regularly published in the Protector. On February 28, Mortimer responded to Macron's speech at the Paris Summit of Western European leaders. Among other things, the head of France expressed support to Ukraine and hinted that in response to Russia's aggression, Europeans could attract their own armies.

The Spectator author quoted the individual opinions of French officers and other persons who are "embarrassed and angry. " The article provides some publications in French media concerning Macron's behavior. First of all, politics is criticized that he did not serve in the army: it was when he was supposed to call it that the call was completely abolished in France. In addition, during a number of public events, he "went into military uniform without having the right.

For example, he visited a "seafarer of the submarine" or "pilot of a helicopter". "This is a very child's side, the children's omnipotence of a little macron, who dresses, as he pleases because he is a boss," Mortimer cited one of the public assessments of such behavior. Macron's presidency in 2017 reduced the cost of armed forces and defense, although they plan to raise costs in the future: from 295 to 413 billion euros between 2024 and 2030, they are dissatisfied with the military.

This is evidenced, for example, by the two public letters they wrote in 2021, criticizing measures to combat terrorism. "Macron is not the boss he would like to work for," 60-year-old General Pierre de Vilier said this, who was resigned recently. There are also quotes that show the problematic state of the economy and policy of France, which is not really ready for the challenges of war.

"France is not at all a military economy that allows us to lead large -scale conflicts," says General Vincent Desport, the former director of the Unified Services College of Defense College. As a result, Mortimer summarized that he doubted the ability of the President of France to act effectively in war. "If Macron believes that he can restore the prestige of France by clattering a saber against Putin, he is waiting for an unpleasant shock.

The French army, like the British, is no longer capable of wage a great war. " It should be noted that Gavin Mortimer is a British writer who lives in France and writes about "French politics, terrorism and sports", indicates on his page on the Spectator portal in addition to this portal, his materials can be found at the Kremlin Resource "Intest of Tsargrad".

One of his articles is called "Last Choice in the conflict on Ukraine pointing to the full failure of the strawberry and strategies of Ukraine, and, in the money, the APU. " Meanwhile, on February 17, Western editions told about a large -scale misinformation campaign conducted by the Kremlin in Ukraine and the world. In particular, to publish the necessary messages in the Western media, the Russians pay from $ 40,000.

It should be noted that after a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation gives Ukraine weapons for confrontation with the Russian army. For example, the Armed Forces use the Caesar SAU, capable of beat up to 42 km. In addition, SCalp long -range aviation missiles are provided for strokes on Russian military bases on the Crimean Peninsula.
