@johansmifthelry9307 The past is a different country, France (....and Germany) distanced themselves Initially from the Russia's barbaric aggression in Europe and had to be dragged kicking and screaming to support Ukraine, even though the war was financed by Europe, France and Germany visiting China has been used by China as a division in US/ Europe relationships to further their aggression on Tawain, China using force to take over Tawain will be a step to far and should be strongly discouraged, Europe will be made to take sides if this happens and most of Europe will choice alliance with the US, regardless of what France does. Macron and other European leaders (Excluding Russia) should unite Europe into one cohesive unit under the NATO umbrella, so that they are not seen as a joke (Russia is the biggest joke but that is by the bye), they should have an economic union, but political union is dead, Hungary proves it, Germany proves it and now France proves it!?!

@Homer-OJ-Simpson France and German led EU, but their axis is crumbling under their inactivity towards Russia at the start of the Ukraine war like it wasn't happening in Europe, and their general laggardness afterwards, it is with little suprise that France cannot see the danger in a petulant and hostile China towards Tawain and how that might be disastrous for Europe at present because as with its dependency on Russian Energy and it's subsequent scramble to an alternative, Europe is also heavily reliant on Chinese and Taiwanese exports, it should reshore critical industries like the US and diversify out of China to be less reliant, but that should have happened last year. The UK government has made some mistakes recently (But is getting its act together at present, the pound is worth 1.24 usd) but support for Ukraine was not one of them and the UK has signed a defence treaty with Japan to help with Asian security, along with US and Australia for AUKUS security, this is a better way of providing peace rather than bolting up your doors and hoping it will go away, if Mainland Europe had a credible force and not reliant on Russian energy then Russia might not have invaded Ukraine, for which Ukraine is paying a rather high price!?!

@-_YouMayFind_- Ukraine suffers because Europe gave Russia thousands of billions of USD to attack it, China and Russia view Europe as weak willed and France and Germany are weak willed, luckily the Baltics, the Nordics and the UK held firm in its support for Ukraine, along with Spain, Portugal and Italy which then dragged the so called European power axis of Europe France and Germany back onto the right side!?!

@skydragon23101979 NATO expands due to Russian aggression (It has increased by 2 {When Sweden joins} since the war) not because Russia is a benevolent partner to Europe, it is a hostile enemy, inflation and global trade has been affected by - COVID, China Zero COVID and the illegal and barbaric Russian invasion of Ukraine, hardly anything to do with the US, the US raised interest rates to curb inflation which is the standard economic instrument to stabilise economies with high inflation, that is why it has happened in most Western Economies, Russia increased its base rate at the start of the war and China didn't need to increase theirs as they are in a depression. Europe was reliant on Russian energy but not any longer they are an unreliable partner using their energy entails support for their genocidal ambitions, although I do agree that some parts of Europe would rather depressingly still rather be tied to Russia, the majority however do not. Australia must be glad they accepted the US and UK AUKUS deal as France could have stopped their submarines from defending them in an attack from China so it seems!?!
