Trump erupts: Macron said that Europe build its own military in order to protect itself from the US

[Correll]

Macron specified America as a threat to defend from.

Go check the actual quote.

You have it wrong (or you are lying)

Seems the media is now claiming that the original translations were wrong.

I can't find any full text of the interview (in english) when he made the statement.


Reports I saw when I first looked, showed Macron, stating that he wanted the European Military to protect itself “with respect to China, Russia and even the United States,"



If Macron said that, he is an asshole, and deserves to be called out on it like Trump said.


If, as the media is walking it backwards, that was an error by them, then it is still him flinging bullshit, if not quite the same level of asshole.

What?

Do you stupidly think there are DUES for NATO members?

There are not.

We require that NATO members SPEND 2% of their GDP on THEIR military/ THAT is what France is attempting to do here.

Jesus people.

No, Trump was responding to Macron suggesting that the US was a threat to Europe.

Macron was stating that they can no longer rely on the US and are better to cut the US out of future leadership

Macron suggested that the US was a threat to Europe.


That was him being an asshole, and President Trump was right to call him on his bullshit.


That was my post you responded to, and nothing in your post in any way addressed that, because you know it is true.


TRump was in the right this time, to such an extent that your response is to distract from it.


Even a lefty like you, can't bring yourself to lie about it directly.


Till prompted of course.


Now, lie.

The threat was in not being able to be depended on
Trump is so unstable and so untrustworthy that Europe realizes they need to look elsewhere

Macron specified America as a threat to defend from.


YOu are either ignorant or lying.

You need to provide a quote or admit you are ignorant, lying or a Trump supporter (actually, if you are ignorant and lying, you must be a Trump supporter)

I went looking for it, and all the sources are now claiming that the original reports were mistranslated from an interview.

As I don't read French, I cannot verify that.


Regardless, you are still the lying troll here, rw.

"I want to build a real security dialogue with Russia, which is a country I respect, a European country - but we must have a Europe that can defend itself on its own without relying only on the United States."

Speaking about cyber security, he also said: "We have to protect ourselves with respect to China, Russia and even the United States of America."

Are you claiming that Trump took the President of France out of context?

 

[Lesh]

That's exactly what I am claiming

That's exactly what I am claiming

How do you feel about the way so many people take the President out of context with his "very fine people" comment?

We know what he meant

He did not want to offend his racist supporters

And thank you for proving that I was right, you are the lying troll here.


You didn't use to be like this. It is not TDS, it happened to you before that.


Was it when I challenged you seriously on your positions and made you really, think about them, for the first time?

"President Macron of France has just suggested that Europe build its own military in order to protect itself from the U.S., China and Russia. Very insulting, but perhaps Europe should first pay its fair share of NATO, which the U.S. subsidizes greatly!"
Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) | Twitter

i call it World War Trump!

Great, next thing you know they will be talking about wiping their own arse as well.

I know Americans are tired of doing it for them.

Somehow though, I can't picture a French army.

That reminds me, does anyone know how the French prepared for the reunification of Germany? They built speed bumps for the Panzers.

Wrong thread but I will respond. I caution you that if you want to continue this discussion it should be done on its own thread

Were those "good people" chanting NAZI slogs and and carrying torches?

Were they attacking people in the streets?

Did they drive into a crowd killing and injuring people?

Who exactly WERE those "good people" on the white nationalist side?

What are you doing? DO you think that calling me a name, that is obviously not true is doing ANYTHING, other than making you look even more like an asshole?

The context answers all of those questions.


And thanks for answering mine. YOu only are offended by the taking out of context, when it serves your partisan purpose.

Trump is taking advantage of a general comment to stir the pot (again). For some inexplicable reason, there is a residue of dislike for America's oldest ally, France. Any reason is a good one to insult and belittle that nation and people. Even if Macron truly represent France and the French (a dubious assumption), the comment did not at all indicate military preparations for confrontation, merely the realization that in the present atmosphere, America's good will cannot be counted upon. If anything, it was much more an economic than a military reference.
Exaggerating the situation for ill defined goals does nothing but give the ignorant another rant.

Really? Why didn't you include the quote of what Macron said, because it contradicts every single word you just posted?

Listening to his radio interview clearly shows the context in which he spoke. Many sources and types of threats to France were mentioned. As America's ambivalent and often even hostile attitudes toward France are clear, require protective steps are necessary. European armed forces were discussed after this point.

Je répète.
