Macron the player, the guy whom I look to see how he is trying to jump from a sinking ship. I wrote about how I consider Macron to be a barometer for the political circles of Europe back in March 2024 - link You could say Macron was dishing on Trump back then.

Perhaps a recall of previous French diplomatic efforts should be mentioned. It was back in January 2024 that a former Russian President labeled French diplomats 'scum, bastards, freaks'
The French Foreign Ministry has justified Russia’s historic dislike of France by declaring the Ukrainian massacre of civilians in Belgorod to be self-defense, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claimed on Wednesday.
“We never liked the French,” Medvedev said in a Telegram post. “The frogs fought a war against us,” he added, referring to Napoleon Bonaparte’s ill-fated 1812 invasion.
“Now we are convinced of this. The French Foreign Ministry said that the strike on Belgorod using cluster munitions was ‘self-defense’,” he added. “Scum. Bastards. Freaks.”
The French response to the Belgorod massacre echoed the official position of the European Union, which has fully endorsed Kiev.

Now Trump comes out of a meeting with Zelenskyy saying Ukraine would like to make a deal with Russia. Then Zelenskyy immediately comes out afterward and says basically Trump has got it wrong. The games the French with Zelenskyy play so they can say I told you so, you should listen to me. I could have that wrong.
