Operation “Detachment”.

Andrei Martyanov 03/09/2019
This “operation” is combined West’s crude attempt to woo Russia into useless Western “fold” by “detaching” her from China.

Of course if one wanted this operation to fail, no better candidacy for this operation’s handler could be found than Emmanuel Macron, who would fit the bill perfectly. In a moment of, possible, sincerity Macron waxed Huntingtonian and concluded this: 

PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron says it’s time for Europe to reach out to Russia — to keep it in the Western fold, check its global ambitions and avoid being caught in the middle of a new Cold War. Macron didn’t say outright whether he wants to lift EU sanctions imposed over Russia’s annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, the heart of East-West tensions for the past five years. But he said new sanctions “are not in our interest.” In a sweeping diplomatic speech Tuesday after hosting the G-7 summit , Macron sketched out a role for France as a “balancing power” — between Russia and its rivals, between the U.S. and Iran, between rich and poor countries. “Pushing Russia from Europe is a profound strategic error,” Macron said. Europe’s “weaknesses and mistakes” have helped lead Russia to boost its alliance with China and revive its influence in Syria, Libya and around Africa.

Macron makes one mistake here. Well, several mistakes, actually. For starters “Pushing Russia from Europe” was not a “strategic mistake”–that was the plan and main objective of Washington, headed then by Obama and being continuously implemented now by Trump Administration. Moreover, “pushing Russia” out is not just about Russia, but by implication about Europe itself. Europe as it exists today is of no interest to Russia in any metaphysical sense, except for purely economic interest as a market, but majority of Russians are counting their blessings now because of this “pushing out” largely succeeding. Europe, meanwhile, is a sacrificial lamb for the United States, which, in a desperate attempt to save herself, will demolish Europe economically because European elites are a pathetic parody on a required political leadership, some of them are outright imbeciles, not to mention that vast swathes of them are effectively products of the American selection. So, no–let Europe deal with the US, or vice-versa, and keep Russia out of it. 

Then, the other question arises–and what is France? What’s so “special” about France that Macron proclaims her a “balancing power”? France has none to balance anything. As pretty much any European nation France is ran by the cabal of globalists, of whom Macron is an exhibit A, and thus cannot operate in the world of serious geopolitical, economic, military and cultural realities. In the end, Europe is an American slap-bitch and will remain so until fully consumed by the United States which will take Europe down with herself. So, I don’t think anyone in Russia, with the exception of few urban liberals and Western NGOs’ grant-eaters, wants to be in the Western “fold” or in present day emasculated, multi-“cultured”, gender-fluid post-modernist Europe. As the Russian proverb (from anecdote about resurrection of mother-in-law) goes–if it is dead, let it remain dead. The only negotiations between Russia and the West in geopolitical sense can be on the conditions of surrender. If not, the West can go to hell. Russia doesn’t need any “balancing” intermediaries. Last time I checked, Sergei Lavrov’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is one of the best diplomatic institutions in history. The deal is done and Europe, and combined West, must face what’s coming for them and leave others be. Especially Russia, who saved Europe on few occasions in XIX-XX centuries. Plus, please, French overwhelmingly do not even count Russia as European country and so be it.
