Macrona “or-or” is either a force for peace or a weakness for war. "And the weakness of Russia's threat is the choice of disaster," added the president and called for a "existential debate" on Europe's security.
Parisians like to hold existential debates, besides in cafes, called philosophical ones, which arose after the death of their initiator Marc Sautet. Following Socrates, he dealt with random people about philosophy, first on the streets, and in time in “Café des Phares” at Bastille Square 7, where open to all debate are held to this day. I sit in this “Café” staring at the July Column above the square, built from Bonaparte's melted cannons, who warned: “Do not wake the Chinese dragon erstwhile he wakes up, he will shake the world.”
He woke up a long time ago, and was even close a place where the remains of the French war god rest, as president Macron officially welcomed Xi Jinping just outside the Invalid Palace. China is the only power considered to be a mediator by both Ukraine and Russia, and hence their presence in the existential debate on Europe's safety is essential. Xi Jinping came to Paris for the 3rd time, this time on the 60th anniversary of establishing French-Chinese diplomatic relations.
