Video and translation of the Claude Malhuret’s speech, in front of the french Senate, March, 4th.
Washington has become Nero’s court: an incendiary emperor, submissive sycophants and a ketamine-fueled jester in charge of purging the civil service (…) we were at war against a dictator [Putin] we are now fighting against a dictator supported by a traitor (…) Trump’s message is that there is no point in being his ally, since he will not defend you, he will impose more customs duties on you than on his enemies, he will try to seize your territories while supporting the dictatorships that invade you (…) never in history has a president of the United States capitulated to the enemy, never has one supported an aggressor against an ally, never has one trampled on the American constitution, issued so many illegal decrees, dismissed judges who could prevent him from doing so, dismissed the military general staff at once, weakened all counter powers and taken control of the social networks. This is not an illiberal drift, it is the beginning of the confiscation of democracy. Eight days ago, while Trump was fondling Macron’s back in the White House, the United States was voting at the UN with Russia and North Korea, against the Europeans demanding the departure of Russian troops [from Ukraine] two days later in the Oval Office, the military service chiken out was giving lessons in morality and strategy to the war hero Zelensky, before dismissing him like a groom ordering him to submit or resign.
