Over the European Union threatened by megadezhdav. And because the countries of the Old World need to defend themselves with the help of the combined armed forces. This proposal was voiced by the President of France. "When I look at today's Europe, I see that it is becoming increasingly fragmented. Look at the world in which we live, and you will see authoritarian powers that are increasingly active and are rearming, being in the border areas of Europe. We are attacked in cyberspace and interfere in our democratic life.. We have to defend ourselves from China, from Russia, and even from the United States, "said Emmanuel Macron on Europa1. Washington threatens European values ??no less than Moscow and Beijing. But nevertheless, Macron is afraid of Americans a little less than the Russians, "who are on our borders and can act threateningly". Nevertheless, it is impossible to fully rely on US assistance in the protection of continental interests, he is convinced. "We should have a Europe that is more capable of defending on its own, not depending solely on the United States, acting in a more sovereign manner. We will not be able to protect the Europeans if we do not make a decision to create a truly pan-European army, "the owner of the Elysian Palace proclaimed.

"I want to develop a genuine dialogue with Russia, which is a European power, this is a country that I respect. The world in which we live is dangerous, as indicated by an increasing number of conflicts.. But one should not stir up fears, one should be aware of who we are and after what period we go through, ”said the politician, who himself seems to have succumbed to general panic and began to“ stir up fears ”. He compared the current situation in the world with the 30s of the last century.. Europe, he said, is under the influence of the effects of a powerful economic storm, "which plunged the countries into a severe social crisis". On the other hand, against this background, the influence of nationalism, which is directed "against Europe, which is considered ultra-liberal, allegedly not protecting the rights of people". The question of how the united European army will help to overcome these two problems remains open..
