Emmanuel Macron's extraordinary Russia hypocrisy

Speaking in Poland on Tuesday, French President Emmanuel Macron showed his great mastery of hypocrisy.

Just two months after he blamed America for what he described as NATO’s “brain death,” Macron lamented Western powers which oppose sucking up to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Macron said he’s “convinced that we can build an architecture of stability, of peace, of trust in Europe only if we talk with Russia. Not yield things to Russia, not forget what it did or what it does, but demand a de-escalation.” Macron continued, “I think it a major error to distance ourselves from a part of Europe that we don’t feel comfortable about.”
