Recently, France has been "jumping" in the international arena. Two days ago, Macron publicly called Putin, saying that his mobile phone number has not been changed. Recently, Macron said that he would not rule out inviting Putin to visit France, but there was a premise.
According to relevant reports, a few days ago, France** Macron said in an interview that he would not rule out the possibility of inviting Putin to visit France in 2024. However, there is a premise, and that is for Putin and Zelensky to negotiate peace and change the situation.
To put it simply, in Macron's mouth, the condition for Putin's visit to France is to negotiate peace with Ukraine and change the situation. But then again, inviting Putin to visit France must have a name. The reason Macron found was to invite Putin to participate in the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings.
It is worth mentioning that the last time Putin attended this celebration was 10 years ago. Then why does Macron have this "self-confidence" and feel that Putin will make concessions on the Russian-Ukrainian issue in order to participate in a so-called "celebration"?Participating in the celebration and the national war is more important, will Macron feel that Putin can't tell the difference?
What needs to be known is that Macron's release this time and said that he wanted to invite Putin was actually a temptation, not only that, but this temptation was not only aimed at Russia.
I believe everyone has also felt that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is about to come to an end. However, Russia's attitude is still ambiguous. In particular, Russia previously said that it would end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict next year. But now relations between Europe and Russia are very awkward.
Now Macron is making a move in order to test Russia's attitude towards Europe and make plans for the future. In addition, France can also take the opportunity to act as an intermediary to mediate negotiations and enhance France's international influence.
At the same time, there is a great possibility that Putin will be invited to visit France this time, and that Europe's attitude will be softened, allowing France and Russia to ventilate first. After all, France is relatively independent among European countries, and its relations with Russia are also relatively good. 、
In addition, this time Macron preemptively "eats crabs", which is also a test of other European countries. We all know that the "European dream" in Macron's heart has never been shattered. But due to the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the "European integration" that Macron wants can only be put on hold for the time being. Now inviting Putin to visit France, if there are key figures in Germany and Britain who jump out to make irresponsible remarks, it shows that there is no small resistance. But if the vast majority of European countries are silent, it will be very problematic. Zelensky is estimated to be unable to sleep at night.
But no matter how Macron "tentatives", one thing is certain, that is, the Russia-Ukraine conflict is coming to an end, and the situation in Europe will undergo a new round of reshuffle. At the same time, Macron's "temptation" also reflects Europe's consistent arrogance, wanting Russia to take the initiative to bow its head, using inviting Putin to visit France as a diplomatic bargaining chip, believing that Russia's diplomatic center is still Europe.
As everyone knows, times have changed, and what Russia values now is its relationship with China. China and Russia are highly complementary, and there is no need to worry about the so-called sanctions, what capital does Europe have, and what courage does it have to compete with China?Take confidence?
But then again, the high degree of complementarity between China and Russia, to a certain extent, was also forced out by the United States and the West themselves, and now they are shooting themselves in the foot, and I don't know what the United States and the West are like. If you want me to say, this time Putin had better not go, and kill the "arrogance" of Europe!
