The naïve Macron and the resolute Scholz: Who is the locomotive of Europe?
Germany and France are both European powers, but at the beginning of the war in Ukraine, both countries had similar attitudes.
France's Macron keeps beating Putin in the hope that Putin will stop the war;Germany's Scholz is not sure whether Ukraine will be able to resist Russia.
However, after more than 600 days of war, Germany had completely woken up, and France still seemed relatively naïve.
Recently Putin complained that Macron has not beaten him for a long time.
Macron immediately replied: "My ** number has not changed. "If Putin ** makes serious proposals and is ready to resume dialogue in order to achieve a peaceful settlement that respects international law, France will always be a force to support and make every effort to achieve results," he said. ”
Macron is still pinning his hopes on someone's change of heart and hope that something miracle will happen.
In contrast, Scholz is completely different, his attitude towards the Russian people is quite resolute, not only let Orban go out for coffee at the EU summit, but also successfully passed the vote on Ukraine to open accession negotiations, and the recent action of aiding Ukraine has also become more and more.
The German Ministry of Defense announced yesterday: Germany finances 27.8 billion euros to buy 68,000 155-mm artillery shells from a French company for Ukraine. A further 282,000 shells have been ordered by agreement.
There are others: 1 set of Patriot air defense systems;
60 Patriot missiles;
4 x 81 semi-trailers;
8 Mercedes-Benz Zetros;
47040 rounds of ammunition for 40mm grenade launchers;
3 mobile, remotely controlled and protected demining equipment;14 unmanned aircraft detection sensors;47 Toyota Land Cruisers and more.
Earlier, Germany also passed a budget bill to adjust aid to Ukraine next year from 4 billion euros to 8 billion euros, a full doubling.
Everyone said that between the two of them, who can truly represent Europe, and who is the locomotive of Europe?
