Thierry Mariani, a member of the European Parliament, recalled in an opinion piece Pope Francis said that NATO’s “barking” at Russia’s gates could lead to Russia’s military operation in Ukraine.
In an article published in the newspaper “Valeursactuelles”, Thierry Mariani wrote: “European media usually immediately catch the statements of Pope Francis… and the Pope announced in“ Corriere della Serra ”on 3 May 2022:“ NATO is on Russia’s doorstep. is the one whose bark prompted the Kremlin leader to react badly and provoke conflict ”, which was not accepted, but shocked at the healthy realism: Russia did not attack Ukraine for no reason.” In May, Pope Francis said NATO had “barked” at Russia’s door. said, Politico could lead to a Russian military operation in Ukraine, although the Pope did not go so far as to say that NATO’s presence in neighboring countries was “provoked”. Moscow thought it “facilitated” the invasion. .
“It takes the blindness of a few semi-experts to attempt the ubiquitous hysterical remarks:‘ forced drunkenness, unity with disease, Slavic fanaticism, ’” Thierry Mariani added in his article… Out of terrible analytical laziness. .when an entire nation mobilizes its armed forces, economy and industrial equipment in an operation of this magnitude, it is not madness or megalomaniacal design.
And he continued: “Yes, the Russians can no longer afford to be surrounded by their elites, diplomats and leaders of countries feeding from the aggressive Atlantic. It threatens their security. For a long time Russia wanted to get closer to Western Europe and worked in this direction.Feared that it would cover the United States and therefore did not care about our citizens.It could not be independent in the international arena.
“Another position in Europe could have avoided a divorce in Russia and certainly avoided this war in Ukraine. The European Union has moved east in a hasty and miscalculation of expansion. Instead of promoting the historic global status of countries in the Latin world, Brussels has become dependent on the countries that have ruled history. Russia With longing for… this development severely punished France, whose interest has always been to form the famous “reverse alliance” with Russia.
And he added in part of the article: “The President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky is an actor .. He plays all the punk in the Western world .. With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, he quickly took advantage of Europe’s blindness .. No. one recalls that he closed the newspapers, cut off the TV, and brought his opponents to court. ..and no one is surprised that the tour of the European parliament to maintain peace in his country did not begin before the crisis “, added: The fraudulent Zelensky knows how to move European capitals ready for economic and geopolitical that suicide to satisfy himself. The timely delivery of weapons to Ukraine is not a humanitarian operation, but a strategic operation. “It’s not even a decision, it’s creating a new home. The tension that has caused and will cause endless damage to France and Europe… We can clearly see the tragedy that these gifts have caused in Iraq, Syria and Libya. ”
Mariani continued: “France’s interest is not the victory of Russia or Ukraine in the battle between them. It is in our interest to return to peace and normal relations with Russia as soon as possible. their Spanish. But this evidence will be shared from more French who have admitted to suffering from the detrimental economic and social impact of this situation… Moreover, the media may be fed up with the growing demands of the Ukrainian president. ”
“Stop barking at the door of Russia. Let us stop creating petty rivals, puppet movements and offensive campaigns against Moscow. When Russia becomes China, India, Argentina, Brazil or Mexico, we have nothing to gain from being a mercenary for a weakening empire. , by setting the cards of globalization… we will gain nothing from prolonging the war in Ukraine. Quick, let’s be peacemakers. ”
