Autonomous..

On his flight home from Beijing, Macron gave an interview to POLITICO Europe. In it, he said that Europe must not become “just America’s followers” when asked about the prospect of China invading Taiwan.

“The question Europeans need to answer … is it in our interest to accelerate [a crisis] on Taiwan? No. 

The worse thing would be to think that we Europeans must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the US agenda and a Chinese overreaction,” Macron said, adding that Europe must not get “caught up in crises that are not ours, which prevents it from building its strategic autonomy.”

Strategic autonomy is a Brussels term that refers to the EU having an independent geopolitical policy, which relies in part on the bloc being able to become a third power and not get squashed between the US and China.

However, the China hawks, typically in Eastern Europe, have always been skeptical of anything that puts clear water between Europe and the US, who they see as the ultimate protectors of European territory through NATO.

Some think that for the Countries that are not democratic, with questionable liberty like ... for the Party in power to keep the president position, may resort to difficult choices. May put their opponents in Jail. It is just a safety measure ...  

Issue..

 
The Major issue here is not the leaked secret documents, the problem here is the content that reveal seriious issues related to let us say Ballooning on others.  Just a thought.

Transparency..

 
The Politician and the Media are saying something... and the secret documents reveal the opposite.  Then more of these documents may show more problems in our transparency of the decision making and the Democracy that we claim some countries are defending it.  Just a thought.

Anti War..

 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Thursday defended the man arrested in connection with a high-profile investigation into leaked classified documents. 

In a tweet just hours after the FBI arrested Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira, 21, Greene, R-Ga., praised his alleged actions and implied President Joe Biden was "the real enemy."  

“Jake Teixeira is white, male, christian, and antiwar. That makes him an enemy to the Biden regime. And he told the truth about troops being on the ground in Ukraine and a lot more,” Greene, a member of the Homeland Security Committee, said on Twitter. "Ask yourself who is the real enemy?”  

Some Can't handle the truth. Just a thought.
