It's like a Monday

This Monday the world shifts into another, completely different sequence. Trump's accession to the presidency of the USA calls into question and even endangers many certainties of the previous world. Trump is turning the page on global free trade which was the obsession of his predecessors for 40 years ago. It is true that the Democrats were at the same point on this subject. The simpletons and the… Atlanticists… in Europe and in France, already largely depressed by the Ukrainian war, are entirely disarmed. They are therefore incapable of responding given the obligations created by the Treaty of Lisbon incorporating the European Constitution, which was nevertheless rejected by the French and the Dutch. In the short term, Trump's target is China. Reason why he will disengage all military resources scattered in other “hot spots” in the world. Indeed on “the front line” in Asia-Pacific, facing China, in a conventional shock, the USA is in an inferior position militarily. For now, everyone in the industry is flexing their muscles. But to upgrade, the USA must pool its resources. We will therefore see the withdrawals of the USA treated with a vigor which will leave us speechless in the old Europe which is soft, irresolute and pusillanimous. Let us hope that this will allow lasting peace on the borders of Eastern Europe. And just as much in the Middle East knowing that in this sector the freedom of maneuver of the Trump team vis-à-vis Netanyahu is far from complete. Summary assessment and summary: the world will go into upheaval.

• The California fire is a case that involves the entire planet. First on the ecological level: climate change is entering a harsher phase in terms of the consequences for human beings. This will get worse without pause since no cause is treated except to get worse. Then on the social level. The poor being more exposed and defenseless than the rich, all this hits them first and always harder than for others. Finally, in terms of the global financial system of capitalism. The boss of AXA summed it up well: “I don’t know how to ensure a world with four degrees more”. Billions for reconstruction for victims of natural disasters do not exist. What we will already have to pay will shake the system. Finance is global. The heart of the US economy is in “services”, that is to say globalized finance. In summary: a 2008-type financial crisis multiplied by a factor of one or two or three is hanging over our heads.

• A few lines after the broadcast “The Grand Jury RTL” of which I was the guest this Sunday with Le Figaro, Public Senate, RTL and M6. It allowed me to say what I had to say. The questions were straightforward, to say the least, but in a “teasing” and mutually respectful atmosphere. In fact, I managed to finish almost all my sentences and the journalists almost all their questions. That's enough for me to be satisfied. Seriously, I was able to express my point of view and they got a lot of answers from me on very diverse subjects that were connected to reality. The success of the replay on my YouTube channel and extracts is very encouraging. A good address.

• On France 3, however, I found it lamentable the interrogation of Clémence Guetté on the accusation of anti-Semitism. The host's angle was particularly vicious since he blamed us for not being able to get rid of this accusation. All before asking Clémence Guetté whether or not Netanyahu should be arrested in Poland due to his indictment by the International Court of Justice. We understand, as everyone knows, that these are the questions that concern the majority in France. And therefore not a moment on the budget or on the fires in California. This is of no interest to France 3. And after this sequence of a third of the broadcast she was entitled to a frank swig of political politics and finally “should we leave X” question that we are asked in fact to all our door to door. Null. Clémence Guetté ridiculed the host of the sketch with her composure. But why sacrifice hours of preparation and your morning to go and be mistreated in this way without any interest in expressing our position?

It seems that an instruction had been passed on certain networks because while I was speaking on RTL, messages on X indicated that they did not understand why I was not questioned on the subject. Surprising, no?
