BERKELEY LAKE, Ga. | This comment is edited from a recent speech by Claude Malhuret, a member of the French Parliament. Malhuret is a physician, lawyer and head of France’s centre-right party since 2014.
You can find his entire speech via Google. Here are portions which many might learn about the feelings of some French people.
“…Never in history has a president of the United States capitulated to the enemy. Never has anyone supported an aggressor against an ally. Never has anyone trampled on the American Constitution, issued so many illegal decrees, dismissed judges who could have prevented him from doing so, dismissed the military general staff in one fell swoop, weakened all checks and balances, and taken control of social media.
“This is not an illiberal drift, it is the beginning of confiscation of democracy.
“I have faith in the strength of the American democracy, and the country is already protesting. But in one month, Trump has done more harm to America than in four years of his last presidency.
“Eight days ago, the United States voted at the United Nations with Russia and North Korea against the Europeans demanding the withdrawal of troops (from Ukraine).
“Two days later, in the Oval Office, the military service shirker was giving war hero Zelensky lessons in morality and strategy before dismissing him, ordering him to submit or resign.
“Tonight , he took another step into infamy by stopping the delivery of weapons that had been promised.
“Let’s not be mistaken, the defeat of Ukraine would be the defeat of Europe. The Baltic States, Georgia, Moldova are already on the list.
“What Putin wants is the end of the order put in place by the United States and its allies 80 years ago with its first order the prohibition of acquiring territory by force.
“The talk that Putin cannot be resisted is false. Russia is in bad shape. In three years, the so- called second largest army in the world has managed only to grab crumbs from a country (Ukraine) three times less populated.
“Interest rates are 25 percent, the collapse of foreign exchange and gold reserves, the demographic collapse show that is on the brink of the abyss.
“The American helping hand is the biggest strategic mistake ever made in a war.”
