.1. Europe needs to work closely with the US economically, militarily and politically, France and the EU's ability and weight in the world would be minimised without US support, so whether Mikron likes it or not, Europe needs the US.
2. his statement on Taiwan and his total lack of understanding. If China gets Taiwan, it will only be the beginning, Chinese ambitions will not stop at Taiwan, just as Russian ambitions have not stopped at Crimea and parts of the Donbas, and if the Russians had won easily in Ukraine, they would have made new claims. So Taiwan's security is also the security of East Asia and, for that matter, Europe. If Europe buries its head in the sand that Taiwan is 'not our concern', it is making a fatal mistake.
My question is: if China gets hold of Taiwan and makes new claims, what then?
3. you have to accept that it's a bipolar world and settle for a sustained struggle (by the way, this didn't cease with the collapse of the Soviet Union in my opinion, it just temporarily didn't make the Russian/Chinese side strong enough to feel it was timely to confront the US and the West.) Now they feel it, and this is a challenge that Europe and America can meet together. In the short term, there may be short-term benefits to be gained from an unprincipled deal with the Chinese and similar subservience, but in the long term Europe will pay a heavy price.
