“We are throwing the Russians into the arms of the Chinese”, says Thierry Mariani

Tuesday, November 16, the Minister of the Armed Forces, Florence Parly, castigated the test of an anti-satellite weapon by the Russians, calling them “space wreckers”. On the set of “4 Vérités” of France 2, Wednesday, November 17, Thierry Mariani reacted by taking the side of Russia: “Everyone is preparing for a space war one day or another. The next wars may not kill thousands of people, but they will be done by cutting communications, destroying satellites. States -Unis are doing the same thing. Florence Parly might have reproached Vladimir Poutine for leaving old satellites lying around, so here is one destroyed! “

Regarding the movements of the Russian army observed by NATO on the border between Ukraine and Russia, Thierry Mariani affirmed that the latter “is defending itself”. “How many weapons are currently being sold by the Americans to Ukraine in preparation for a new offensive?”, he argued. However, on the pressure exerted by the Wagner commandos in Mali, the MEP admitted “a mistake” and estimated that France “must bang his fist on the table”. Despite everything, when asked about threats from Russia concerning the gas supply to Europe, Thierry Mariani denounced “schizophrenia”, in particular on the side of the French government: “It’s Emmanuel Macron who wanted us to turn off the Nordstream 2 tap, isn’t it?”

“We have the first gas producer at our European borders, but we say we don’t want it. We prefer to buy from Qatar and Algeria, which are great democracies, as everyone knows. We are totally aligned with US policy “, he continued, with anger. Thierry Mariani said to himself “attached to a Gaullian policy which keeps us at an equal distance between the United States and Russia”. “Doing what we are doing, we are throwing the Russians into the arms of the Chinese”, he estimated.
