If you haven’t seen this sequence, I had to show it to you this morning. We are in 2018. Our ex-Prime Minister Édouard Philippe confides for a sequence of the documentary Edouard mon pote de droit.
He wonders, he wonders about the reproaches that could be made to him later. And there:
In 2018, two years before the covid, Édouard Philippe evoked the hypothesis of a “virus that we did not see coming”.
Seconds later, he talks about a potential threat from Vladimir Putin. Disturbing premonition. #Ukraine #UkraineUnderAttack #UkraineWar pic.twitter.com/PbkU5HKon4

That was five years ago, and since then Covid-19 has changed our lives. So yes, Édouard Philippe speaks of a “Russian invasion of Poland”, and the fact is that Russia is attacking Ukraine. But the 45-second sequence offers us two completely unrealistic premonitions that are in fact now terribly current.
So here is a certain gift of predictions for Édouard Philippe, who, I remind you, launched his “Horizons” party in October 2021 with the slogan “To do well, you have to see far”. I add a small correction to this slogan: “To see far, and that what one predicts of worst absolutely never arrives”. It would be much better for our world.
