I know, let's defend Cry-Baby-trump's dementia, incompetence, and insanity...

Mr President,

Prime Minister

Ladies and gentlemen Ministers,

My dear Colleagues,

Europe is at a critical turning point in its history. The US shield is slipping away, Ukraine is in danger of being abandoned, Russia is being strengthened.

Washington became the court of Nero, an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers, and a ketamine-controlled jester in charge of the purification of the civil service.

It's a drama for the free world, but it's first of all a drama for the United States. Trump’s message is that there is no point in being his ally since he will not defend you, that he will impose more tariffs on you than his enemies and threaten you to seize your territories while supporting the dictatorships that invade you.

The king of the deal is showing what the art of the deal is flat stomach. He thinks he will intimidate China by going to sleep in front of Putin, but Xi Jinping, in the face of such a shipwreck, is probably accelerating preparations for the invasion of Taiwan.

Never in history has a president of the United States surrendered to the enemy. No one has ever supported an aggressor against an ally. No one has ever trampled on the U.S. Constitution, issued so many illegal executive orders, dismissed the judges who could prevent it, dismissed the military staff in a coup, weakened all counter-powers and took control of social networks.

This is not an illiberal drift, it is a beginning of confiscation of democracy. Let us remember that it took only one month, three weeks and two days to bring down the Weimar Republic and its Constitution.

I have confidence in the strength of American democracy and the country is already protesting. But within a month, Trump has hurt America more than in four years of his last presidency. We were at war with a dictator, we are now fighting against a dictator supported by a traitor.

Eight days ago, just as Trump was passing his hand behind Macron’s back at the White House, the United States was voting at the UN with Russia and North Korea against the Europeans demanding the departure of Russian troops.

Two days later, in the Oval Office, the hidden from military service gave moral and strategy lessons to the war hero Zelensky before firing him like a groom by ordering him to submit or resign.

Last night, he took another step in infamy by stopping the promised delivery of weapons. What to do in the face of this betrayal? The answer is simple: face.

And first of all not to be wrong. The defeat of Ukraine would be the defeat of Europe. The Baltic States, Georgia, Moldova are already on the list. Putin’s goal is to return to Yalta, where half of the continent was ceded to Stalin.

The countries of the South are waiting for the outcome of the conflict to decide whether they should continue to respect Europe or whether they are now free to trample it.

What Putin wants is the end of the order put in place by the United States and its allies 80 years ago, with the first principle of prohibiting the acquisition of territories by force.

This idea is at the very source of the UN, where today the Americans vote in favor of the aggressor and against the attacked, because the Trumpian vision coincides with that of Putin: a return to the spheres of influence, the great powers dictating the fate of small countries.

To me Greenland, Panama and Canada, Ukraine, the Baltic States and Eastern Europe, to him Taiwan and the China Sea.

This is called, in the evenings of the oligarchs of the Gulf of Mar-a-Lago, "diplomatic realism".

So we are alone. But the discourse that Putin cannot be resisted is false. Unlike Kremlin propaganda, Russia is going badly. In three years, the world's so-called second army has only managed to grab crumbs from a country three times less populated.

Interest rates at 25%, the collapse of foreign exchange and gold reserves, demographic collapse show that it is on the verge of collapse. The American boost to Putin is the biggest strategic mistake ever made in a war.

The shock is violent, but it has a virtue. Europeans are coming out of denial. They understood in one day in Munich that the survival of Ukraine and the future of Europe are in their hands and that they have three imperatives.

Accelerate military aid to Ukraine to compensate for the American losting, so that it holds, and of course to impose its presence and that of Europe in any negotiation.

It will cost dearly. It will be necessary to conclude with the taboo of the use of frozen Russian assets. Moscow's accomplices within Europe will have to be circumvented by a coalition of the only voluntary countries, with of course the United Kingdom.

Secondly, to demand that any agreement be accompanied by the return of the kidnapped children, prisoners and absolute security guarantees. After Budapest, Georgia and Minsk, we know what the agreements with Putin are worth. These guarantees go through a military force sufficient to prevent a further invasion.

Finally, and this is the most urgent, because this is what will take the most time, it would be necessary to build the neglected European defence, in favor of the American umbrella since 1945 and scuttled since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

It is a Herculean task, but it is on its success or failure that the leaders of democratic Europe today will be judged in the history books.

Friedrich Merz has just declared that Europe needs its own military alliance. It is to recognize that France had been right for decades by advocating for strategic autonomy.

It remains to build it. It will be necessary to invest heavily, to strengthen the European Defence Fund outside the Maastricht debt criteria, to harmonise weapons and ammunition systems, to accelerate the entry into the Union of Ukraine, which is now the first European army, to rethink the place and conditions of nuclear deterrence from French and British capabilities, and to revive the missile and satellite shields programmes.

The plan announced yesterday by Ursula von der Leyen is a very good starting point. And it will take much more.

Europe will become a military power again only by becoming an industrial power again. In a word, the Draghi report will have to be applied. For good.

But the real rearmament of Europe is its moral rearmament.

We must convince opinion in the face of weariness and fear of war, and especially in the face of Putin’s companions, the extreme right and the extreme left.

They again pleaded in the National Assembly yesterday, Prime Minister, before you, against European unity, against European defence.

They say they want peace. What neither they nor Trump say is that their peace is the surrender, the peace of defeat, the replacement of de Gaulle Zelensky by a Ukrainian Pétain with Putin’s boot.

The peace of the collaborators who have refused for three years any help to the Ukrainians.

Is this the end of the Atlantic Alliance? The risk is great. But in recent days, the public humiliation of Zelensky and all the crazy decisions made over the past month have ended up making the Americans react.

The polls are falling. Republican elected officials are greeted by hostile crowds in their constituencies. Even Fox News is becoming critical.

The Trumpists are no longer in the majesty. They control the executive, the parliament, the Supreme Court and social media.

But in American history, the supporters of freedom have always won. They're starting to raise their heads.

The fate of Ukraine is in the trenches, but it also depends on those in the United States who want to defend democracy, and here on our ability to unite Europeans, to find the means of their common defence, and to make Europe again the power that it once was in history and that it hesitates to become again.

Our parents have defeated fascism and communism at the cost of all sacrifices.

The task of our generation is to overcome the totalitarianisms of the 21st century.

Long live the free Ukraine, long live the democratic Europe.
