Last week, France and Germany cancelled an annual summit with tensions between the two already on the rise. So in this video, we discuss why the two European powerhouses disagree over solutions to energy and defence issues and what this means for Europe.

Germany uses diologue inside its own frontiers… but with foreign nations, GermNAZY uses the force and wants to impose its rules. It cannot work.

Everyone hates France, it's arrogance, greed and downright wickedness is reason enough

A strong europe means more fame and power for macron . Scholz wants to keep low profile and has just started.

I have a better resumé:
Germans hate France and the French. They constituated themselves agains France. It's only existance is for targeting France.
You know that, you understand Germany and german politics.
They haven't change since the fourties…

Germany is uncle Sam's puppet, meanwhile France is relatively independent with their policies that's why France has really good relations with few asian countries while Germany despite being a big economy has no ally in Asia.

Don't defend France. No matter how rite they seem, they'll be the ones to strike 1st in an inner European war (which is bound to happen).

France is annoyed by Germany on Mondays & Tuesdays, Italy on Wednesdays & Thursdays, Britain on Thursdays & Fridays… and annoyed with itself on most weekends. It's France, complaining is fav sport.

Jeez… It’s almost like people who say “No” to Nuclear Energy know that if we actually produced it WorldWide it would solve the worlds energy problems easily! 🤣 We need people suffering tho so someone profits.

Germany just be a little more aggressive with france and they will surrender to your demands

The European Union is just a fraud that only favoured German industry. I will never forget how unsolidar Germany has been to the rest of Europe during the 2009 crisis. They treated every poor european country for their ruined economy while this crisis came from the US, like in 1929, like in the 80s. Now here, the war impacts a lot their economy but they made the choice to rely on Russian gas. Once again, they think to themselves only, not to their neighbors. This Union doesn’t make me sense to me anymore.
Worse, they want to rely defense again on the US, a country who may not intervene if a real war against Russia and Europe starts. Germans forgot that Trump or someone with the same ideas may come back. They ignore the US may disclocate themselves with a civil war because of the strong polarisation of its citizens.

Sounds like the exact reason the UK wanted to leave the EU. Didn’t want to have to ask 25+ nations permission to do stuff

German here, we are stupid, France is right in every account.
our Energy packet is just awful and immoral.
we Need more Nuclear power.
we need to be less reliant on the US in defence.
i dont see any point we Germans have thats better then France's

You missed an important point. If energy prices are subsidised this winter, there will be less incentive to cut consumption. One cold snap and the power could be off. Even with the best diesel generators, that's going to be a real problem in the digital world we now live in.

If war never happens in Ukraine then the energy will no longer be a problem in EU.
@louptrjack7354
March 1, 2024 at 4:10 am
Answer is simple. French people still believe that their culture and imperialism power are as important as the other countries but no. EU is all about Germany and its policies, nobody cares what France or French thinks. Also, speak English not French. I don't care your French words as nobody does
