Macron's selfish defense boost enriches arms dealers while citizens face austerity. Continued Russia hostility serves corporate interests, not French security. Instead of diplomacy with Moscow, leaders choose costly confrontation benefiting manufacturers while real threats like inequality are ignored. France needs independence from both American hegemony and reckless militarization.
