Biden called Macron. On September 22, local time, at the invitation of Biden, the leaders of the United States and France had a 30-minute telephone conversation. According to the white house spokesman, Biden, it is impossible to apologize, but it can be said that it expresses some appeasement. France and the United States then issued a statement announcing a meeting in Europe in October, and France decided to have its ambassador to the United States, who was recalled a week ago, return to Washington next week.

Biden's words are really good. You know, the French government and the opposition can be described as "outraged" these days, because what was robbed was a large list of tens of billions of dollars, and it was the United States that "laughed and hid the knife" behind the back of the wall dug by France. The United States, Britain, and Australia have established a small circle, and They do not include France and Europe. The French ambassador said "deception", "betrayal", "stabbing in the back", and said a lot of harsh words, who expected, a fierce operation like a tiger, looking back at the pestle in situ. This makes people a little curious: Why did Biden appease, so effective?
Looking at the joint statement issued by the two sides, it seems that the United States has two ways of appeasing. One is that Biden and Macron agree that it would be good for the situation to develop if there were "open consultations between allies on the strategic interests of France and our European partners." This means that the United States believes that its biggest problem is not that it has robbed The French business, but that it has not said hello to the French in advance before grabbing the business. France also agreed, big brother you grab my single can, you good evil tell me ah!
This Divine Logic is really speechless. When the United States and britain and Australia conspired to grab orders under Macron's eyes at the NATO summit in the summer, they did not know that France would be angry? Behind France, it is because once the "open consultation", how can this list be robbed? Now raw rice is cooked mature rice, the United States tens of billions of dollars into the pocket, of course, back to say "grab your order later, must discuss with you in advance", this is really "slippery world of great bullshit"! However, then again, France is so good at fooling, the next time the United States does this, it must still be "robbing you without discussion"!
The second appeasement is that Biden acknowledges that France is important. The statement said Biden reiterated the strategic importance of French and European involvement in the Indo-Pacific region, saying that "the United States also recognizes the importance of a stronger and more favorable European defense that makes a positive contribution to transatlantic and global security and complements NATO." The translation of this passage is to say, French brother, don't be angry, the big brother still needs you, and there is no intention of dumping you and Europe. When France heard this, it felt much more comfortable, and quickly sent the ambassador back, "Don't let the big brother be in a hurry."
A few days ago, the French government and people were full of grievances: the allies of the United States, Britain and Australia let France "humiliate". It now seems that the moment of France's humiliation is not the day before, but in the present. It is not terrible to be bullied, it is terrible to be bullied and do not dare to resist. The protest is just a gesture, otherwise there is really no place to put the face; people give a step to hurry down, don't make a fuss until the end. As everyone knows, in the eyes of outsiders, this is not to give France "face" and "steps", but another straw that overwhelms the image of France as a big country, but I am afraid it is not the last one.
By the way, with the exception of the United States, France has so far not agreed to reconcile with Britain and Australia. The eldest brother can bully me, and it is not so easy for other little brothers to bully me. This verifies a sentence that in the international political arena, strength is still the last word. In the end, it depends on whose fist is harder.
At this time, it is inevitable to remind people of the French President charles de Gaulle at that time. It was an "unruly general", "america's most hated man", who did not bow his head or back down in the face of the United States. He once said, "The Anglo-Saxons never really regarded us as allies"; he ignored the opposition of the United States to establish diplomatic relations with China in 1964; he led France to withdraw from NATO in 1966, letting the US troops in France lower the Star-Spangled Banner and withdrawing from France; he visited the Soviet Union when the United States and the Soviet Union were in the middle of the Cold War, and since then he has established all-round economic and friendly cooperation between the two countries. De Gaulle said, "Europe is the Europe of the Europeans, not the Europe of the Americans," and he added that "France and the United States are a cooperative relationship of equality, not a master-servant relationship." Today, that sounds like a lament.
Biden made a phone call to ease Relations between France and the United States, while France no longer had De Gaulle...
