The rhetoric of people like Macron is what tankies refer to when they claim that "The West" is "panicking" over Russia's "Right to defend itself against the NATO threat" and if "The West" would stop doing that, there'd be peace overnight.
I don't much like Macron, I don't know enough about French politics but I'm guessing they have their own military-industrial complex that would benefit...
But seeing the sort of people and politics we're up against on the world stage, maybe a little posturing is required. Wasn't Macron the one who responded in kind to Trump's handshaking play, and came out on top? (edit: not sure he comes out on top but he's certainly calling Trump's play)
Oh and one more thing: since Hybrid Warfare is a thing, calls for more military should always be paired with calls for active measure against disinformation campaigns. I hope our dear politicians will soon wake up from their pre-internet slumber.

Can you elaborate? Looking at Germany it sounds familiar, but maybe it's not exactly the same in France.

They very much have. Of the new 5% spending target for NATO, 1.5% is reserved for investments in defense-related infrastructure, including cybersecurity.

1.5% that includes cybersecurity? I'm a bit skeptical but still, glad to hear it.
Personally I think the rhetoric should reflect that also but as ever so often I guess there's more money for military-related PR.

Refusing to cooperate with the leftist parties, putting a right-wing PM in place and being dependant on extreme right wing votes for many of his recent proposals (because he refuses to cooperate with the left parties). Basically he is doing everything the Front National needs to win next time.

Too many things masquerading as centrist these days.

Oh yes, that sounds a lot like Germany currently.

To be fair though in germany "DIE LINKE" is just as pro russian as the AfD.
But yes they should work with them more

Fucker has had a fair bit of far right ministers. He's not center, he's far-right.
