There are no recognizable signs that the United States of America wants to withdraw from NATO in Europe. None at all.

"You Europeans must do more conventionally," because we have to shift our focus in the Indo-Pacific.

We can’t expect them to intensify that while maintaining their commitment in Europe to the same extent as before. That is our task.

America is still an ally. I don’t know why you doubt it.

We signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty and committed not to have our own nuclear weapons. Taking this step would be a breach of these treaties.

Why should we question NATO’s nuclear deterrence?

It is guaranteed by the Americans.

The Russians want to be perceived as a mighty bear — you could argue that they are moving through Ukraine at the stilted speed of a garden snail.

Islamist antisemitism, at the origin of the October 7th pogrom, which preachers of hate try to deploy on our soil—in the physical world as in the digital world—intending to make terror reign.

We cannot erase Jewish French people from the Republic's family photo.

Because when a Jew is in danger in the homeland, it is the homeland itself that is in danger.

The digital antisemitism, which, boosted by algorithms, is the culpable inaction of the platforms, gains ground among ordinary people, corrupts our youth, and harasses thousands of our compatriots even in their privacy — haunts the days and nights, dreams, and imaginations.

I want a mandatory penalty of ineligibility to be established for antisemitic, racist, and discriminatory acts and remarks.

France without the Jews is a tree without a trunk.

We have entered a new phase of open conflicts and wars.

Europe just returned from a vacation from world history.

Together, we’ve entered an era that once again is marked by power and big power politics.

China wants to be a leader in shaping the world, and it has paved the ground for that over many years, with strategic patience.

In the foreseeable future, Beijing could be on an equal footing with the United States in military terms.

China systematically uses the dependencies of others, and it redefines the international order in its own favor.

If there had been a unipolar moment after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a unipolar moment in history, it has long passed.

The United States’ claim to leadership has been challenged and possibly lost.

Our prime task as Europeans, and of course as Germans too — is to accept this new reality today.

It does not mean that we accept it as an inevitable fate.

We are not at the mercy of this world. We can shape it.
