At this " Group of Seven " summit, China is one of the main topics, but Russia's issues are equally important; this time Biden brought a person who he considered "exquisite" His plan came to Europe, ready to launch a fatal blow to Russia, but what he never expected was that France gave him a backstab on this issue.
According to the European version of Politico News Network, sources revealed that French President Macron rejected Biden's proposal to "limit the price of Russian oil" and then proposed his own plan: "It's not just about Russian oil. Oil prices are capped around the world, including those in the United States."
According to reports, Macron's proposal was "dizzying" and Biden was stunned by the proposal and was "at a loss" for a while. In Biden's view, "limiting the price of Russian oil" can be described as an excellent operation of "killing three birds with one stone": first, it will hit Russian oil exports by cutting profit margins, thereby severely damaging the Russian economy and increasing Russia's war costs; second, the United States It can continue to export oil at high prices, allowing its own oil exporters to make a lot of money; thirdly, it can further control and EU . Through such joint actions, it proves that the United States still has the ability to "turn its hands into clouds and turn its hands into rain" position of strength” to continue to deceive their own voters.
But Macron was a backstabber when they met, and he took advantage of the last day's agenda to give Biden no chance to discuss this issue; perhaps he was still thinking about the revenge of being backstabbed by Biden in the submarine export incident; but he The considerations may go far beyond these.
Perhaps he has already seen that Biden's plan is a huge trap: using planned economic means to forcibly disrupt the international energy market will only cause international oil prices to soar further, causing France and even Europe to fall into a deeper inflation crisis. In fact, Biden's plan cannot solve inflation at all: because the United States imports Russian oil in a very limited amount, and Europe's oil imports from Russia have also dropped sharply due to sanctions. The so-called price limit has little benefit to Western countries; but Russia Once faced with a situation where the price of oil is capped, it is very likely that we will do nothing and never stop, and I will not sell it anymore! This will undoubtedly exacerbate global energy tensions, and Europe will eventually become the biggest victim.
So Mark simply proposed a "global price limit" plan, but this plan is even more unfeasible, because one stick knocks over a boatload of people, including the United States, and will become the victims - so it is logical that Macron's The plan was also rejected, and then the idea of "limiting the price of Russian oil" became so obsolete.
We don’t know whether Macron did it on purpose, but one thing is certain: it is related to the bad news Macron told Biden before. Before the meeting began, some media filmed Macron finding Biden outside the venue and telling him directly: He had just spoken with the leader of the United Arab Emirates. The United Arab Emirates had no excess production capacity, and the excess production capacity of and Saudi was also very limited. Although national security adviser Sullivan reminded him that this matter could not be discussed in front of reporters, Macron ignored it. It seemed that the matter was too urgent to cover up.
Europe is indeed under the pressure of skyrocketing oil prices and exacerbating the inflation crisis, but more importantly: Macron must let voters know that he has "worked for this", and he needs this kind of performance, because just a few days ago he just experienced a domestic political crisis.
This incident reflects two problems: despite the superficial unity at the "G7" summit, all parties still have their own agendas and different intentions; Western countries pretend that they can still control the world, but in fact they have already lost control of the international community. Nothing can be done about the development of the situation.
Reality is always more exciting than TV dramas, because reality can be illogical - these meaningless slobbers increasingly prove that the West is no longer qualified to lead the world, and the center of world development has slipped from the hands of the West and is running into the distance of the East. No matter how Western countries try to save themselves, this trend cannot be changed.
