The effects of France's rejoining the military architecture of NATO may not necessarily be explained by one-dimensional opinions. On the one hand France could be a restraining force in the alliance, on the other she may reinforce the legitimacy of NATO as a military arm of the United Nations of the United States. Gen. De Gaulle left the military wing of the alliance because the organization had become an extension of the US military arm. May be in the changed global circumstances the US will adopt a less aggressive and a more circumspect attitude towards other countries, in which case a positive role for France can be expected.

Which countries allegedly seek conflict with Russia? And what would be the logical reason anyway for seeking conflict with the biggest and resource-richest country in the region? What is it about Russia's behaviour, Russia's policies and Russia's statements that, combined with Russia's historical record with those countries, so utterly alarms them about Russia that it motivates them to strongly resist Russia's initiatives?

Mister Markov does not seem to understand much about Sarkozy. He should have made the profil of that man. The president of France is the puppet of the neo-liberal americans; he binded over to Bush as much as he could and did not support Obama. Nevertheless the hollywoodian Obama-Circus succeeded and now Sarkozy try to repair. He is the more cynical, machiavelic politician that France has ever produced. He is the perfect product of the marketing and communication business that many actual political systems use. As I have written many times before there is not an once of sincerity in that person. All he want is to become billionnaire, like the Neuilly-sur-Seine' s french oligarchs who make that kind of politician-puppets. He, also dream to move to the Versailles-Palace with his "Pompadour". Unfortunatly for "Little-America", Sarkozy has not understood that Obama needs a scapegoat to take over all Bush's insanities. Russian politicians and medias do not seem to realize how good a comedian and how imbued of himself that man is. Sorry Future French Generations !!! Sincerely. Jean-Claude Meslin It should be easer for you to test him.
