He was right on many things. Should have agreed to Adenauer’s plan of a European army, though, but maybe too early in 1952 and hence understandable.
Better late than never !
Let s go European
His heritage is the only reason why France isn’t riddled with USAF bases, has nukes, relative energetic independence with nuclear power plants, and a proper army.
I hate how right he was.
How the wheel turned… These quotes were labeled pro-Russian a few years ago on this sub.
We are in the midst of a major geopolitical shift, where the US is stepping off the world stage and losing influence accordingly. I didn’t have France on my bingo card as the one that would step forward to fill that void, but it turns out they’ve been preparing for just that for decades. Vive la France!
Oh so very accurate these days
Here we are.
Nailed it, especially 1st image.
Example: Gulf of Tonkin.
I’ve been reading more and more on De Gaulle and why he was hated by the Americans lately, gotta say i understand why now, because he saw their bullshit before it stank.
We scolded them for almost a century. The french were right all along, shame on us.
I can’t believe I’m saying it but we really need some of that arrogance and superiority complex that Americans have. Europe is genuinely great, it’s time for us to start seeing it.
A great leader and statesman.
Jolies photos du vieux. Ça fait bizarre de les voir ici.
Have to admit I remember in my youth reading on De Gaulle in history classes, thinking he was a bit of stiff old man. Have to admit he was spot on.
Please donate to Unite24 (run by the Ukraine government) https://u24.gov.ua/ if you feel just as angry as me about what happened.
What a visionary!!
God I hate Brexit so much right now
I do still feel included in thsj European resurgence but its obviously not quite the same : (
Can we swap with Hungary maybe?
ahead of his time 👏
Well, he was right…no sense in denying the obvious…
GG, France.
I’d like to remind people about the Athenians and the Delian League. There are so many parallels to what’s happening right now.
* A military alliance formed against a common enemy (Persia – Soviet Union)
* Most powerful member starts to treat allies like vassals
* Said member puts troops in allied cities (Athenian soldiers garrisoned in allied cities – US military bases all over Europe)
* They get too greedy and imperialistic
* Allies start to turn against them
All we’re missing is a war breaking out between Athens/USA and a rival power (Sparta/China) which then leads to the final collapse of the alliance. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen though, because the Peloponnesian War is pretty famous for being way too long and way too devastating. And a modern equivalent would 100% be World War 3.
The last true French statesman.
This is so telling….
De Gaulle will likely be reassessed by historians in the coming years with how much of his predictions came true.
The reason why we did not want to emancipate ourselves was because it was such a comfortable dream, after all we had nothing to fear with the Americans around.
Now we have to fear because of the Americans.
EU EU EU
Wise words
6 months ago I was saying these exact same things and getting downvoted here. Nothing has changed between Biden and Trump except that the boot on Europe’s neck is easier to see
We were here for decades, where were you ?
“You may be sure that the Americans will commit all the stupidities they can think of, plus some that are beyond imagination”
We need more leaders like him! Militarization to protect the marginalized and to make us more independent, not to attack and scare others! We have became to independent on America for military and this IS OUR FAULT!
That is exactly what Trump wants.
Time to read some Gaulle; that second quote is how I have felt for a decade or more.
In the end it would seem De Gaulle was right.
Wise man
Thank you for sharing! This is very insightful
And now we have dug De Gaulle from his grave? The conclusion of the first quarter of the century: Large language models and long dead war heroes. Nevertheless, I agree.
It took Europe almost 60 years to realize he was right.
The question now, is the words from our leaders today just words or will we actually do something about it this time.
He traded all the gold out of Fort Knox for dollars and took USA off the gold standard backing currency.
Sad but true 🥲
Hated because she isnt your cash cow anymore?
where is the citation from?
As my friend from the Arab states said to me today “first time feeling the American boot heels on your neck”.
I get why the rest of the world feels the way they do about America.
Vive le France! Vive le Quebec!
Chad De Gaulle vs the virgins rest of State members of EU
It’s time for Europe to understand that both USA and Israel are actively working against us.
Do you know how, in every country’s History, there is a leader whom every successor has been and will be compared to, and most of the time unfavorably?
For us French people, this is that guy.
Obviously, neither him nor his politics were perfect (far from it), but I am really happy that History finally vindicated his correct assessment of the United States’ foreign policy, past and present.
All it needed was for a pig in human skin to drop the charade.
Damn, feels good to have my country praised instead of the usual “french surrender” jokes.
Interviewer (1989): “Mr. Genscher, how do you assess U.S. foreign policy and its treatment of other nations?”
Genscher (Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany): “The Americans pursue a policy of extortion in international politics. They enforce their interests by either threatening other countries with sanctions or forcing them to make certain decisions. This is unacceptable.”
